Why Choose 101 K9?

 

Real-life settings for real results.

While enrolling your pup in a group class alongside other dogs offers valuable exposure to basic obedience and general social skills, it's not uncommon to find that these lessons don't always translate seamlessly into your home environment. However, by opting for training sessions conducted in the familiar surroundings of your pup's daily life, you can anticipate advancements in your beloved companion's behavior and abilities.

Educating both worlds.

The effectiveness of successful dog training lies not in the tools, treats, toys, or collar variants you use. Your dog, no matter the age or level of training, is counting on you for composed and clear communication. Our training places equal emphasis on honing the skills of dog owners and their canine companions. Each training session is tailored to suit your dog and family dynamics, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Behavior modification and adjustment.

Assisting dogs exhibiting reactivity towards other dogs or people, possessive tendencies over food, toys, and spaces (resource guarding), separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, incessant barking, and other undesirable behaviors. In many instances, a foundation of basic obedience falls short; however, with a blend of patience and empathy, these challenges can be resolved collaboratively.

Effective and custom methods.

I am a strong proponent of positive reinforcement and clicker training methodologies, while also integrating other well-established techniques and tools. Success in dog training hinges on a harmonious blend of balance, clear communication, a healthy bond between owner and dog, and fostering a secure home environment. Given the intricate nature of the canine psyche, it is imperative to assess each dog on an individual basis to determine the most fitting training approach - training the dog in front of you. This ensures that the training regimen is meticulously tailored or adjusted to accommodate your dog's advancement and specific requirements.
