OUR PHILOSOPHY
For over 14 years, Outstanding K9 has serviced and worked with thousands of dogs and their owners in the Dayton area. We believe training your dog is the best decision you can make! No matter the age, size, breed, or behavioral issue your dog might have, it’s never too late to train your dog and there isn’t a problem we can’t fix. Our methodology is based on a four-pronged approach:
* Functionality
* Education
*Individualized Method
* Ongoing Support
FUNCTIONALITY
|
When you hear the word “dog training” it is often associated with obedience training, which is where you teach your dog commands such as “sit” & “stay.” At Outstanding K9 we take this a step further with functionality of obedience in your everyday life as each family & individual’s lifestyle is different:
|
In these instances, and as part of your family, you would love for your dog to be in harmony with your lifestyle. Outstanding K9 training will empower you to have complete control of your dog and create the behavior you expect from them in all situations. This also applies to diagnosis & addressing the specific behavioral problems present. We look at individual goals: taking into account your family, interactions, house, yard, neighbors, expectations – your entire community blueprint.
clients have an ‘obedient’ dog in the house but as soon as distraction occurs, it’s gone. Example: will lie down in your living room but cannot settle when you have guest at your house or at your kid’s soccer game.
We also understand that your lifestyle might change over time, and it’s our job to make sure that you and your companion are confident in adapting to any changes that may occur over the years.

EDUCATION
How do we go about this? We will come to your home & environment ( parks, stores, work, neighborhood, etc.etc.) the world your dog lives & functions in. This is also where your dog’s behavior issues typically originate and worsen, so it’s in your home setting and according to your life style where we want to address it to achieve long-term results.
We offer a simple and fun approach that both empowers you as an owner and respects your dog’s dignity & nature of being happy & relaxed. We will provide you with hands-on-techniques, education, & practical exercises specifically designed for your goals & needs. You will receive dog psychology & understanding/knowledge individualized to your own dog, not just obedience training. There will be a deep understanding why your dog does what he/she does; to know their habits with new applied techniques and styles of communicating with your dog. There is a big difference!
The aim of all training and behavior modification is the desire to improve the communication and understanding between dogs and their owners. We are consistently contacted by people who have had dogs all their life but the newest addition created an entirely different dynamic that owners are unable to fix. They try to address it with their previous acquired knowledge but it doesn’t work with the new dog. Owners unconsciously create habits for their own dogs that can become problems.
Like all relationships, the relationship between the dog and owner must be based on love, trust, and respect. This takes time, patience, understanding & clear communication. & the art of compromise. This in turn will bring harmony and happiness to the home for everyone involved. You will be amazed at how quickly your dog will become willing to do what you ask. Outstanding K9 is committed to providing the best training & creation of positive habits that will last for a lifetime.

INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
After being in this business for 22 years & interacting with thousands of clients from all walks of lives, we come across too many stories of dogs being discarded, put-down, locked away or lead a poor quality of life due to misinformation, a lack of behavioral understanding, and poor training. Many of our clients came to us having tried different trainers & facilities with no lasting results. Dogs are often turned away from obedience classes because they don’t fit into their particular training system and are classed untrainable or are told, “if you can’t control your dog, we cannot keep you in the class.” Isn't that why you decided to hire a trainer or go to training classes??
We believe every dog is trainable and can lead a fulfilled life. We do not follow a standard system that is used for all dogs. The information and techniques we teach you will depend on your individual dog and your unique interactions with him or her, as we believe that each dog requires an individualized solution. No two dogs are the same, which means that no two sessions are the same either. We find that it is our job to show & coach you how to work with your own dog at your time of session. It is not the method or training tool itself, but how you use this method or training differently with each individual case, that’s where our expertise & experience comes into place.
We understand the core issue and utilize the method to fit the dog. We are hands-on individuals; we don’t hire trainers to train with our “method” and then they apply it to every dog. We only hire talented and invested trainers on all fronts so we can use it accordingly. It takes great amount of time and knowledge to understand the need & application of modified knowledge. As a result, Outstanding K9 creates a very high functional obedient dog while maintaining everything you personally love about your companion – that will never change! It’s our mission to create a happy dog and a happy owner. its always...
The Way You Want Your Companion To Be!
