Your dog actually listens to you
Instead of ignoring you, your dog actually responds!
Imagine what life with
your dog could look like...
Decide that today is the day things change. Decide you're ready. That's the hardest part, and you're already here!
You can do more with your best friend
You can confidently bring your dog out into public places and take them on more adventures!
You can feel proud of your dog
Imagine someone admiring and complimenting your dog's behavior instead of giving the side eye
Does this sound familiar?
We work with people having issues like these every single day:
My dog takes off
And I'm terrified they'll get hit by a car
My dog pulls so hard on walks
I'm worried I, my dog, or someone else will get hurt
My dog has no manners
Which has me dread or fear people coming over
Other trainers didn't help
and I really don't know what else to do
He's so stressed and anxious
I don't know if I am giving him the life he needs
I'm always correcting my dog
and it's taking the joy out of dog ownership altogether
We Understand...
...And we believe you deserve better.
"Ive been through many trainers over the years, as I'm 74 years young with many many dogs in my time, and Chivon with C3 K9 Solutions is, without a doubt, the best trainer I've worked with."

Chivon Winter
With nearly two decades of hands-on experience, Chivon specializes in helping dogs and their owners truly understand each other. She’s worked with hundreds of families and thousands of dogs across the country, guiding them through everything from everyday struggles to more complex behavioral challenges—with a balance of empathy, clarity, and real-world results.
Beyond dog training, Chivon is also the owner of a local martial arts school, The Construct, where she lives out the values of respect, integrity, and accountability every day. These same values are what you can expect to feel in every interaction.
As a U.S. Navy veteran, she brings discipline, consistency, and follow-through to her work. Now back in her hometown of Syracuse, her focus is simple: helping her community build stronger, more enjoyable relationships with their dogs

Our promises to you
We will love and respect your dog as much as you do
You'll see with our interactions that we genuinely and sincerely love your dog as if he/she were our own.
We won't talk down to you
You're not failing as a dog owner, and no we don't belittle your efforts...you just haven't been given the right strategies and guidance yet. That starts with us!
We will help teach you, not just your dog.
We jokingly say we play a fine line between Dr. Doolittle and Dr. Phil depending on which end of the leash we're working with.
"I would highly recommend Chivon and C3K9 to anybody that's looking for help with their dog. She went above and beyond our expectations. Walking our dog is a dream now, and he's so much calmer!"
