BEHAVIOUR CONSULTING PRIVATE 1:1 TRAINING
Private Training Options with K9 Kind Dog Training
Our team of knowledgeable trainers are committed to positive reinforcement training based on compassion and respect. Our values are grounded in evidence-based principles that prioritize animal welfare. We promote non-confrontational and humane solutions to living successfully with our canine companions.
Are you looking for private training to resolve a behaviour problem? K9 Kind offers 1:1 behaviour consulting to help you resolve fear, anxiety, excitability, reactivity, resource guarding, aggression, and more.
We offer consultations In-Home as well as in our classrooms at the Royston Hall (South Courtenay) and The Little Red Church (Comox).
During your first 90-minute appointment, we will assess your dog, identify your training goals, and provide a training plan including a recommended number of follow-up lessons (60-minutes). Some problematic behaviours can be resolved in one session. Most behaviour problems are best resolved with a training plan that is carried out over multiple lessons. We want to assist you to the completion of your training goals by providing support as needed along the way. You can book as many or as few follow-up lesson as suits your individual needs. The number of lessons will vary depending on your desire to train independently, or if you prefer more assistance throughout your training plan.

Our approach to dog training is non-judgmental, welcoming and motivating. We know that if a pet parent is struggling to train their dog, it is because they need better answers, or more motivation. We approach the pet parents much the same as we approach dog training and live by the laws of positive-reinforcement with both our canine and human clientele. We teach and motivate people to teach and motivate dogs. Our services are designed with human and canine learning in mind.
We will be adding several other services and classes in 2022 so keep an eye on our website and Facebook for new topics and schedules
8 to 12 weeks – DAPP (parvo and distemper combo)
12 to 20 weeks – DAPP Booster

Nosodes and titer testing accepted.
I adopted two shelter dogs who were terrified when we tried to clip their nails. The vet had to put them out to do it for us. I consulted with Carrie, who worked with the dogs for a short time, and we have since been able to use positive reinforcement to get the job done quickly and efficiently, with no stress to them at all. Also worked for barking, whining and handling thunderstorms. Superb!!!

Awesome experience with K9 Kind. Really enjoyed attending classes and they were great at providing feedback on our training and advice for specific situations. We would definitely recommend if you're looking for an awesome puppy school experience!
Jessica Kerr
I highly recommend K9 Kind for high quality, professional dog training services. They are the best at what they do and have helped our family immensely to understand and train our dog.

We had a wonderful experience with positive reinforcement training for our German Shepherd with Carrie - she was so informative, kind with us and our dog -- the result = a delightfully sweet disposition and super obedient 4 year old Shepherd who is amazing with kids, adults and our kitten :)
Sharmeen
Great training courses, well structured, organized and accommodating.
I would not hesitate to bring another pup or adult dog who needed some additional aid with training to K9 Kind.
The one on one training was incredibly helpful also!

K9 Kind is a wonderful training resource for your dog. I’ve tried other trainers and Carrie and Karou are amazing to say the least. You won’t be disappointed by choosing them.
Jessica Turmuende
Our family has tried every dog trainer in the area, and this team was by far the most courteous, thoughtful and professional service we’ve encountered.
Scout’s Dad
We attended puppy kindergarten. She is absolute magic with dogs - any dogs.
We learned so much and it was a great socializing experience for our little one.
All sizes, breeds, behaviours, and issues. Would recommend!

We took our 8 month old, high energy Labrador Retriever puppy (Teddy) to K9 Kind puppy kindergarten classes. Carrie and Kaoru are very good at what they do! They were patient and skilled at making our very excited puppy do exactly what they asked of him and teaching us how to be better puppy parents. They gave us the tools to continue training him at home which has made a world of difference. Our pup is now very well trained, even off leash, which we thought would never happen. Thank you Carrie and Kaoru! We highly recommend K9 Kind.

As a professional dog trainer and behaviour consultant, I have the opportunity to refer clients to Carrie on a regular basis, I am more than happy to do this, as her professional, friendly and helpful attitude all make her someone I am proud to be in the dog training profession with. Oh! And she is also good at training dogs, too! :)
Lynne Fedorick
I did the obedience 1 training with my 8 month old puppy and it was worth every penny. K9 kind do a great job of breaking down positive reinforcement training and both my dog and I are better for it. Would highly recommend.
Summer Scott
I brought both my dogs (German Shepherd cross & Blue heeler) to K9 kind Obedience Classes and had a positive, educational experience. Carrie takes time with each dog and handler to help with specific issue or questions. Classes were fun and good mix of real life situations and take home practice!
