Unleash Your Dog's Potential with Katy's K9's!

Welcome! If you're here, you probably share our deep love for dogs and understand the incredible bond we share with them. At Katy's K9's, we're passionate about helping you & your furry companion build an even stronger connection through effective and enjoyable training.

We believe that every dog, regardless of breed, age, or background, has the capacity to learn & thrive. Our approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, understanding canine behaviour, and tailoring our methods to suit the unique personality & needs of your dog. We're not about rigid rules & harsh corrections - instead, we focus on clear communication, building trust & fostering a happy & willing learner.

Comprehensive Training for

Every Dog & Every Goal

Whether you've just welcomed a new puppy into your home, are navigating some challenging behaviours with an adolescent or adult dog, or dream of achieving specific skills, we've got you covered. Our diverse range of training programs is designed to address all your dog training needs:

For the New Arrivals:

Puppy Training

* Puppy Foundations: Setting your puppy up for success starts early! Our puppy classes & in-home sessions focus on essential life skills such as:

* Socialisation: Safe & positive exposure to various sights, sounds, people & other dogs is crucial for a well-adjusted adult dog.

* Basic Manners: Laying the groundwork for polite behaviour with cues like sit, stay, come & down.

* Potty Training & Crate Training: Gentle and effective strategies for establishing good habits.

* Preventing Problem Behaviors: Addressing common puppy issues like nipping, chewing & jumping early on.

Building Essential Skills:

Basic & Intermediate Obedience

🐾 Life Skills I & II: These courses build upon the foundations, refining basic cues & introducing new, practical commands. We focus on:

🐾 Leash Manners: Achieving a relaxed & enjoyable walk, free from pulling.

🐾 Recall Reliability: Ensuring your dog comes back when called, even with distractions.

🐾 Stay & Wait: Developing patience & self-control.

🐾 Leave It & Drop It: Essential for safety and preventing unwanted scavenging.

* Fear and Anxiety: Building confidence & coping mechanisms through positive reinforcement & desensitization techniques.

Our Training Philosophy: Positive, Personalized, and Practical

At Katy's K9's, we believe in:

* Rewarding desired behaviours with treats, praise, toys & affection to motivate your dog & create a positive learning experience.

* Individualised Approach: Recognising that every dog learns differently, we tailor our training methods to your dog's specific temperament, learning style & your family's lifestyle.

* Clear Communication: We'll not only teach your dog, we'll also empower you with the knowledge & skills to understand your dog's behaviour & continue their training journey.

* Creating a Strong Bond: Our training goes beyond just commands; it's about fostering a deeper understanding & connection between you & your dog based on trust and mutual respect.

* A Relaxed & Supportive Environment: We strive to create a comfortable & encouraging atmosphere for both you & your dog, making the learning process enjoyable & stress-free.
