K-9 Containment Training Philosophy

K-9 Contain and Train's training philosophy is one of understanding, cooperation and results. We do not believe in confrontation, compulsion or uncertain outcomes. Since no two dogs are the same, any successful training with the K-9 Electronic Dog Fence System must take each dog's unique personality and temperament into account. With typical behavioral issues, if you don't get it right, you can keep practicing. Successful training with an electronic dog fence means the difference between having peace of mind when you let your dog out and finding your dog elsewhere in the neighborhood or worse. The key to ensuring long term pet containment success is K-9 Contain and Train's Nine Pillars of Training. We do all the perimeter training so you can just have FUN with your dog in your yard! With the 'K-9's Lifetime Training and Containment', we ensure prompt, successful and permanent results.

"My wife and I adopted Denver this past May. We had discussed purchasing an electric fence containment system when we bought our home in February, so we decided to do some research in order to find the best option and the best value. After having had home visits from three different companies, we chose K-9 Contain & Train Electronic Dog Fence. We felt that the integrity of the system was sound, the service was high quality and easily accessible, and above all - the training was done by our professional trainer, Steve.

Steve helped us in so many ways. From understanding how our dog thinks to how we should best train our dog, Steve was a key tool in the success of Denver’s adoption into our home. Steve provided friendly service and completed the containment training at convenient times for our schedule. He actually did the work with Denver and the containment system; he brought us into the training model as the positive experience, while any types of corrections or negative reinforcements were done by him. We found this to be a critical element with Denver. Since he was new to our family, his trust in us was reinforced throughout the training.

We would like to thank Steve for his help and successful training of Denver. He helped us make the adoption of Denver a positive and smooth transition, while still continuing his contact and assistance with us in many other ways. My wife and I both fully recommend Steve and the K-9 Contain and Train System to our family and friends."
