K9S College I

Our K9S College program was designed for the unruly adolescent dogs to the dogs that just need a reminder of what the basics are. This program combines basic foundation behaviours with a twist to help reach your goals for your dog, that you always dreamed of. K9S College focuses on positive generalization to combat fears & phobias, teaching basic cues to both ends of the leash - one end how to teach and the other what they are, walking manners that will shock the last person they pulled you to, working through some of the pesky dog behaviours like jumping/counter surfing and much more.

If you - the owner that has an unruly adolescent, new rescue dog or a dog that needs a brush up on the basics:

  • Doesn’t have time to work through fears

  • Needs help keeping on top of training

  • Has a grown dog that still acts like a crazy puppy

  • Has a very busy schedule

  • or simply just wants their dog/new dog to be really good

Then our K9S College program is the right one for you!
