K9-1 Specialized Dog Training welcomes you and your dogs to our self-help online dog training site!
Whether you are a new student to dog training in need of guidance or an experienced trainer/behaviorist seeking to expand your education - you will find what you need here to learn, master, and find support in the quicky expanding method of the "Foundation Style" of Dog Training.
What is the "Foundation Style" of dog training?
This is standardized style that has been in development for over a decade that teaches trainers and dog owners how to methodically troubleshoot the most difficult behavior problems, develop plans for reliable obedience in difficult dogs, outline how to rehabilitate and manage different categories of aggressive dogs, and training methods for effective and responsible personal protection dogs.
What is different about this Style?
There are no widely known standards in the world of dog training that humanely teaches reliable control beyond the restraints of simple positive reinforcement based training methods. When choosing a trainer you generally don't know what you or your dog is going to be exposed to. Will the training be reliable? Will the dog be treated with respect?
What is different about this style is that it is not different between the growing amount of trainers that adhere to its guidelines and values. The foundation style of dog training is perhaps the most technical and thorough dog training system in the world. If a trainer is claiming to use this system, the trainer must be using a series of quality control checklists and systems that are easily verified. A dog completing a training program through this style must not only demonstate a deep understanding of the taught tasks, but also must have been taught in a way that is reflective of the values that are part of the training style - which include maintaining a respectful relationship with the dog, having patience, compassion, and devotion to the canine student.
The methods found on this site are not a compilation of random training exercises and techniques gathered by an internet marketer to make quick sales, but instead the actual play book and theories of a highly respected dog training company with a growing following of other professional trainers that successfully take on the most complicated and difficult dog training cases.
