Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

I.B. K9 offers several training programs:
nn**One-on-One Private Lessons Program:** This program involves learning together with your dog in private sessions, covering basic obedience to behavior modification. It aims to improve communication and strengthen the bond, with programs structured level by level for continuous progress.
nn**Board & Train Program:** This is a four-week intensive program where the dog lives at the facility, receiving daily interactions with trainers and staff. It focuses on laying a training foundation and addressing unwanted behaviors. The facility is staffed 24/7. The program includes follow-up sessions, lifetime maintenance training, group classes, and training equipment (like a place bed) to take home.
nn**Reactive Dog Program:** Designed for dogs reactive to other dogs, people, or the environment. This program uses obedience and behavior modification to help dogs and owners communicate better, build confidence, and properly handle reactive situations.
nn**Puppy Head Start Program:** Offers multiple options including group classes for basic puppy skills, one-on-one sessions tailored to the puppy’s pace (with included group classes afterward), and a Puppy Head Start Hybrid program. The Hybrid program involves the puppy staying at the facility for three days and then going home for four days, for five consecutive weeks, with mini-lessons and homework for owners. It includes one-on-one time, neutrality training around other dogs, agility equipment exposure, and group puppy classes.
nn**Group Dog Training Classes:** These classes allow dogs and owners to learn new skills and practice them around other dogs and people. They are designed to improve communication and bonding, with classes structured to move up level by level.

Testimonials

“Came Home With More Confidence And A Much Better Listener… I was connected with I.B. K9 originally because a dog I was fostering was extremely leash reactive. Jason was so great to work with and has continued to work with him even after he was adopted! Then after finding out we were expecting our first baby, we wanted to get some formal training for our dog, Harlow. Harlow completed their two week board and train with Julie and came home with more confidence and is just an overall better listener. She’s much better with impulse control and I am confident that she will do great with proper boundaries around the new baby! We can’t wait to continue working with them!”
– Lindsey Delagarza

“A Great Dog Trainer To Work With… Jason has been a great dog trainer to work with. Since my puppy, Blitz, has been catching on to some things quickly, Jason has given me additional things to work. He has great tips and tricks to get the results! I am very glad that I found Jason and look forward to continuing other training classes beyond puppy training!”
– Rachel Dal Monte

“Always Made Sure Our Dogs Were Having Fun… Their team of dog trainers are all so helpful, especially Julie & Hannah who always made sure our dogs were having fun, while remaining obedient. Kristen was always so helpful and kind with setting up all of our scheduling for sessions and helping out the trainers if they needed an extra hand. We’re so happy this facility encourages continuing training, by them hosting monthly group pack walks. This is such a great way to stay active in our training, keeping up with all the hard work these trainers help us instill in our dogs. I’m excited to go about my every day life now with a much more confident dog that understands the world isn’t out to get him and that seeing dogs can be a positive association now. Thank you IBK9 team!”
