Building positive relationships and peace of mind for dog and puppy guardians in the greater Sacramento, California area and beyond.

Dogs can bring so much joy and companionship to our lives, but sometimes we need a bit of guidance teaching them how to how to fit into our homes and navigate our human world.

Puppy Training

Positive experiences during the first few months of your puppy’s life will help them develop into a happy and confident dog. We teach puppies basic behaviors and give them and their guardians the skills they need to thrive throughout life.

DogTraining

Whether your dog is 10 months or 10 years old, it’s never too late to learn new skills and behaviors. We work with guardians to determine where they are struggling and teach their dogs new behaviors that will make everyday life easier for everyone.

Compassionate, Effective, and Backed By Science

“Karuna” is a Sanskrit word meaning an action taken to diminish the suffering of others, or a compassionate act. At Karuna k9 we approach training from this place of compassion.

Our goal is to help dogs and their guardians live their best lives possible together by building strong relationships based on communication and trust. We use only positive training methods that are free from coercion, fear, and punishment. Not only are positive methods extremely effective in teaching and maintaining behaviors, but they also avoid the potential for unintended effects such as anxiety, fear, and aggression often associated with more traditional and aversive training methods. We use these methods, combined with training games, to create real-world training solutions that are safe, effective, and rewarding for everyone involved.
