Basic Obedience Program

Eliminate Frustration. Unlock Focus. Transform Walks.

Is your dog pulling on leash, ignoring commands, or lacking impulse control? The Basic Obedience Program at iTrainK9 is designed for dogs aged 5 months and older who need structured training to become calm, obedient, and attentive—both at home and in public.

This is more than just obedience. It’s about creating a respectful, responsive dog that listens the first time, every time.

 Ideal for dogs 5+ months old who are ready for structure and transformation.

What Your Dog Will Learn

Our program builds strong handler engagement, develops obedience under distractions, and creates calm, structured habits that last

  • Reliable On-Leash Obedience – Clear communication, consistent behaviour, and follow-through
  • Loose Leash Walking & Heel Work – End pulling, lagging, and leash tension
  • Impulse Control & Calm State of Mind – Teach your dog to wait patiently in real-world scenarios
  • Sit, Down, Place, Recall – Build functional commands with purpose and reliability
  • Public Training Exposure – Improve behaviour around distractions like people, dogs, and vehicles

Each dog receives a customized training plan, guided by our team of professionals who specialize in real-world obedience and behaviour transformation.

What Dog Owners Are Saying

We made the great decision to send our two dogs to iTrainK9. Walks were a nightmare before—pulling, barking, reactivity. Now we can enjoy peaceful outings. They also provide follow-up sessions and support materials. Highly recommend!

 — Bryna Orlando​

Suzy used to be so reactive and anxious. Now we can walk her confidently thanks to iTrainK9. The training worked wonders.

 — Alex Nen​

Our Bully Bolt came back from training a different dog—calm, obedient, walks perfectly. Best decision we made.
