Are training tools required?
While we do sometimes utilize training tools such as slip leads, prong collars and E-collars, none of these tools are a one size fits all. Not every dog that goes through our program will be a good fit for a specific training tool. We will not use any training equipment with your dogs without prior approval and an in depth conversation with you. SK9 strives to educate the local community on proper and appropriate use of these tools and we pride ourselves on the amount of education each and every owner receives on every piece of equipment involved in their dogs training, including a regular leash and collar!
Will I be able to learn what my dog has learned in training?
Absolutely! What good is a well trained dog if you don't know how to operate it? No matter which training program you do, we will work diligently to help you gain complete confidence in your abilities to guide your dog through whatever life throws at you!
