Dog Training Programs

Here at Courage K9 we do not believe in a one size fits all training program.   Every dog learns at a different pace and not all dogs learn the same.   We believe in connection & the relationship is the foundation piece that then is built from in our training programs.  The focus then turns to building knowledge first; the knowledge must be there before the understanding develops.   As the dog progresses into the understanding & comprehension stages of training it is important to work on generalizing the skills to new environments.   An often missed aspect of training is the generalization of skills.  Dogs are geographical learners and we must remember to help them build their confidence and understanding in new locations as well.

​

Our current program offerings are listed below.  

​

Coming to Edmonton, AB in spring 2024 are our group training programs - stay tuned!

Scent Training

Workshops

Scent Training is great for mental stimulation for your dogs!  It is also a lot of fun!  Whether your are looking to learn scent work for fun at home, medical alerts, shed hunting, detection work, or any of the many other jobs dogs can have we can get your started.

​

We offer workshops onsite & offsite.  Contact us if you are interested in a workshop at your facility.

Protection

In House Only

Protection dogs are not dogs that randomly attack everything that comes into their path.   A properly trained protection dog is stable and has high obedience.   We do not offer this training without first demonstrating the handler understands & agrees to our program parameters.
