No Pulling 
Each class is restricted to a maximum of eight students to ensure plenty of one on one time with the instructor.
This is the LEASH class that WORKS! Your dog will learn about self restraint, space, and pressure. What's that? This is teaching your dog in short intervals and then allowing them time to process the information. Teaching them where your space is. It's time to use the eye contact that we learned about in K9 Preschool, and the touch that we learned about in K9 Elementary . Then we add pressure so you end up with a dog that walks beside you watching your every move. It's time to enjoy your walks! Your dog learns to wait, watch, and manage his time.
Next Class: see schedule below
Module is 2 hours @ 6:45pm on a weekday evening
Cost: $89.00 + HST

Reactive Dog Module 
This class has been designed for people with reactive dogs. Your dog may display signs of aggression towards other dogs - barking and lunging. This may be on or off leash, behind barriers (fences - in the car).
In fact this may be an over reactive dog - over reacting to situations because of excess stimulation or a multitude of reasons. No matter why, let's just fix it and get control of the situation. We will go over various tools and training techniques then apply the methods best suited for you and your dog. It's the start of a better adjusted dog.
This workshop will focus on over reaction towards dogs NOT people.
Cost: $99.00 + HST

K9 Agility Information Session
This is a complimentary (no charge) information session. The session is usually held in the evening for about 1 hour.
Designed to inform you about the sport of Agility. You will learn the history of Agility, health requirements, equipment needed, and what you can expect of the sport & our training sessions.
Generally this is not a sport where you can take a couple of lessons and have your dog run all over the equipment. It requires a great deal of handler training. Dogs catch on very quick if we give them the right cues. We teach you how to give the right information to the dogs so they can traverse the course quickly and safely.
Our training is ongoing. Meaning you start in the spring and go through till the fall. From there you can join a club (our training gives you the prerequisite training to join) and carry on through the winter months.
.K9 Agility Foundations 1&2
 Prerequisite - free information session
Get started in this great dog sport!
This sport builds a confident dog. The role of handler becomes clear as your bond develops.
What are the foundations? First and foremost, teaching about safety for your dog, sports injuries can be avoided by teaching your dog how to jump safely.
Second, what tools do you use, what tools are best for your dog? Clickers, treats, and toys can all be used, together or individually. Find what tools work to motivate your dog in different situations.
Third, learning the steps to show your dog where to go without having to be there. Training a dog to go over jumps is just the start to this fantastic sport.
Classes are held outdoors in Metchosin.
K9HQ is currently looking for a barn on the Westshore to hold classes & practice sessions during the winter months - can you help?
Cost: $129.00 + HST
K9 Agility Starters
Prerequisite: K9 Agility Foundations 1&2
This class is designed to build on what we learned in foundations
Learning more about distance handling, using the go, left, and right commands, obstacle discrimination. Teaching a solid weave and building speed.
Sounds like gobbly gook. It's all fun because now we get to put the foundations to practice on the equipment like the teeter-totter, and tunnel.
