What does K-9iQ Berwick offer?
K-9iQ Berwick offers General and Specific dog training to the General Public and Industry.
General Obedience covers realistic street smart Obedience and Socialisation and Behaviour training to bring out the best qualities in your dog. K-9iQ Dogs are balanced, sociable, confident and most of all - happy dogs.
Part of the K-9iQ Berwick experience is Agility Training as part of the Socialisation and Confidence Development Training for all dogs and and puppies of all ages and skill levels. Our Agility setup is continuously updated to reflect client needs and to ensure that all our dogs develop skills and confidence in all aspects of life. This is included at no extra cost to you.
Our Socialisation and Obedience classes are as follows: Please click on this Link to view Class Content listed below.
Puppy Pre-School and Puppy Training - We start training and socialising Puppies from 8 weeks of age through to around 12 months depending on the size and maturity of your dog. Puppies are divided into groups based on their age and size.
The main focus is Confidence Development, Socialisation and Gentle Obedience.
All our training is carried out in fresh air and on grass. The classes have a generous ratio of Trainers to Clients so your Puppy is not left out. We also accurately target and resolve typical Puppy problems as part of the class content.
Don't risk the initial training of your puppy to well intending amateurs in vet clinics. Give your puppy the best chance possible and train with Melbourne's most Qualified and Experienced Trainers. Puppy Pre-School that is carried out in a room with few dogs over a few weeks is not what your dog needs, in fact this is where most dog behaviour problems start.
All puppies must have at least their first Vaccination. We need to sight this on your first day of training with us.
Dog Behaviour Training - K-9iQ is the industry leader in dealing with Dog Behaviours. Our Head Trainer is in high demand across the industry assisting dogs with behavioural issues and lectures to many organisations on how to deal with all dog related issues. We can assist you with in class attention to your problem, or if the need is more pronounced through one on one guidance at the centre.
Basic Obedience Training - This is our entry level for dogs over the age of 12 months. It is intended for people that want basic control over their dog for day to day issues.
Intermediate Obedience Training - This level follows Basic Obedience and is geared to produce a great level of control over your dog on lead in many varied situations.
Advanced Obedience Training - This is where the training starts to get detailed and requires commitment from you as the dog's owner. Advanced Obedience Training is all off lead and to a very exacting degree. Dogs that work in this level are exciting to watch and have a great relationship with their owner.
Elite Obedience Training - This is as good as it gets anywhere! Dogs that are in this level have got all the skills needed to do anything, anywhere, anytime. K-9iQ Berwick Elite dogs are at the pinnacle of dogs in society and do it all under numerous distractions that make normal dogs lose concentration and run. If you enjoy action and love your dog, this is the level for you.
Industry Training - This is aimed at the working sector of people and dogs. If you are interested in Assistance Dog work, TV or Movie work or perhaps Scent Detection work, K-9iQ Berwick has the skilled trainers able to assist you and your dog to get the skills you need to work in the respective field.
We encourage children of all ages to participate in the training, however children under the age of 12 years old will require adult supervision at all times while at the centre.
BOARDING AND TRAINING - We are now pleased to offer Boarding and Training to new and existing clients. Training is aimed at targeting the specific issues you are having. Be it aggression, excitability, separation issues or even just a higher degree of obedience, we can help you.
Please email us directly to discuss cost, content and duration of the Boarding and Training. Boarding and Training is carried out as a home stay with one of our skilled trainers. Don't risk sending your dog to a kennel facility when it can have that special touch that you would expect.

What training methods does K-9iQ Berwick use?
Our methods reflect best practice in the industry and are geared to produce the best results possible, and are based on the LIMA principle (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive). Our methods while being humane, work to get the best out of your dog and make your dog work for you.
We fundamentally encourage positive rewards as part of the training process and our focus is aimed at teaching you how to get the best out of that special bond between you and your dog.
Afterall, nothing in life should be as important to your dog than you and your family.
