We specialize in complex behavior cases
K9 Adventures helps families in Albuquerque whose dogs are:
Lunging, barking, or growling on walks
Anxious at the vet or in new places
Fighting or guarding resources in multi-dog homes
Labeled “dangerous,” “stubborn,” or have been turned away by other trainers
Feeling Hopeless About Your Dog’s Behavior?
You’re not alone - and you’re in the right place.
What Makes Us Different
At K9 Adventures, we look past the barking and biting and focus on what’s really broken: communication and trust between you and your dog. There is no one-size-fits-all formula here. We design our training around:
Your dog’s history and triggers
Your household and routines
What “success” actually looks like for your life
Our goal: restore peace to your home and rebuild a calm, confident relationship between you and your dog.
Who We Help
We know that every dog's story is unique. However, many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated, isolated, and overwhelmed by challenges that other trainers may not be equipped to handle.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
Your world shrinks when you see another dog or person on a walk. You cross streets, avoid certain times of day, and constantly apologize for barking, lunging, or growling.
Our approach: We treat reactivity as fear, not defiance. We help you become a calm, consistent leader while we build your dog’s confidence in carefully set-up situations.
The goal: A dog who can handle the world more calmly, and walks that feel safe again.
For the Fearful & Reactive Dog
For The Rescue with a Troubled Past
You brought home a wonderful dog with a hard history. Now you’re seeing fear, shutdown, or destructive anxiety and you’re not sure how to reach them.
Our approach: We move at your dog’s pace, never forcing interactions. We build a foundation of safety and predictable routines so your dog can finally feel “home.”
The goal: A dog who can leave their past behind and enjoy their new life with you.
You feel like a referee in your own home. Fights, guarding, and tension leave you worried someone will get hurt.
Our approach: We study your pack dynamics, identify triggers, and put structure and clear rules in place for every dog.
The goal: A calmer household where every dog understands their role and everyone can relax again.
For the Multi-Dog Household in Conflict
