Our Services

Compassion

We genuinely care for dogs' well-being and value their uniqueness. Our approach embraces kindness, empathy, and a true desire to enhance their lives.

Dedicated

Excellence drives everything we do – from our skilled trainers and behaviourists to top-notch training programs and exceptional customer service.

Respect

We value creating trust through mutual respect and understanding, nurturing an environment for growth and learning to flourish.

We Believe That a Well-Trained Owner, Creates a Well-Trained Dog

At Progressive K9, we firmly believe that a well-trained owner is the foundation for a well-trained dog. We understand that training isn’t just about teaching your dog a few tricks or commands; it’s about developing a strong and mutually respectful relationship based on trust and clear communication. That’s why our programs focus not only on training your dog but also on empowering you as an owner.

When you possess the knowledge and skills to effectively communicate with your dog, you become their leader and guide. You’ll learn how to set boundaries, establish consistent routines, and provide clear cues, all of which contribute to a harmonious and well-disciplined canine companion. Our experienced trainers will work closely with you, equipping you with the tools and techniques necessary to address behavioral issues, reinforce positive behaviors, and foster a deep bond with your dog.

By investing in your own education and growth as a dog owner, you’ll create an environment that promotes your dog’s well-being and happiness. Your dedication and commitment to their training will result in a confident, obedient, and well-adjusted dog. Together, we can help you become the kind of owner that your furry friend deserves, creating a positive ripple effect that extends beyond training sessions and into every aspect of your lives together.

Our Process

Our process is designed to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to dog training and behavior modification.

Consultation

Starting with a thorough consultation, we grasp your goals, concerns, and your dog's unique behaviour. This guides us in tailoring a specific plan to your needs.

Assessment and Planning

After assessing your dog's behaviour, temperament, and any underlying issues, we will create a personalised training plan that outlines the steps required to achieve your desired outcomes.

Training Sessions

We'll schedule sessions to match your availability and your dog's needs. Our trainers will work closely with you and your dog.

Ongoing Support

Count on us for consistent support. Our trainers offer guidance, answer your questions, and provide tips to reinforce training techniques beyond formal sessions.

I commute from downtown to PK9 because that’s how great they are. Everyone at PK9 is AMAZING! Rob and Ashley are phenomenal trainers and Machiko is always super responsive regarding booking/communication. My dog Mokoko had bad on-leash reactivity towards other dogs (barking, growling, lunging at any dog within 10-15m). I did 4 private sessions with Rob where he gave me the skills and tools to help Mokoko work through his reactivity. It has been 2 months since we started and he has made a huge improvement! PK9 also offers many different classes, which are flexible depending on the demand of the students! We enrolled in beginner rally obedience with Ashley and group reactivity classes with Rob. Please do not hesitate to give PK9 a call regarding any dog training/behavioural modification issues! My only warning is that you may become *obsessed* with dog training once you see your dog progressing and you gain more confidence in dog handling 🙂

Rob is very good at meeting the client handler and dog where they are, instead of imposing some cookie cutter system on them. We had issues with reactivity and was able to make marked improvements with Rob and other trainers’ help, and our own hard work of course.

I took in Scooby a male year and half old great dane mastiff mix around 2 months ago and with him being such a larger dog I knew we would need some proper one on one dog behavioural training. Ashley was amazing from class number one! Scooby and I were taking walks around the block and heeling by class number two! Every class Ashley was there to teach, listen and give advise! She sent us home with homework after each class and after 6 classes Scooby and I are a team! We cannot wait to enrol in the other classes offer. Ashley did not just help train Scooby she help trained me! I definitely recommend K9 Progressive to anyone who needs some help with their dog.

Owner Rob is the best! You can tell how much he loves dogs and it shows in the results. The thing we loved the best was Rob caters the training to what you feel you need to work on the most. Our dog Bauer was timid around other dogs and lacked confidence, so Rob would incorporate our training sessions with his beautiful, amazingly trained dogs and you could see improvements weekly. Bauer is now so much more confident around other dogs which make our lives so much easier. Can’t wait to go back in the fall! Thanks Rob!

Everyone here makes accessing dog training a pleasure. Zero pretense or attitude. I have taken Intro to Sports and , Intro Rally and Intermediate level rally with Ashley and Abbey. We have just completed our first round of Obedience classes and it’s been eye opening and very fun. I have gone to other facilities for training and while they supported what I needed in the immediate there was nothing to continue on to . Ashley does not merely scratch the surface of dog training. Her enthusiasm is unmatched. I have learned so much and will continue to do so. I have recently met Rob and Alexis and hope to do bite work with them . Again… so obviously in love with what they do and so inviting. 5/5 definitely feel comfortable referring people to PK9.

We had a fantastic experience with Rob and our dog Freya. Rob is very knowledgeable and brings both his own experiences as well as research-based approaches. Through our 6 week program of 1:1 sessions, we have built confidence in managing any situations that may arise with our dog. Rob gave us the tools to continue working with Freya and improving our bond and trust. We will definitely be back for the group sessions!

I cannot sum up the gratitude that I have for Progressive K9 in one post, but I will try. Day 1 when we arrived with our dog, Rob was professional, informative, and direct. He told us what would need to be done and how he wanted to do it. We worked through reactivity with our dog over a 6 week program, and the results were incredible! It is very clear that Rob and Abbey put their all into helping dogs and owners overcome any obstacles. We plan on returning for more training with Progressive K9, and I’ve already recommended them to many friends with reactive/aggressive dogs.

Excellent training!!! Our puppy was bossy and got aggressive when he was over-excited. We weren’t bonding because he wasn’t fun to be with. We took a 6 lesson program with Rob and it was game changing. Rob gave us practical training and tools that immediately addressed our dog’s bad behaviour and gave us confidence that we could get past this. Rob takes time to understand both the owner and dog personalities and finds the best compassionate approach to create positive outcomes. We now need to practice until it becomes engrained in our pet but we know we can lean back on Rob if we encounter new issues or need some adjustments.
