We enrolled Kingston for the 2 week course and his results have been great since taking him home. Kingston had all of the typical Frenchie behaviours. He was a very high energy Velcro dog. He barked for absolutely everything and would be constantly in your face if you had food. Walks weren’t enjoyable because of the constant pulling. It’s been a few days at home and we’ve just been working on place and crate. I’m surprised with how well he’s doing in the crate and staying in his place. I can move around without worrying that I may trip on him. Walks are also so nice now. I am thrilled that I can go on longer stretches instead of just walking around the block (which is like a small circle).
The staff has also been wonderful. Kat was really helping with answering any question I had regarding enrolling Kingston. She was very patient with my many questions. His trainer Dan was really great with King and was really helpful when teaching us during the go home lesson. He was also really good with getting back to my questions after getting home. I really liked the scheduled updates so I knew when I would expect them and the progress made so far. The online course provided and the documents sent have also been helpful for reviewing how to continue properly training Kingston.
Lastly I wanted to thank everyone there who helped Kingston when he got sick. Everyone did a great job taking care of him - from driving him and picking him up from the vet and administering the meds provided. I also appreciated that they kept him longer free of charge to ensure that he had extra time to rest before continuing his training. I really appreciate the extra care taken with him.
Overall I am very happy and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a board and train.
Thanks everyone!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the 2-week board and train program our dog George just completed! Before going in, George struggled with settling in the house, walking politely on leash and reactivity.
The transformation in just two weeks has been incredible. George had learned how to relax on his place and settle with little direction. Our walks are no longer a battle — he walks on a loose leash with ease, which makes getting out with him so much more enjoyable.
Dan, Mikayla & the entire iTrainK9 team were absolutely wonderful to work with. Their communication throughout the program was excellent — I received regular updates and videos, which made me feel included in George’s progress every step of the way. The follow-up after the program has also been amazing. They took the time to walk us through the training, answer all our questions, and make sure we felt confident continuing George’s progress at home.
If you’re on the fence about a board and train, do it — it’s worth every penny. The peace of mind, the bond we now have with George, and the confidence he’s gained are truly priceless. iTrainK9 is the real deal, and I’d recommend them to anyone.

I enrolled two of my one-year-old miniature poodles, Bruce and Leo, in the unlimited board and train program with iTrainK9. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made in this century.
Bruce and Leo had all the typical problems associated with young, enthusiastic, energetic, and curious poodles (or maybe just uniquely to my dogs, 🤷♂️). They leashed pulled during walks, sat, stayed, and down for only a second, chased anything from a falling leaf to a squirrel, barked at anything that moved, and selectively listened to commands.
After eight weeks of training with Dan, the principal trainer for my dogs, Bruce and Leo can now walk loose-leash and off-leash, sit down and stay until released, recall in their most distracted situations, and not bark at random things or noises. The online lessons, a shoutout to Jason (itraink9 founder and trainer), taught me how to manage my dogs’ reactivity on walks and other skills to continue training them afterward. Daily short videos of my dogs’ training helped me learn to train properly. In short, all of the above problems are corrected.
Regarding the trainer, Dan (sorry for not knowing your last name), he worked hard and ticked all the boxes I had requested, besides the obvious problems. He clearly communicated what he would train them on and executed it. His enthusiasm and knowledge gave me assurance that I made the right choice. Dan and his colleagues reformed my dogs without changing their natural happy-go-lucky demeanour. After the program concluded, Dan followed up to make sure that my dogs were still doing as I expected. He helped me refine my training techniques with Bruce and Leo at home. At itraink9, they encourage me to reach out to them if I have any questions or concerns, which makes me feel less daunting trying to train my dogs by myself.
In conclusion, I would definitely book them again.

We brought our boy Moose for puppy training here for 3 weeks and it is such a great facility! The staff are excellent, so well trained and keep you up to date while your dog is in training. That was one of my favourite things was getting updates every couple of days :). We are very pleased with our services as well as our experience here and definitely recommend!
You will not be disappointed at all!

I had my French Bulldog with ITK9 in 2021 when she was about 9 months old. I recently brought them our new addition, Phoebe at 12 weeks for the puppy training and just got her back. The support through online training sessions with videos while she was at board and train as well as the constant updates throughout her stay are amazing. I was able to see her progress throughout her stay. The follow up one on one session will help me stay on track and will help Phoebe’s success which she is now set up for. Thank you to the whole team that played a part in both Penny and Phoebe’s journey. You are all amazing and I am so grateful to have found you.
