Transform
Your Dog’s
Behavior Today

Two paths. One philosophy. Clear structure at every level.

ReviveK9 provides professional service dog training rooted in behavior science and real-world application. We also work with dog trainers nationwide as a business consulting and systems partner, helping training companies grow with structure, data, and automation through our partnership with Revive Connects.

Service Dog Training Programs

Our service dog training programs are designed for individuals who need reliable, task-trained dogs that can perform in everyday environments. We prioritize ethical training standards, clear timelines, and honest expectations so clients understand what service dog training truly involves.

How It Works:

Step 1: Application and Screening

We begin with a detailed application to assess handler needs, lifestyle, and dog suitability. Not every dog or situation qualifies, and we believe transparency protects everyone involved.

Step 2: Structured Training Phases

Training progresses through foundation skills, task development, public access preparation, and handler transfer. Each phase is measured, documented, and adjusted based on performance and readiness.

Step 3: Real Life Integration

Service dogs must function beyond controlled environments. We focus on reliability in public spaces, daily routines, and real-world distractions so teams leave prepared, not rehearsed.

"Ruger the Malinois – A Dramatic Transformation"

Coreena is amazing. She took our 8-month-old Belgian Malinois and 'magic wanded' him. It's been 2 years now, and he just loves her. Highly recommend her.

"Willow the GSP – Gaining Control and Obedience"

Cannot say enough great things about ReviveK9 and Catey! They have been amazing to work with. I had a crazy schedule and then a foot injury, and Catey always accommodated me. This was our FIRST experience ever with a dog trainer, and I was nervous. I thought it would be more like 'you need to do this and do that,' but it was far from it! Catey took control and demonstrated exactly how to work with our dog. We went to real-world places with distractions, not just an empty yard. Our wild GSP was jumping on people and running without obeying recall. Since our training, she will now place and hold until I release her; she comes when called and understands commands to not jump up on people. I have had the best experience with this group. We have enjoyed group meet-ups with other ReviveK9 members. When they say you are part of this family for life, they mean it!

"Cooper the Beagle/Brittany Spaniel – From Skittish to Confident"

Catey has been a true GODSEND for my dog Cooper and me! They helped transform Cooper by customizing a training plan that meets his unique needs, not only during training but even with his dog sitters and when he had to stay overnight at All Dogs Inn, where Jacob, Catey, Maria, and crew took extra special care of him. Every single person has been amazed at Cooper’s transformation from a skittish, sometimes irritable, super attached-to-mommy little boy, to a sweet, loving, cuddly, fun-loving, and confident baby!! I LOVE ReviveK9 and recommend them to ANYONE!

"Positive Reinforcement – A Family Affair"

We love ReviveK9 and their trainers. Everything they put into their work shows the love and respect for the company and families they come across. Many are word of mouth, as I’ve had so many friends who I go to recommend, and they’ve already started their training! Catey did Homeschool training with our oldest, and we’re planning to schedule something with our newest addition. Their approach is positivity and reward-reinforced and works. I researched and was concerned with how other ways of teaching may work for us long term. I’m so glad that we went with them and would do it again! Everyone we meet up with is like family. The meetups after graduation are just as important as the training itself—it’s a never-ending process. It’s priceless what you get going with our new family at ReviveK9. I love Catey so much!

"Bernedoodle – Building Trust and Confidence"

ReviveK9 Dog Training is the BEST!!!! Do you have a new puppy, a rescue, a dog with some behavior issues, or need help with socializing or your faithful friend obeying commands, or do you simply want a better relationship with your dog(s)? Look no further—I could not be happier with the team! We adopted a 100-pound Bernedoodle, and not only was he HUGE and weighed almost as much as me, but he had never been around others and reacted in a not-so-nice manner. Plus, I felt uncertain about trusting him in different situations! I was able to train with my dog and Coreena and Catey, and I am so grateful for their expertise! In fact, we still do group meetups and pack walks—it’s training for life!!!! You owe it to yourself, your family, and your dog!

"Fwipper the Dog – Getting Back on Track"

Catey Cuesta with ReviveK9 did a wonderful job with my boy Fwipper as well as myself. She is very thorough with the training and explanations that make it easy to understand that it’s a course not just for him, but me as well. I recently asked for a refresher day, and Catey Cuesta wasted no time setting it up! Fwipper got back into his routine very quickly, and Catey helped me polish up a few things I should do for him! I could not be happier with how well everything has gone for Fwipper and how ReviveK9 and Catey Cuesta treat him and help at any time to stay on task with our journey!

"Wednesday the German Shepherd – Addressing Reactivity"

Had a great experience with Catey helping address some reactivity issues and other things with my rotten GSD, Wednesday. She is super knowledgeable and amazing to work with. I needed the training just as much as my pup! I highly recommend them and can’t wait to take Wednesday on some of the pack walks 🐾

"Two Pups – From Challenges to Companions"

Maria and Catey have made living at home with my two dogs SO MUCH better. Both pups went through their program and have become wonderful companions. Anytime I have an issue crop up, they make time to meet with me and work through it. My second dog did so well he’s now competing in AKC sports. When he started, he could not be walked on a leash. They have monthly events for all the graduates, like pack walks or group sessions—even a lure chasing course one time. They take recommendations for things to do as well. They are so involved and have been such an invaluable resource for my pups. Could not recommend ReviveK9 enough!

