Mabel and I had worked with several trainers for her excitement and reactivity, but saw little progress until we found Steph at KOR K9. From the beginning, Steph helped me understand what was happening for Mabel when she became overwhelmed and went over threshold. Looking at her breeding and how it influenced her behaviour made everything finally make sense.

Steph also helped me recognise how my own anxiety was impacting Mabel, and we worked on this alongside her training. With Steph’s guidance and her working dogs, we focused on structured exposure and practical techniques. There was no quick fix, but with consistent work and ongoing support, we started to see real progress.

Mabel is now a completely different dog. She still has her fun, excitable personality, but we can move through busy environments calmly and confidently. She can settle in most situations, regulate herself much better, and I feel far more confident in how to support her when challenges arise.

Thanks to Steph, I can now truly enjoy life with Mabel and take her places I once thought weren’t possible. I highly recommend KOR K9 to anyone wanting the skills and knowledge to build a better life with their dog.

Steph at KOR K9 is a phenomenal trainer. Whether you’re looking for help with a reactive dog, one with separation anxiety or you want to learn fun activities to do with your dogs - Steph is great in all aspects! She is not a ‘one-size fits all’ trainer either. Being able to think outside the box and troubleshoot if common, traditional methods don’t work; she stands out from many other dog trainers in the industry! Her approach to dog training is truly one to admire and I’m very grateful for all the work she has put in to my training with Harley & Marci. We have come so far in our training journey from teaching neutrality in everyday environments to competing and accomplishing titles in the dog sports ring. Thank you again and again!

Steph at KOR K9 is nothing short of exceptional. Her passion for what she does is evident in every session, and she genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome for both dog and owner. She has guided us through confidence building, reactivity training, obedience, trick training, and enriching the busy minds of our two Border Collies. No matter the challenge, Steph approaches it with patience, skill, and a deep understanding of canine behaviour. Watching Steph work is like watching an artist in her element. She demonstrates techniques with such clarity and precision that you can actually see your dog’s potential unfold in real time. What’s even more empowering is that Steph doesn’t just train your dog, she equips you with the knowledge and confidence to achieve those same results as a team. We are endlessly grateful for the guidance, support, and practical tips she has given us. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly invested in your success, Steph at KOR K9 is simply the best.

Steph has assisted me with our reactive Rotti through providing sound advice and training techniques that have allowed us to become a team. Steph has also recommended several products to ensure our boy is safe and remains engaged with his community in a calm manner. Steph has also given sound advice regarding types of foods and feeding regimes to keep our boy in his best health and shape. I fully recommend Steph’s services as she provides clear, easy to understand instructions and training that allows owners to bond with their dogs on a whole new level. Her training is geared to teach not just the doggo but the owners and extended household as well.
