I have had previous training in the past with my dog at another dog school. Where do I begin?
Although we teach basic to advanced commands in our groups, it's the DOG PSYCHOLOGY, the how's and why's, energy control, and unwanted behavior assistance, that you will only learn in The Leadership Blueprint Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 at TSK9U. During these private lessons we can determine together which course is best as your next step.

My dog already knows basic commands. Do I need to begin in The Leadership Blueprint?
Yes, it's the dog psychology, the how's and why's, energy control, and unwanted behavior assistance, that you will only learn in The Leadership Blueprint, as well as getting to know our methods, and requirements for groups. We do not want you missing out on key information, nor do we want you to be confused in our upper levels on why we are teaching the way we do.

ow many dogs are enrolled in each group class?
We usually allow around 7 dogs or less in each group class.
Is spay and neutered required?
No. But unaltered females will need to stay home if in season. No in heat females allowed. Unaltered males are welcome anytime if they are not anxious or aggressive or reactive. Even if you have a behaviorally sound dog in season, it can possibly cause other dogs to react with behavioral issues. Most animals with hormones can act out at any moment with other males/females around. So for mental and physical safety, we ask you to leave your pet at home.
Does my K9 Angels Therapy Dogs need to be altered to join the program?
No, not "before" joining, because some puppies may still be too young. But we do highly suggest they are all spayed/neutered before earning your "IN-TRAINING" ID Card and Vest/Bandanna or before completing the program. As behaviorists, hormones can alter behaviors in your dog and others. Communication with your trainer is key and situations may vary.
