What they say about themselves
Beth Koenig's background isn't typical for a pet dog trainer. She started working with police dogs in 2005, sparked by a high school senior project, and has since raised and trained more than 18 dogs for police work, personal protection, and French Ring sport. In 2011, she traveled through 12 European countries studying Schutzhund, Mondio Ring, and other protection dog disciplines. She began applying this experience to pet dogs in 2007.
Beth's K9 Training, based in Fremont, now focuses heavily on aggression cases and leash reactivity. According to her site, she claims a 100% success rate with aggressive dogs over her two decades of work—a bold statement worth discussing directly with her. She also states that most clients complete behavior modification or obedience programs in about two weeks, though that depends on scheduling.
Her approach adapts to each dog rather than following a single method. She describes working directly with both dog and owner, drawing on her police and protection dog background to inform how she handles pet behavior issues. The business serves a wide range: pet owners struggling with reactive or aggressive dogs, police agencies needing K9 training, and individuals seeking personal protection or sport dogs. She says she'll work with any breed and any owner willing to learn.
In-home training covers a wide range, from basic obedience to specialized work like aggression modification, protection dog training, and scent detection. Beth's K9 Training also offers police K9 programs and tracking work. Some behavior programs run about two weeks, though durations vary by focus.
