Go From Embarrassed to Proud of Your Dog in Just 4 Weeks
Hi, my name is Jevry! I’m the owner of Seattle K9 Command, and I love helping dog owners from along the I5 corridor from Along I-5 From North Portland to Seattle train their dogs.
At Seattle K9 Command, we know just how much you love your dog and want to give them the life that they deserve.
However, despite spending hours watching training videos on YouTube, working with your dog yourself, and even hiring “positive reinforcement” trainers, nothing seems to work! You’re still stuck in the same cycle of embarrassment and stress, and you’re no closer to knowing how to actually go on adventures with your dog.
I’m here to tell you that a better life is possible where you:
✓ Feel proud of your dog’s behavior and confident enough to take them anywhere.
✓ Experience ease and calm both at home and out in the world.
✓ Take them with you on vacations, errands, and walks and feel proud of them the entire time.
That’s the life we would love to give you at Seattle K9 Command. When you send your dog to stay with me, you’ll go from feeling completely frustrated and embarrassed to confident and proud about your dogs in 30 days or less.
No matter their breed or specific issues, there’s no dog we can’t train! So, send us a message, but don’t wait! If you message us by the last day of the month, we’ll give you $200 off any training package with us. We’re excited to meet you and your dog!

Sending him to Jevry for three weeks completely changed everything. He’s like a new dog. With her guidance and training, our family is a lot happier, and Indy is able to go anywhere with us without any stress.

At K-9 Command, we offer a range of services designed to address your dog’s specific needs and help you get a better life with them.

Is your dog doing pretty well, but you just don’t have time to train them fully? Let them become the dog you dreamed you’d own at our board-and-train program! Through our program, you’ll go from feeling embarrassed at your dog’s frustrating behavior to having a well-trained dog you can take anywhere.

Acute Reconditioning (Behavior Mod) Board & Train
Is your dog aggressive or reactive with other dogs? Have they bitten a human? You might be feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and scared that it will happen again, and you might be considering re-homing them, or even putting them down. No one should have to feel that way about the dog they care about!
We’d love to help your dog go from being a danger to themselves and others to being able to calmly exist around people and other animals. In this program, we go after the root of the problem by addressing your dog’s entire mindset. That’s why our reconditioning training works when other trainers fail.

