About
At Ancillary K9, we believe you can have the relationship you want with the dog you love. In fact, we’re in the business of making that happen. Our training programs are goal-specific, and are based on scientific, evidence-based research. We provide personalised, intensive training that delivers rapid, lasting results tailored to your dog's unique needs. Our programs empower both you and your dog for long-term success. We’ll work with you and your dog to solve the problems that matter most to you: obedience, behavioral issues, and aggressive dog rehabilitation. The biggest threat to the bond between you and your dog is their behavior – the one thing you may not know how to address on your own. If you’ve tried other programs or trainers in the past, only to be disappointed with the results, we know how frustrating that can be. Whether you’re focused on competition, personal protection, or just enhancing the bond between you and your K9 friend, our no-nonsense approach – backed by our Lifetime Support Guarantee – will allow you to be successful. Training is a vital part of the relationship you have with your dog. Let’s make it stronger together.

Tried two other trainers before Dion, neither understood my dogs. Dion did an amazing job working with me and my dogs. He did a great job training me how to handle my two crazy bull terriers. Will only be using Dion for future training needs.

Dion is excellent and very professional. He understands how dogs operate and relates it to you in a very unique way. I recently have gotten a German Shepherd puppy and I have an 8 year old rescue who has been very timid and fearful most of her life. She is now really coming out of her shell and my German Shepherd puppy has been much more manageable. I am able to walk both dogs with ease and we are looking forward to moving my German Shepherd max into protection work. We are only about halfway through Package, but I am really enjoying working the techniques and training principles Dion has showed us. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to getting training for their dog wether it's specialized or just basic obedience and have already steered many co-workers and friends to his website and shown the success Ive had with my two dogs.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 6 months old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private dog training lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Biting • Chewing • Destructive behavior • Crate training • I travel to the dog trainer • The dog trainer travels to me

I brought my dog, who has had some behavioral issues, to Dion. He pinpointed the causes, worked with me to resolve them, and I have noticed significant progress. He has also showed me just a few basic things, and literally in minutes my dog was not yanking me all over the place. I went to his eight-week program over the summer and intend to go back for more training when I recover from a skiing injury. Even with one leg in a brace, I can walk my dog without worrying she will suddenly yank me down. I think his philosophy is great, not relying entirely on treats to get your dog to behave. If the latter was the case, then what do you do when you run out of treats? They are busy, but I highly suggest you call them. Put it this way, I live in DTC and I was more than willing to make the trip.
