We give families the inspiration and tools they need to raise the dogs of their dreams. Whether raising a puppy, bringing in a newly adopted dog, raising a working, service or competition dog, or modifying serious behaviors, effective and lasting dog training begins with feeling inspired and empowered.
Mahogany has worked with dogs for more than 15 years, formerly owning one of the largest dog walking companies in the East Bay. She has handled and trained thousands of dogs of all breeds and addressing every behavior issue known. She studied and worked for 10 years under two mentors with a cumulative experience of more than 50 years. Mahogany teaches other trainers, does seminars across the U.S. and Canada, coaches trainers abroad, and holds enrichment classes for families in the Bay Area. She has run a dog sports club for 10 years and has trained her own dogs and others’ to world championship competition level. There are few trainers with Mahogany’s level of education and experience. She has a deep love for dogs and the experience to help them reach their full potential. Her team includes her dogs Remy, Lexie, Stazja, and Maddox, and she can’t imagine living the life of helping dogs without them.
Our Specialties
At Infinite K9, we stick with our specialties so that we can provide families with the best service and outcomes possible. Our specialties include: working breeds, reactivity, off-leash training, puppy raising, young and adolescent dog behavioral issues, and socialization. We are also the go to trainers for families who want dogs who they can do anything with and take anywhere.
Our clients are people who believe in their dog’s potential and are determined to see that potential emerge. Most clients live in the Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, and Contra Costa county. Clients have also sent their dogs from across the U.S. for extended training visits.
Our Philosophy
We coined the term Integrated Dog Training to describe our training philosophy. We are primarily reward based trainers, and reward is used to teach and clarify behaviors. Once dogs have a thorough understanding of what is expected, we advocate for the fair and thoughtful use of pressure to strengthen behaviors. That said, every dog is looked at as an individual and we don’t use cookie-cutter approach to every program.
We offer services for pet dog owners, sport dog enthusiasts, and trainers alike. Our programs are personally tailored to each family’s needs, and training is done in a multitude of environments to give the dogs a well-rounded education.
We provide pet dog training for puppies and dogs of any age. We can teach owners how to engage and train their own dog, or dogs can spend some time living with us in a home environment to work on socialization, basic manners, basic obedience or advanced obedience. In these programs we can also address nuisance behaviors.
Our sport dog training programs are focused on ringsports. We meet in a private or club environment and help handlers reach their goals and dogs reach their potential.
Our programs for trainers include private instruction, shadow programs, and online courses for both new and experienced trainers. We can also do shadow programs at dog training facilities.
This program is for puppies or dogs that are reactive or aggressive and need more intensive training. We can help families whose dogs are terrors on leash, who have exhibited aggression toward other animals or people, and even dogs with bite histories. We have had incredible success with our behavior modification programs.
Our service dog training program is extremely limited and proven. We complete public access training, task training, and flight and travel training tailored to your needs. If inquiring about this program, please tell us first whether you are looking for a dog or have a dog in mind and where you acquired the dog. A service dog’s temperament is absolutely critical, and acceptance into our service dog program is contingent upon the right temperament.
