How Should Your Dog Be Socializing?

Socializing is interacting or playing with other dogs. WRONG.

Socializing is actually having your dog calm and relaxed around other dogs without the need to interact or display any type of negative behaviour.

It is also when your dog can listen to your every command in a variety of different environments with a variety of different distractions.

The iTrainK9 one month board & train obedience program focuses on teaching your dog to remain calm in various environments and work on their issues.

Your dog will learn to be recalled reliably, sit, stay, down, drop it, car & crate manners, indoor off-leash, environmental exposure and more.

We address multiple behavioural issues including leash pulling, doorbell reactivity, jumping, excessive or demanding barking, etc.

Dealing with a dog that exhibits behavioural issues can be incredibly frustrating. You might have a dog that listens perfectly to commands during training sessions but still shows signs of aggression, anxiety, or other troubling behaviours at home. It’s important to understand that obedience and behavioural issues are not the same, and addressing one does not necessarily solve the other.
