A calmer dog.
A stronger bond.
For life.
Relationship-based, psychology-first dog training across the Treasure Valley. We coach you and your dog together with a balanced approach, so the results last long after graduation day.
Not a one-size-fits-all program. A relationship, built on Love, Trust and Respect.
Most training only addresses symptoms. Our approach changes the way your dog experiences the world, and teaches you to read, communicate, and lead effectively. That's what makes real lasting change.
Built Around Your Family
No cookie-cutter programs. We assess your dog's temperament and your family's goals, then build a plan that works.
Balanced for Real Change
Food shapes obedience but its understanding dog psychology and relationships that create the lasting change owners actually want.
A Bond Built on Trust
Clear communication reads to your dog as calm leadership, so following you becomes their choice, not a battle.
A plan built around your Family

Alexandria, founder of Mountain Spirit K9
Alexandria built Mountain Spirit K9 on a primal understanding of dogs as pack animals, and a belief that confident, calm leadership starts with the owner. Her clients describe her the same way, again and again: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in every dog she meets.
She doesn’t just train your dog. She coaches you, so you leave fluent in your dog’s language, with support that lasts for the life of your pack.
What dog owners say
“The difference they've made in our Vizsla puppy has been everything. No one will be more thoughtful or creative with training.”
“Alexandria expressed a philosophy unlike any other trainer. Her knowledge and calmness is inspirational for dog and owner.”
“When we rescued our dog I was genuinely afraid of him. Alexandria was a calming presence and changed my life.”
“I worked with them virtually and saw night-and-day changes with my reactive rescue. Incredibly grateful for the ongoing support.”

Questions, answered
We use owner education, food, play, and clear boundaries to teach your dog when and where certain energy or behavior belongs — true, organic behavior change, not just obedience commands.
