Customized Training Programs

Delivering Real Results That Last!

Your dog isn’t a template—and their training shouldn’t be either. We take the time to understand your dog’s personality, behavior, and specific challenges before creating a customized training plan. This allows us to focus on what your dog actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all program. The result is clearer communication, faster progress, and training that truly sticks.

Rated 5 out of 5

Randi has an internal connection with any dog she trains. It's definitely a gift. She loves what she does and the dogs sense it. After training the dogs she passes on the skills necessary for the owner to reinforce the skills so they can build the necessary relationship with their dog. Her training style is unique and successful.

Randi did great with our puppy! I was getting concerned with his behavior and larger size with my 2 young children and a senior dog. She taught him a lot but more importantly taught us how to work with him! Highly recommend!

I've worked with Randi for many years now. Her skill and passion is evident in everything she does. From working with her own dogs to helping others conquer difficult challenges, there's nothing she can't do. I cannot recommend her enough!

WHAT’S POSSIBLE

Real Dogs. Real Results.

Here’s what families just like yours experienced after training with K9Aholics MI

BEFOREAFTER

Before: Max, a 2-year-old German Shepherd, lunged and barked at every dog on walks. His owner stopped walking him entirely because she couldn’t control him. She felt embarrassed and isolated.

After: After a 3-week board & train with Randi, Max walks calmly on a loose leash past other dogs without reacting. His owner now takes him to parks, pet stores, and on neighborhood walks with zero anxiety. She says she finally has the dog she always wanted.

→ 3-Week Board & Train · Leash Reactivity

— Sarah M. & Max (German Shepherd)

BEFOREAFTER

Before: Bella, a 3-year-old rescue mix, had severe separation anxiety. She destroyed furniture, chewed through a crate door, and howled for hours when left alone. Her owners couldn’t leave the house without coming home to destruction and noise complaints from neighbors.

After: Through Randi’s behavior modification program, Bella learned to self-settle and stay calm when left alone. Within 4 weeks, she was resting quietly for 6+ hours. Her owners can finally go to work and run errands without worrying. The crate is now her safe space — not a prison.

→ Behavior Modification · Separation Anxiety

— The Williams Family & Bella (Lab/Pit Mix)

BEFOREAFTER

Before: Cooper was a 5-month-old Goldendoodle who was completely out of control — jumping on everyone who walked through the door, mouthing hands constantly, pulling so hard on leash walks that his owner’s shoulder was sore. Zero impulse control, zero recall. They considered rehoming him.

After: Cooper came home from the puppy board & train sitting at the door when guests arrive, walking on a loose leash, and coming when called on the first command. His family went from “What did we get ourselves into?” to “He’s the best dog we’ve ever had.” Randi also taught them exactly how to maintain everything at home.

→ Puppy Board & Train · Foundation Obedience

— Jessica K. & Cooper (Goldendoodle, 5 mo.)

BEFOREAFTER

Before: Duke, a 4-year-old rescue Shepherd mix, was terrified of everything — men, loud noises, other dogs, even the leash. His owner rescued him from a neglect situation but couldn’t get him to go on walks or let anyone near him. He spent most of his time hiding under furniture.

After: With Randi’s vet tech background and her patient, trust-based approach, Duke slowly came out of his shell. After 4 weeks of behavior modification, Duke walks confidently on leash, greets new people calmly, and no longer hides when someone comes to the door. His owner says “It’s like watching him become a real dog for the first time.”

→ Behavior Modification · Fear & Anxiety

— Marcus D. & Duke (Shepherd Mix Rescue)

BEFOREAFTER

Before: Rosie, a 1-year-old Husky, had completely taken over the house — counter surfing, stealing food, bolting out the front door every chance she got, and completely ignoring every command. Her owners had tried two other trainers with no results and were at their breaking point.

After: After a 3-week board & train, Rosie now holds a reliable sit-stay even with the front door wide open. She has solid recall, stays off counters, and walks beautifully on leash. Her owners say they went from dreading being home to actually enjoying their dog. “We tried everything before Randi. She’s the one who finally cracked the code.”

→ 3-Week Board & Train · Obedience & Impulse Control

— Chris & Amanda R. & Rosie (Siberian Husky)

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your Board & Train program work?

When your dog stays with me, they become part of a structured daily routine — not a kennel environment. Training is integrated throughout the day to build reliable obedience, impulse control, and better decision-making skills. Each program is tailored to your dog’s specific goals. At the end, we complete hands-on transfer sessions so you know exactly how to maintain the results at home.

Will my dog be safe while staying with you?

Yes. Safety and well-being are always a priority. With my background as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, I understand how health, stress, and environment impact behavior. Dogs are monitored closely, receive structured care, and are trained thoughtfully to avoid unnecessary stress. You’ll also receive updates and progress check-ins throughout their stay.

What types of dogs do you specialize in?

I specialize in working with reactive, anxious, impulsive, and “difficult” dogs — the ones that often need more structure and clarity. I also see excellent results with herding breeds, working breeds, retrievers, and mixed breeds. My approach focuses on communication and accountability, helping dogs build stability and confidence in everyday life.

Do you offer private lessons?

Yes. Private lessons start in your home where behaviors begin and then progress into public settings for real-life reliability. These sessions are ideal for owners who want hands-on guidance and are ready to be active participants in their dog’s training. We focus on practical obedience skills like sit, down, place, heel, and recall.

How long does training take?

Every dog is different. Some behaviors improve quickly with structure and clarity, while more complex issues like reactivity or anxiety require consistency over time. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations and recommend the program that best fits your dog’s needs.

What training methods do you use?

I use a balanced training approach that combines positive reinforcement with clear structure and accountability. Dogs thrive when expectations are consistent and communication is clear. My goal is to build understanding — not confusion — so your dog can confidently succeed at home and in public.

Will the results last after training?

Yes — as long as structure and consistency continue at home. That’s why owner education is a major part of my programs. I don’t just train your dog; I teach you how to maintain the communication and expectations that create lasting success.
