At Frontier K9 Services, we believe that every dog has the potential to thrive with the right training, guidance, and support. One of our most rewarding success stories is Toby, a dog who once struggled with reactivity and a bite history. Thanks to the dedication of his owners, Craig and Dawn, and our proven training methods, Toby is now a completely different dog – calm, confident, and able to enjoy life without the stress of constant reactions.

Toby’s Story: A Journey from Fear to Freedom

When Craig and Dawn first came to us, they were at their wits’ end. Toby’s reactivity was making everyday life difficult. Walks were stressful, encounters with other dogs were unpredictable, and outings to public places felt impossible. With a bite history, the stakes were even higher. They needed a solution, not just for their peace of mind, but for Toby’s well-being too.

Through our structured training program, we worked closely with Craig, Dawn, and Toby to address the root causes of his behavior. Our approach focuses on clear communication, confidence-building, and gradual exposure to controlled situations. This allowed Toby to develop trust, learn appropriate behaviors, and gain the ability to remain calm even in challenging environments.

The Transformation: Confidence and Control

Today, Craig and Dawn can take Toby to public places without fear. He remains composed around other people and dogs, a milestone that once felt impossible. His transformation is a testament to what’s possible when training is done correctly, with patience, consistency, and the right techniques.

We couldn’t be prouder of Craig, Dawn, and Toby. Their commitment to the process is the reason behind this incredible success.

Why Our Methods Work

At Frontier K9 Services, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each dog is unique, and so is our training. Our methods prioritise:

• Understanding Canine Psychology: We address the ‘why’ behind behaviors rather than just suppressing symptoms.
• Building Confidence: Fear-based reactivity often diminishes when a dog learns how to navigate the world safely.
• Owner Education: We empower owners with the skills to maintain progress long after formal training ends.
• Gradual Desensitisation and Real-World Exposure: By introducing challenges in a controlled manner, we ensure long-lasting results.