Puppy Boarding School
For puppies 12 – 20 Weeks
While your kids enjoy playing and snuggling with the new puppy, you have to deal with the less cuddly aspects. Who knew that puppies could be so much like little velociraptors? They roam around your home, chew on everything they can get their sharp little teeth into (including you!), shriek for hours when you try to put them in their kennel, and leave small presents for you to find.
Good news! Our puppy boarding school can turn your little menace into the behaved family dog you always wanted. When they come home, you’ll finally get to enjoy all the cute playfulness of having a puppy, along with the manners of a well-trained dog who pees outside and leaves your hands and furniture alone.
Our Puppy-Boarding School Includes:
✓ Anywhere between three and four weeks of training where we help your puppy become a well-behaved dog for life!
✓ One full year of support via email where we’ll help you and your dog dog go from a well-behaved puppy to a fully-grown and well-trained adult dog!
Board & Play
Do you travel often? What if you could leave your dog somewhere where they’d not only be safe and happy, but could also come home better trained? All of our past board and train clients get access to our exclusive boarding and continued training. Your dog stays with us in the comfort and safety of our home instead of a loud, stressful kennel environment. We promise that the whole time you’re gone, your dog will be having a great vacation too, spending their time learning, playing, and exercising until you come home.
Tired of Feeling Stressed & Embarrassed by Your Dog?
You brought your dog home with big, exciting plans of adventures you would get to do together. Right now, you can’t do any of it because your dog feels so out of control. You can’t take them out because they lose their mind around other people, dogs, cats, squirrels, and anything that seems to move.
You can’t leave them home alone because they mark and chew on all your furniture. You can’t have guests over because your friends don’t enjoy being jumped up on like a doggy springboard.
You tried the DIY training route with YouTube videos, but all the different advice was confusing and inconsistent, so nothing stuck.
Maybe you tried working with a “positive reinforcement only” trainer, but no amount of treats were able to get your dog’s attention. Now, you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, alone, and you don’t know what to do. It’s awful to think about re-homing your dog, but you’re not sure how much longer you can handle these problems affecting your relationships and quality of life.
Things don’t have to stay this way.
Live a life of peace, joy, and freedom with your dog.
Imagine your dog being the dog you dreamed of. A dog who:
✓ Walks politely beside you at the park, even with all kinds of distractions.
✓ Is fun to bring along on all your hiking, running, biking, camping, or/and paddle boarding adventures.
✓Comes with you on vacations, trips, even errands and sits calmly in the car.
✓ Can have fun running around and playing outside, and still come back to you every time you call.
✓ Calmly relaxes at home and respects your boundaries, even while you’re out.
✓ Politely greets guests who come over.
Imagine a life where you feel proud of your dog, not embarrassed…a life where you feel confident in your ability to communicate and enjoy being with them anywhere.
This life is possible, and it’s less than 30 days away with our board-and-train experience!
4 Essential Features To Unleash Adventures With Your Dog
Free Pick-Up and Drop-Off
We take the hassle out of training by picking up your dog and dropping them off at a convenient location for us both!
Exclusive Boarding for Graduates
We love it when past graduates come stay with us! When you graduate from a program, your dog is eligible for exclusive boarding. This way, you’ll know your dog is safe and continues to be trained, even when you’re away.
Lifetime Support
Some trainers are content to take your check, train your dog, pat them on the head, and never see you again no matter what. That’s not how the kibble crumbles here. We offer lifetime support with digital feedback on any behavioral issues, even if your dog transfers to a new home or is left with a sitter. We’re always here to help anytime you have a question!
Comprehensive Owner Education
The truth is that training you is as important, if not more, than training your dog. It doesn’t matter what your dog learns during training if you don’t keep it up at home. That’s why our education goes beyond simple behaviors. You’ll learn the theory and science behind dog behavior, including how to communicate with your dog in congruence with how they think and are motivated. You’ll learn everything you need to help any dog you own maintain training for life. You can even use our methods to help train your other dog!
Process
A Structured System for a Calmer Dog and a Happier You
Our training process is a structured system we can use to take any dog from a menace to a model canine citizen.
01.
Envision Your Life
We start with a detailed conversation asking about your perfect life with your dog. Want to take them trail running in the Cascades? Paddle boarding on the lake? Have them sit calmly at a brew pub? Our training makes it all possible.
02.
Training
We pick up your dog and bring them to stay with us. We start with foundations, using tools like treats and a slip lead collar. Your dog will work for their daily food, learning basic obedience and how to be calm in any situation.
03.
Real-World Application
We train your dog in real-world environments like parks, stores, and restaurants. We move on to advanced training tools that fit your dog’s personality. This is where we make sure their good behavior sticks in any situation.
04.
Owner Education
When your dog comes home, we give you a deep education session to teach you everything you need to know to understand your dog and continue their good behavior. You’ll learn everything you need to know to help any dog you own be successful for life!
05.
Hands-On Practice
Finally, we do a hands-on walk around your neighborhood or a high-distraction area. Everyone in your family who wants to practice gets the opportunity, so you can all learn to work with your dog successfully.
Owner Education: The Key To Top-Tier Training That Lasts A Lifetime
Our training doesn’t end when your dog comes home. We know from firsthand experience that a well-trained dog with an uneducated owner will fall back into old habits.
That’s why our program includes a comprehensive private education and training session. In this 3-hour deep dive, you’ll learn:
✓ How dogs learn and how you can tap into that to teach them best.
✓ What truly motivates your dog beyond just treats so you can get them to do what you want in any situation, no matter how high the stimulation.
✓ How to be both an affectionate companion and a clear leader for your dog, balancing love and structure to maximize their success.
✓ What to expect during the first three days, weeks, and months after your dog comes home to ensure their training lasts a lifetime.
✓ And more!
We’ll also give you a hands-on session where you can practice everything you’ve learned. When we’re done, you’ll feel confident and ready to take your dog anywhere.

Our Past Canine Transformations
“We almost rehomed him; now he’s well-trained and calm.”
Leaving our Bubba with Jevry for three short weeks was the best thing we could have done! We were considering rehoming him, as he was having a lot of difficulty being introduced to new people. He came home as our same lovable, energetic boy—but well-trained, more calm, less loud or aggressive, and able to walk loose-leash and be in public spaces with strangers and other dogs without being crazy! Thank you! Jevry is an AMAZING dog (and human) trainer. ❤️🐾
Marybeth Bohm
“Our anxious dog can now go anywhere stress-free.”
Our 8-month-old dog, Indy, was very anxious anytime we had people over, and taking him for walks was stressful, as we didn’t know how he would react to others. Sending him to Jevry for three weeks completely changed everything. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first, but he’s like a new dog. With her guidance and training, our family is a lot happier, and Indy is able to go anywhere with us without any stress. Our family highly recommends her program; it is definitely worth it.

