Find a Dog Trainer in Markham

Brought our little husky puppy to Darlene (owner/operator) at K9's in Kahoots at 10 weeks. Markus is now 13 months old, and has been attending their daycare ever since. The evening puppy training classes were fantastic. The staff is amazing. I know my little buddy is in the best of hands when under their care. Highly recommend

Hi Everyone, this is my dog Moxie. She helped me start K9 Expeditions and her story is very unique. She was with me ever since I was 15 years old and she had lots of issues. She would constantly be under-stimulated and overfed by my family. This is my fault of course, because I lived with a family that had no dog experience. This caused a lot of weight gain and health issues. When we started hiking as a team in 2012, Moxie shed 20 pounds in just 4 months, looking like a brand new dog. She became full of energy and less lethargic. Daily hiking had kept my dog's weight healthy and consistent over the last number of years, and I hope she will live a very long life to enjoy all the beautiful trails this Province has to offer! K9 Expeditions was the decision that changed my dogs health and well-being forever!

Amazing. Confident. Optimistic. Fun. These are some of the words that come to mind when thinking of K9X Training & Obedience. I reached out to K9X when I heard of their proven track record of training and rehabilitating dogs. They welcome any issue(s) no matter how problematic it may be and set you up for success. If you’re unsure about K9X Training and Obedience, just one consultation is all it takes for you to get a great idea of how exceptional the training will be. I was convinced after one consultation and I’ve never looked back. Having a mixture of individual and group classes allowed my dog to be exposed to different situations and environments. Training was exciting and not knowing what to expect, prepared us for anything. All dogs given the right training and leadership can succeed. K9X Training and Obedience taught me to be more self confident while training and my bond has grown exponentially. K9X teaches you to strive for greatness.

Rob and Alexis are fabulous. Our dog is a stray/rescue from Mexico with moderate-high aggression toward other dogs. After a six-week session we noticed a significant improvement in not only her attitude toward other dogs but general obedience including heeling and recalling. Rob in particular is extremely knowledgeable and adaptable to his clients' dogs. Would highly recommend - worth every penny!

We are currently in the middle of a re-training program with our 2 year old goldendoodle. Mark has been incredibly helpful, not only with teaching us his method to re-establish the leadership role with our dog, but has also supported us "checking-in" with our progress to-date, encouraging us to contact him with questions and clarifications about how we're handling a particular issue. Our dog has struggles with separation anxiety, stranger danger, excessive barking, and reactivity on leash. In a few short weeks of implementing Mark's method, we have seen a huge change in our dog. Walks are enjoyable again, our dog is listening to our commands (rather than walking away and doing what he chooses instead!), we can enjoy our backyard again without having to worry about the dog barking at every little noise/perceived threat and we are able to employ techniques to reduce his anxiety before he reaches a highly anxious state. Friends and family have also remarked at how well our dog is responding to training. As I write this, a neighbour's dog is barking at something and our boy hasn't even lifted his head to react. This level of calm would have been hard to believe possible before meeting Mark. We would recommend Mark to anyone seeking help with their dog!

The Bark Zone is THE BEST for dog walking/boarding. In the office they are pleasant, accommodating (even when I call the morning of, they squeeze Daisy in for a walk) and prompt. The walkers are all friendly, crazy for dogs, leave lovely notes after the walk and most importantly, Daisy LOVES them. They have cooked chicken and rice when Daisy has been sick and have been super pleasant with the last minute changes. Highly recommend for your doggy needs.Penny Goodman

Angel and Kerry are an amazing team to work with. Kerry was great at arranging and scheduling appointments around our busy schedule. Angel changed our world with our dog Max. He's our first dog and a rescue and we were not sure where to start with training as he is 6 years old. From the first session we saw changes right away and finished our sessions with flying colors. We miss having Angel come to our house as he was part of our family and plan to have more sessions in the Spring. If you're looking for help/support with your dog you are in the right place!

Excellent with our black lab, she has shown noticable improvement after a few sessions. Faith is great with dogs and is a very knowledgable hydrotherapist. I'd recommend her to anyone.
