Dog Training Programs

Real behaviour change.

If you're serious about changing your dog's behaviour for the better, you're in the right spot.

About Our Programs

These aren't character flaws. They're communication gaps. And they're fixable.

You love your dog. You're just tired of the walk being a workout, the doorbell being an event, and the crate being a crisis.

At iTK9, we build a dog training program around your dog and your life. Not a generic checklist. Not a six-week class where you learn to say "sit" louder. A real, structured plan that changes how your dog thinks, decides, and responds at home, on the street, and everywhere in between.

Everything we do is built around one goal: what your dog learns with us has to work when we're not there.

Leash reactivity

The walk shouldn't be a workout.

Separation anxiety

The crate shouldn't be a crisis.

Barking & door chaos

The doorbell shouldn't be an event.

All of it is fixable

With a structured plan built around your dog.

Why Our Approach Works

Most training fails for one of two reasons. We solve both.

The dog never fully understands what's being asked, or the owner never fully learns how to hold the standard.

01

We train the dog end the human

Every program includes owner coaching. No exceptions.

02

Balanced, clear communication

Dogs thrive on clarity. Predictability is where confidence comes from.

03

Structure before obedience

A dog who can't settle can't learn. Relationship and calm first, then commands.

04

Real-world proofing

Sidewalks, patios, elevators, parks, chaos. If it only works in a quiet room, it doesn't work.

05

Transfer is the whole point

A trained dog, and the skills to keep them that way.

Our Dog Training Programs

Four programs. Four different starting points.

Each built for a different dog, a different owner, and a different life.

Most Complete

Board & Train · On + Off Leash

Family Dog Operating System™

For the dog who's part of the family but hasn't gotten the memo about how the household runs, including anxious, nervous, or overexcited dogs who need structure to feel secure. We install a complete "operating system" of rules, expectations, and communication that everyone in the family can run.

  • Total obedience, on & off leash
  • Confidence for anxious dogs
  • Door manners & calm greetings
  • Loose-leash walking
  • Crate comfort & settling
  • Family-wide coaching

Best for: multi-person households, families with kids, anxious or unsettled dogs, and anyone who wants their dog to be welcome anywhere.

3-Week Board & Train · Behaviour Modification

The Great Reset™

For the dog with a real problem, and the owner who's tried everything else. Your dog stays with us in a structured, controlled environment where we work daily, without the household triggers that keep reinforcing the pattern. Then we rebuild: slowly, deliberately, from the ground up.

  • Full on-leash obedience: door manners, walking, crate, and settling
  • Behaviour modification for reactivity, aggression, and fear
  • Trigger exposure work that rebuilds real-world responses
  • Owner handover coaching so results survive the trip home

Best for: reactive or aggressive dogs, anxious or fearful dogs, rescues with baggage, and owners who need serious intervention, not another obedience class.

Want the deepest transformation? The Family Dog Operating System™ includes everything here plus a fourth week and full off-leash training, one of the most powerful confidence-builders for fearful dogs.

Puppy Foundations

Puppy Blueprint™

For puppies, and the people who'd rather prevent problems than fix them. The first several months are the highest-leverage window you'll ever have. What happens now decides who your dog becomes.

  • Crate & house training
  • Bite inhibition & impulse control
  • Structured socialization
  • Foundation obedience
  • Handling & vet-visit tolerance
  • Confidence in new environments

Best for: puppies 8 weeks to 5 months. Start early. You'll never get this window back.

By Application Only

Executive Black™

Our flagship, the most exclusive engagement we offer. Fully managed, white-glove, year-round. A dog who fits seamlessly into your life: your travel, your properties, your office, your family. You never schedule the training, chase the progress, or think about it at all.

Every engagement is built privately around one client's lifestyle. Spots are strictly limited. Full program details are shared upon application.