“Helpless owner to life-changing results with my puppy.”
I can’t recommend K9 Command enough! I sent my 6-month-old Border Collie/Aussie puppy for the 3-week Board & Train, and it far exceeded my expectations. My pup was going through adolescence, which included chewing, digging holes, pushing boundaries, and uncontrollable energy. He had extreme crate anxiety and couldn’t be left in a room without doing serious damage. I had attended a puppy training class that covered basic commands but left me feeling helpless and overwhelmed. I was desperate when I reached out to Jevry and decided to take the plunge.
We were paired with Sami, and from the moment we arrived, I knew we were in good hands. She reassured me that they try every tool and technique until something works. She sent daily updates and videos of my pup’s progress and explained what was working and why. After coming home, the difference in him is unbelievable. His behavior has dramatically improved, and he seems much happier. When I told Sami that I didn’t recognize my dog, she said he is the same dog I dropped off, just with better tools of communication.
The training and support we received from K9 Command has been life-changing. My only regret is not working with them sooner! My pup and I have a lifelong road ahead of learning to communicate better, but we now have a solid baseline and framework to build on.
Laura Caudle
“From barking chaos to paddleboarding with a confident dog.”
I called K9 Command because I was having a hard time getting my new “pandemic puppy” (a young pit bull mix) and my old-timer shepherd mix to get along. There was a lot of barking that was giving me a lot of stress. From the first phone conversation I had with Jevry, I knew she could help. She’s calm, knowledgeable, positive, and encouraging. We agreed on six private lessons to get the new dog on the right track.
When we met, Jevry quickly assessed the relationship between the dogs—and between all the humans and the dogs—and showed us how to achieve a better balance. Turns out the old dog was the boss of everyone (even me), but recognizing that made it easy to see how to fix it. The new dog, a recent rescue, was frequently afraid and low in confidence. We started with just a few simple exercises, and after a couple of weeks of lessons and practice, we had 100% more peace and obedience at home.
Then the fun started! We decided we wanted to teach the new dog to swim and ride on a paddleboard. Jevry’s response was, “Well, that’s easy,” and it was. It was also a blast. Our dog—who had been afraid to get wet—now loves to swim, fetch while swimming, and ride a paddleboard around the lake. Jevry helped us build trust with her, and that’s made all the difference. I’d very highly recommend her.

“He’s now a joy to walk and hike with.”
I’m so glad I did my research and came across K9 Command. I did the Boarding & Training for three weeks. She did an excellent job with him. He’s a joy to walk and go hiking with now. He doesn’t pull on the leash and is calm around other dogs. We will be using Raylynn for boarding if we need to. I highly recommend K9 Command.

“I couldn’t walk my reactive dog. They gave him back.”
This is THE best dog training facility in the Seattle area. I have a one-year-old Staffy/Chow Chow mix named Dharma. Before I brought him to K9 Command, I couldn’t walk him. He wouldn’t sit still, was reactive on leash, and didn’t know how to relax at home in any capacity. I took my dog to so many training facilities in the area and basically paid for misinformation. K9 Command was the first and only place to set the record straight and give me the tools I actually needed to train and advocate for Dharma. Balanced trainers succeed where other types of trainers fail because they speak dog the way dogs do. If they act appropriately, they get rewarded; act out, and they get consequences. They gave me my dog back.

“Our jumping, unmanageable puppy is now a perfect gentleman.”
I signed my one-year-old golden retriever up for the board and train program after realizing I wasn’t as good at training a puppy as I thought. He had undesirable tendencies, such as jumping on EVERYONE, pulling on the leash, zoomies around the apartment, and disregarding commands when distracted. I didn’t want these tendencies to turn into habits, so I asked around and was recommended K9 Command.
Initially, the price tag made me hesitate, but after having my pup back for about three weeks and seeing the results, I am fully convinced it was totally worth it! I am so happy with how well-mannered he is, and it is noticeable to strangers. He is always getting compliments for his good behavior and is just a much more manageable puppy. The “place” command really helps us bring his energy level down and mellow him out. Additionally, he is a perfect gentleman on walks now! It was honestly unbelievable.
My favorite part was the at-home orientation, where Jevry and her husband walked us through what they had been working on with Leo over the past three weeks. They gave us handouts and used specific analogies to help us be more consistent trainers. This has allowed us to continue his training and see real results. So not only did it help Leo, but it taught me how to be a better trainer. It was a wonderful experience, and I am very grateful to Jevry and her team!
Maci McCravy
“Our hyper, whiny GSD mix finally has impulse control.”
Jevry changed our lives! We’d done several kinds of training with Hanx, our German Shepherd Mix (of GSD and all the whiny, hyper dogs on the menu). We’d done positive reinforcement training but learned that while it was kind and gentle, there wasn’t a way to tell Hanx what we didn’t want; we could only reward what we did want. It was an incomplete vocabulary, and food just activated him more! We swung the opposite direction and worked with a local trainer who was a bit more draconian, and we left feeling that while we had tools, there had to be a better way.
Enter K9 Command! Jevry took Hanx for a two-week board and train program customized to what he needed: impulse control. We now have an exceptionally quiet 4.0 version of our beautiful boy. He listens, he stays in place, and he’s so quiet, sometimes we forget he’s there! Jevry took the time to learn about Hanx and customized his training to suit his particular needs. We can now play with Hanx and love him while speaking a language he understands. We’ve gone from being frustrated to being amazed at what Jevry accomplished in two weeks. It’s almost miraculous—except it’s not a miracle, it’s just the results of someone who truly knows what she’s doing.

