Our Comprehensive Canine Training and Rehabilitation Services

"One & Done" — Because Most of Our Clients Only Need One Session

At DK9S, most of our training isn't weeks or months long. It's focused, instinctive, and immediate. Our specialized "One & Done" approach often resolves reactivity, obedience issues, or behavioral tension in a single session — sometimes when nothing else has worked.

Whether it's aggression, anxiety, or simple obedience, the goal is to create real change right away — not lock you into a program.

That said, every case is different. Your dog's success depends on a mix of temperament, history, and your own confidence and follow-through. Some situations require a deeper reset — that's where our Board & Train program shines.

Reactivity & Aggression Rehabilitation

  • —In-home or on-site options available
  • —Safe, effective, real-world results
  • —Holistic supports used where appropriate (Reiki, oils, frequency, behavior desensitization)
  • —Owner coaching included in all cases

Starting at $400 for One & Done session

Additional packages available upon request

All bookings begin with a conversation. I want to make sure I fully understand your dog's needs before we begin — because what looks like one issue is often something else entirely. Reach out to get started →

Remote Sessions, Risk Assessments & Temperament Evaluations

At DK9S Canine Behaviour Modification & Obedience Training, we offer more than in-person behavior help.

Whether you're a concerned owner, rescue, trainer, or vet, we help assess behavioral risk and outline practical steps to move forward.

  • —In-home mobile services available within 2-hour radius of Lamont, AB (surcharge applicable)
  • —Main location in Lamont
  • —Remote sessions available by Zoom, FaceTime, or phone — for clients across Alberta and beyond

We've supported dog owners as far as internationally — because behavior is universal, and so is the need for help.

How to Get Started

Every case is different — and I decide what's needed based on what you share with me. The best way to begin is to reach out by email with as much detail as you can: what's going on with your dog, your phone number, and a good time to connect. I like to speak with people on the phone before booking, so I can make sure I fully understand the situation and we're the right fit for each other.

You can also use the contact form on this site — it works just as well and gives me everything I need to follow up with you directly.
