Best-K9 Dog Training Services

Vykor and I have been working hard in the background with our obedience, training, advanced learning theory & skill development from taking the Ultimate Control university - to one on one coaching with head trainer, Nino & professor Marc of STS K9 - Nino Drowaert. So far, this is truly an amazing journey and it's wonderful how your bond can be further enhanced with your dog following a program. I truly believe in trainers continuing their training so they can give their very... best to their clients! Hope you enjoy! Feel free to share! <3 -Becky

OFF LEASH TRAINING... check this out! Like Share Come when called in distraction, Huskies & Hounds included ... We start all of our training on leash and one on one as we build to challenging environments. Awesome work by our clients to achieve this level of training for the safety and freedom of their animals! All dogs previously wouldn't come when called, especially in the company of other dogs and people. All of the dogs had their own set of challenges from high reactivity, dog aggression, over friendly nature, jumping on people, etc... Now that they are trained, they are all having so much fun in our hiking adventure classes! Reliable Off Leash Course Available! More info: [email protected] or DM

OVER FRIENDLY, DOGS THAT JUMP, ANXIOUSNESS.. Share me... Over excited, friendly dogs can become anxious dogs. Just because your dog is friendly doesn't mean that you shouldn't train them at times you need them to be calm. One of the biggest behaviours that I get called about and in for is over excitement during door greetings. This is where it can take some time and practice to achieve not only the behaviour, but the state of mind you would like to see with your dog....Continue reading

COME WHEN CALLED... Hounds edition! Reliable Recall Training for these two hounds who are just beginning their training. We will share updates over the next few weeks as we transition to off leash training!! Can't wait to see these pups free & off leash!

BK9 Client Highlight: Rescued Bully! Read her story. Laylah is a pure bred American Bulldog who is a rescue. She was dumped at an apartment building overnight by a backyard breeder, who used her for breeding until she couldn’t be used anymore. A woman noticed her and called a local rescue group (he is also an RCMP officer) they picked her up and took her to the Fredericton SPCA. She was very sick and very sore. Fast forward with her current owners! They enrolled in BK9 Tr...aining, customized program to ensure that she started her new life on the right foot. BK9 is experienced in working with difficult and extreme cases, rescued dogs and dog’s needing behaviour modification. Since Laylah lacked a normal environment, she had trust issues with people and was under socialized. This left her a bit nervous and reactive over new situations and people, taking her a bit to open up. Walking her through this with leadership and structure in place, is leaving Laylah to gain confidence and is willing to try new things. Her training isn’t complete yet, we have another chapter that is about to begin. Stay tuned for more updates with Laylah!

What you see is just the surface! It took a while to train Vykor for this to be possible. He has drives with higher levels of intensity, which is what makes me love this breed. When it comes to training for certain environments, because of these intensities - it can take a longer road to accomplish particular tasks. As a handler, I have to be very flexible, aware, perceptive and adjustable at any given moment. You're talking a horse with her own mind set and a dog that can... be quick to react if something doesn't seem right. I'm so glad this is possible. Hard work will always give you success! Pm us for customized training packages, recall training or behavior modification. #bestk9 #belgianmalinois #aqha

Your Dog is Not a Baby! Todays culture is absolutely ruining dogs and as behaviourists we are seeing more and more preventable problems appearing not only at ou...r facilities but in the public domain too! People are treating their dogs like children, and no matter how much you say it, or what you believe, they are not children. They are dogs... An apex predator with forty two teeth in their head and a bite pressure that can break bones. They deserve treating like dogs! Somehow treating your dog like a dog has become a taboo subject and its because of the warped, snowflake generation that's flooding the industry. Can't say no to a dog. Can't go in cold weather with a dog. Can't let a dog get muddy. Can't give a dog a job. Can't feed a dog raw meat. If your dog is in shape its too skinny. We are walking around in a world where giving your dog a job is cruel beyond belief but having a dog 30kg overweight with diabetes falling out of its ears is absolutely fine. It's warped and twisted and wrong. They are dogs! Treat them as dogs. You cannot take any pristine animal on this earth and pretend that it's a baby. Oh hello, this is my whale, he is my baby. It doesn't work like that, and if you respect the dog, it doesn't work with them either. We have to push back on this snowflake mentality because it is literally killing dogs. Dogs are dying every day purely because nobody told them what rules they were supposed to follow or because they weren't given a job they so desperately wanted. Let's start honouring our dogs for the absolutely amazing creatures they are. Dogs are magnificent, majestic, intelligent, robust. For me, they are the best animal on the planet so let's stop killing them and treat them for exactly what they are. Honour your dog.