Case Study: JJ the “Save My Marriage” Pittie
From Fighting Each Other & Their Dog to a Home of Harmony and Peace
JJ was a black and white Pitbull with insane energy levels. He was just too strong for her owner and her husband. He would jump and drag them around on the leash. His behavior was so bad that the husband and wife had been having issues in their own relationship with how to handle the dog.
We don’t claim to have marriage-saving services, but we certainly helped train JJ to make their lives a lot easier!
We taught this couple to use JJ’s own energy to train him. Instead of fighting him, we taught them how to use his energy to exhaust himself and then redirect his behavior when he got tired. Now, he walks past dogs and people politely. He sleeps in a kennel, and the owners have the tools to correct and communicate with him and set expectations. Even though we’re not marriage counselors, JJ is much more polite, and they told us that having at least one relationship operating smoothly certainly made things easier!

Meet Lead Trainer Jevry
I Know Your Dog Is Just Misunderstood, Not Bad
I’m Jevry, the head trainer at K-9 Command. I started K-9 Command because I believe a great life with your dog is possible, no matter their breed or past. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that most dog behavioral issues are simply a communication problem—not a bad dog problem.
Over the years, I’ve seen countless dogs labeled as “hopeless” or “too much to handle” by their owners. For these dogs, a one-size-fits-all or “positive-only” approach often fails, leaving owners feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and defeated.
I’m here to show you a different way. A balanced approach that gives your dog the clear boundaries and leadership they need to thrive. With our training, you’ll gain the confidence to lead your dog and the freedom and pride that comes with them knowing how to behave in any situation. I’ve had clients tell me our training helped their marriage or that they thought we had cloned their dog because of how well-behaved they became. My goal is to help you and your dog build a happy, peaceful, and joyful life together. Send me a message, and let’s get started today!

F.A.Q.s
How well does the training transfer to others?
We know you’re not going to be the only person interacting with your dog. You need to equip others to handle them, whether it’s your in-laws, a babysitter, or your son going out for a run. Our training is based on a structured system of communication that anyone can learn. You and your family will learn the theory and science behind the training, not just mechanics, so you can communicate with them and help others do the same.
How do I know the training will stick?
This is a great question we hear a lot. Training the dog is easy, our ability to train you is the most important thing for the training to stick. That’s why we focus on education at Seattle K9 Command. We’ll teach you the skills to continue their good behavior. Our education process is more comprehensive than most trainers, and this is the reason for it.
What if it doesn't work for my dog?
We get it, your dog is special, and there’s always the fear that they’re the exception. Maybe past experiences with dog trainers have left you skeptical. We’re sympathetic but also confident we can train any dog in any situation and give you the life you want. Don’t just take our word for it! We’re happy to connect you with a past client with a similar issue. We also offer lifetime support, so if problems arise, we’re here to help you work through them.
Do you do aggression or human bite cases?
We work with any dog, breed, or problem. We’ve worked with dogs that have bitten children and adults. From years of experience, we know issues with reactivity and aggression aren’t that different from basic obedience. It all fundamentally comes down to a miscommunication about how to act in any situation, not a bad dog. We may just need to keep them longer at the board and train, but we’re confident in our ability to get results.
Why should I do a board and train and not another training style?
Every trainer has training styles they like. Some like board and trains, others like in-person training or group classes. We’re not saying other people can’t get results, but we love the board and train model because it’s the fastest and easiest way to get the results you want. We do the initial foundational work, and (here’s the important part) we teach you how to maintain it. Board and trains only work if we equip you with the tools to maintain, and that’s why we focus so much on education. They’re also the best way to get total off-leash obedience quickly, especially for high-drive dogs. In the end, there’s a million ways to skin a cat, a thousand ways to train a dog, but this is the one we think works best.
