Frequently Asked Questions

What age should my dog start training?

Puppy training can, and should start, as early as 8 weeks old. In Muskoka K9's Puppy Program, training focuses on teaching the handler how to build trust between you and your puppy, deliver and instil obedience to simple commands, develop your puppy's confidence, and enhance its socialization skills.

How do you address reactive behaviours?

Reactive behaviours are a troubling and potentially dangerous reality for far too many dogs. Muskoka K9 customizes strategies to address the source of the triggers in order to alter your dog's reactive behaviors. Finding the root cause of the reactivity is important to us. We prioritize the safety and comfort of you and your dog.  

Can old dogs learn new tricks?

Absolutely! Like with humans, it's never too late to learn. Dogs of any age can learn new behaviours and commands. The key is understanding the principles of effective training techniques.

Can you help me create an adventure partner?

At Muskoka K9, we recognize the truth in the adage 'a dog is a human's best friend'. A dog's loyal nature drives it to be your adventure partner, whether in the car, canoe, kayak, or hiking in the backcountry. You both can head to your next adventure with surprisingly little training and guidance.  

At Muskoka K9 we believe proper training enriches your dog's life. A well-trained dog is a well-adjusted dog that can enjoy life with their families.
