Three extremely anxious and reactive Corsos from the same household- Duchess, Peach and Bowser

With dogs like this, rushing the process only creates more pressure. We slow everything down, build trust, create structure, and allow the dogs to feel safe before progressively challenging them in controlled situations.

We don’t rush training, we don’t take shortcuts — we train only as fast as the dogs learn. The goal isn’t just obedience, it’s helping them learn how to stay calmer, think clearly, and make better decisions under stress.

Whether you have a multi-dog household dealing with fights, anxiety, reactivity, or dogs that simply don’t listen when it matters most, the right approach can completely change the dynamic inside the home.

If you’re struggling with your dogs, DM us READY to get started today.

Tucker making the transition to off-leash control 🔥

It’s one thing for a dog to listen in a quiet environment… it’s another thing entirely when there are multiple dogs around, and distractions are constant.

In this clip, Tucker is learning to stay accountable on place while other dogs are working around him — and then transitioning that same level of control off leash. This is how you build reliability.

Dogs don’t generalize well. If you only train in one environment, you only get results in that environment.

That’s why we:
• Train around other dogs
• Change environments
• Add pressure and real-life distractions

Because your dog needs to listen everywhere — not just at home.

This is how you create freedom.

10 dogs. 10 different emotional states. One intentional process.

Different breeds.
Different genetics.
Different life experiences.

Some arrived overstimulated.
Some shut down.
Some hyper-vigilant.
Some unsure how to settle.
Some carrying stress that showed up as behavior.

At the core of every behavior is an emotional state.

Our work starts there.

Before obedience, we focus on:
• nervous system regulation
• emotional safety and clarity
• structured outlets for drive
• teaching dogs how to decompress and reset

When a dog feels balanced internally,
their choices change externally.

Well-being isn’t just about commands.
It’s about helping dogs feel grounded, confident, and capable in the world they live in.

That’s why every dog here is trained as an individual and not a breed label and not a checklist.

This is what real training looks like when the goal is long-term stability, not quick compliance

🏠✨ The crate isn’t a “cage” — it’s your dog’s safe space.

When used properly, crate training builds confidence, structure, and calm — creating a balanced dog who feels secure at home and beyond.

At ITK9, we teach dogs (and owners) how to make the crate a positive, peaceful place — not a punishment.

✅ Use calm thresholds at the crate door
🍽 Feed meals inside the crate
💤 Reward calm, relaxed behavior

When your dog chooses to rest in their crate, that’s when true progress begins.

🎥 Trainers Ashley & Lauren explain how to turn the crate into your dog’s sanctuary.

If you own a dog, they must be on a leash in public, unless you are at a dogs off-leash area.

No excuses! You are responsible for your dog’s behaviour.
