 Our Obedience Training program is perfect for dogs of all ages and skill levels. We use a balanced approach, combining positive reinforcement with gentle corrections to teach your dog reliable behaviors in everyday situations. This program is ideal for building a strong foundation of good manners and communication between you and your dog.

• Basic Obedience: Teaching essential commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. Ideal for puppies or dogs with little to no training.
• Advanced Obedience: We build on the basics with off-leash training, reliability around distractions, and more complex commands.
• Focus & Impulse Control: This program helps your dog focus and control their impulses, making them calmer and more obedient in high-stress or busy environments.

 If your dog is struggling with behavioural issues like reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, or fear, our Behavioural Modification program can help. Using scientifically backed, balanced training methods, we address the root causes of these behaviors and work with your dog to reduce undesirable responses.

• Dog Reactivity: For dogs who react aggressively or anxiously toward other dogs or people. Our program focuses on desensitizing and counter-conditioning your dog’s reactions.
• Aggression Management: Helping dogs who show aggression towards people, other animals, or in specific environments, with training to reduce fear and improve social behaviour.
• Anxiety Solutions: We use techniques to calm and soothe dogs with separation anxiety, crate training, and other anxiety-driven behaviours.

 Our K9 Body Conditioning program focuses on improving your dog’s physical fitness, strength, and flexibility. This program is ideal for dogs that need to stay in top physical condition—whether for performance, agility, or overall health—and can be especially helpful for working dogs or active dogs involved in sports.

• Strength Training: Help your dog build muscle and improve endurance, which is essential for active breeds and working dogs.
• Flexibility & Mobility: Keep your dog limber and pain-free with stretches and exercises designed to promote joint health and prevent injuries.
• Core Stability: Strengthen your dog’s core muscles, which are essential for maintaining balance and posture during physical activities.

 At Imperator Dog Training, we understand the importance of creating safe environments for children and pets to interact. Our Family & Child Safety Training program is designed to teach families how to properly introduce and supervise children around dogs. We work with both children and dogs to foster mutual respect, safety, and understanding.

• Safe Interactions: We teach children how to approach, pet, and interact with dogs in a safe, non-threatening manner.
• Dog Behaviour Education: Helping families understand dog body language and behaviour to recognize when a dog needs space or is feeling stressed.
• Positive Reinforcement for Children: Teaching children the value of using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behaviour from the family dog.

 At Imperator Dog Training, we specialize in training dogs for various working roles, including police, military, and service dog roles. We also offer customized training for dogs that work with vulnerable or special needs individuals.

• Working Dog Training: From scent detection to obedience under pressure, we prepare working dogs for real-world tasks, including government contracts in K9 handling.
• Training for Special Needs & Vulnerable Populations: We provide tailored training to help individuals with special needs or vulnerabilities train their dogs effectively, promoting a safe, supportive relationship between the handler and dog.

 Our Scent Work program is a unique, rewarding way to engage your dog’s natural instincts. Dogs are natural sniffers, and scent work can provide them with both mental stimulation and physical exercise. Whether you're interested in scent work for fun or have a working dog that needs professional training, we can help your dog excel.

• Beginner Scent Work: Start with teaching your dog to identify and search for scents. This is a fun and engaging way to exercise your dog’s mind.
• Advanced Scent Work: For dogs ready to take scent detection to the next level, including specialized training for real-world applications, such as detection work for law enforcement or search and rescue.
• Nosework Competitions: For competitive handlers, we offer training geared toward preparing dogs for scent work competitions, refining their skills for timed searches and precision work.