"Rescued Pit Bull – Gaining Confidence and Control"

We love everything about ReviveK9! Raina T has been working with my rescued pit bull for about a year now, and she’s worked miracles with her. Their training methods are gentle, effective, and fun for both my pup and me. She gets so excited every time she sees her trainer and it’s time to get to work. I learn as much as she does every session, and I’m so glad I now have the confidence as her handler to have her around my 2 young babies and take her anywhere with me. 10/10 recommend Revive and all of its trainers—especially Raina!

"Tator the Reactive Dog – From Fear to Confidence"

I wanted to stop by and express just how much I appreciate the ReviveK9 team and especially Catey! My dog, Tator, was very reactive to the point that I was afraid of going on walks and having people over, always scared he was going to bite someone. Catey came in and worked her magic on Tator! She never made me feel guilty and was always patient. I have an odd work schedule, but she was flexible and understanding. Little by little, meeting once or twice a week, Tator kept improving. He is now the good child when we go on walks! We will be calling ReviveK9 again for basic training with our other dog, Charlie. Thank you again for all you did!

"Rescue Dog with a Tough Past – A Transformation Story"

He was used as a bait dog and had 2 broken back legs. Once we decided to adopt him, I knew we needed to invest in an actual trainer. He was too big not to walk well on a leash and not behave in public or when someone came over. We chose to homeschool our pup with Maria, and that was amazing. She would pick him up and take him on field trips, work with him in the yard, and at the end, we had sessions to learn how to execute the commands he was taught. We attend the monthly group sessions that are offered to brush up on skills (major bonus), and just finished a supplemental off-leash training with Catey, which was amazing! I had a work event last week and brought my dog with me (it was dog-friendly), and everyone there, including staff, commented on how well-behaved he was. Catey and Maria are both incredibly skilled and dedicated to the dogs they work with. You still need to put in the work, too, with daily practice sessions. But, they’re the real deal.

"Maverick the Australian Shepherd/Lab Mix – Overcoming Reactivity and Thriving"

Catey helped me learn how to handle my excited, high-energy, reactive Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, Maverick. We started with Catey when Mav was 6 months old after trying and failing with another local company. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for Catey and Maria for helping me learn the best ways to work with my dog. Maverick went from not being able to be near a dog park or water without being very reactive, to now, at a year and a half, going to restaurants with me. Catey was always available for my many frantic dog owner questions and is incredibly knowledgeable. We even did off-leash sessions with Catey to refine Maverick’s skills around triggers. Without ReviveK9, I wouldn’t be able to do a road trip across the US with my dog. I would recommend them to ANYONE!

"ReviveK9 Transformed My Anxious Schnauzer into a Calm, Confident Dog"

Audrey, my 4-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, had severe public anxiety and barking issues—so much so that she would foam at the mouth and have nonstop diarrhea from stress. But after training with Coreena at ReviveK9, Audrey is a completely different dog. She now walks calmly in public, even off-leash, and enjoys life without anxiety. The transformation was so incredible that 2.5 years later, she’s still calm and well-behaved. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs—Coreena is truly amazing and worth every second.

"ReviveK9 Helped Us Reclaim Our Joy with Our Doberman"

Before training, our Doberman Teva was a 100-pound wrecking ball—hyper, overpowering, and impossible to walk on a leash. She would even knock us over, leaving us bruised and scratched. But thanks to ReviveK9, Teva is now calm and well-behaved. We can sit outside and enjoy the rain together, often without even needing a leash. The transformation has been incredible, and we’re so grateful to finally be able to enjoy and love Teva the way she deserves.

"ReviveK9 Gave My Doberman Purpose and Saved Our Family"

Luke, my 2-year-old Doberman, was a handful—constantly crying, barking, and being destructive. My husband was ready to give him up, and I was overwhelmed. But then I found Coreena at ReviveK9. She quickly identified that Luke needed purpose and mental stimulation. With her guidance, Luke transformed into a well-behaved, focused dog. Now, I can relax at home, and Luke has become the pride and joy of our family. ReviveK9 didn’t just train Luke; they saved our family.

"ReviveK9 Gave Me the Confidence to Handle My Reactive Dog"

Bindi, my Australian Shepherd, used to be extremely reactive, barking and lunging at everything and everyone. For 5 years, we avoided walks and social situations because I didn't know how to control her behavior. But after working with Catey and the ReviveK9 team, Bindi is like a new dog. She's learned to stay calm with commands like 'place' and 'heel,' and I’ve gained the skills to manage her in any situation. Now, I can finally enjoy walks and have guests over without stress. ReviveK9 was the best decision I ever made for Bindi.
