Project K9
Compassionate Dog Training
Humane - Professional - Certified- Educated
Project K9 dog training offers in person, one on one training sessions in Fernie BC
and virtual training sessions for Puppy Prep and Separation Anxiety to anyone in North America. Project K9 is proud to offer a professional, certified and educated approach to dog training to the Elk Valley. My ethos focuses on education and I believe that approaching the training process as an opportunity to bond with your dog makes the experience enjoyable, fun and promotes success.
I approach training empathetically, as I have been in your shoes…
11 years ago my adolescent dog began showing signs of anxiety and reactivity. At the time the only assistance I could find was an aversive style trainer. Initially there were results but we ended up having a behavioural fallout in the form of worsening aggression and anxiety. This led to me working with a certified trainer using only positive reinforcement techniques and creating a much better relationship with my dog. This experience gave me a passion for learning about animal behaviour and training, and I haven’t looked back.
