Socialization can help with aggressive behaviour and help prepare your dog for new meetings. At ITK9 we train your dog in multiple settings, with different exposures, for the best training experience. If you're serious about changing your dogs lifestyle for the better, you're in the right spot.
Our training is completely individualized and designed to shape your pet into a happy, obedient and well balanced family companion. We will teach you how to continue training, encourage calm and relaxed behavior, and how to maintain a healthy relationship with your pet.
Every dog that goes through one of our programs is trained in different environments. This helps ensure that behaviour is properly established instead of just seen as a way to behave when with us. Depending on the length of program you choose, expect a minimum of 7 field trips (up to 21) for your dog to learn proper behaviour across different environments. Further, as part of our board & train programs, your dog will be socialized with other dogs - an especially important aspect when considering socialization skills.

Obedience Training Success Stories
Training Done Right
At ITK9 we pride ourselves on our past client success stories and love our community. Every story is different and requires its own approach.
I would like to send a Big thank you to Jason and Megan. They helped shape Picco and Stripe into dogs that people want to be around.
Tracey M from Milton
Jason is a God !! We truly could not be happier about training with him , our 2.5 year old Shepard has shown major improvement since starting with him only 2 weeks ago. We cannot thank Jason enough for showing us how to understand our pup and all around have a better and stronger relationship with him. We look forward to continuing training with Jason!
