Talk To A Dog Trainer Who Actually Listens.
Most owners who reach out to Theta K9 have already tried something else. A group class that didn’t take. A trainer who refused the case once the dog hit a certain size. A “positive-only” program that ran out of tools the moment things got serious.
We’re different on purpose. Theta K9 specializes in extra-large breeds, giant breeds, and aggression cases — the dogs other Alberta trainers won’t take. The work is grounded in a balanced training method built on positive reinforcement first, with measured correction only when the situation actually demands it.
When you reach out to book dog training in Alberta, you’ll get an honest answer. If we can help, we’ll tell you exactly what the plan looks like and what it’ll take. If we can’t, we’ll tell you that too — and point you somewhere that can. The goal is the dog. Always.

What To Expect When You Book Dog Training In Alberta
Four steps from your first message to your first session when you book dog training in Alberta with Theta K9. No paperwork. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about your dog and a plan that fits.
First Conversation
You call or message. We talk through the basics — your dog, your goals, what’s working and what isn’t. Usually fifteen to twenty minutes.
Free Video Call
If we’re a fit, we start with a video call. No charge. We see how the dog moves, reacts, and learns. You see how we work.
Custom Plan
Every dog gets a training plan built around the actual problem. Not a template. Not a package. The work the dog needs, in the order it needs it.
Begin Training
Sessions start. You’re coached at every step — most behavior issues start at the other end of the leash, and we work both ends together.
Booking Dog Training In Alberta — FAQ
How much does training cost?
Training in person is $120 per hour, one on one. Video calls are free, whether you’re down the road or across the province, and they’re the best place to start before you book dog training in Alberta with us. See the pricing page for what’s included.
Do you take aggressive dogs?
Yes. Aggression cases are our specialty — most owners who book dog training in Alberta with Theta K9 do so because other trainers either refused the case outright or weren’t equipped to handle the heavier work involved. Theta K9’s balanced training method exists in large part to help dogs other programs have turned away. Reactivity, leash aggression, dog-on-dog and dog-on-human cases — we take the work.
What breeds do you train?
All of them. Our specialty is extra-large and giant breeds — Cane Corsos, Mastiffs, Great Danes, Rottweilers, working-line Shepherds and Malinois, anything in the 80-plus-pound range. But the same principles work on a Yorkie. The dog’s size doesn’t change the method, only the practical application.
Where do you train?
We train in person across Alberta. Video calls are free and work from anywhere, so if you’re further out or want an expert read first, start there. Reach out and we’ll figure out what makes sense for your situation.
How quickly do behavior problems improve?
Depends on the dog, the owner, and the issue. Most owners see visible change in the first one or two sessions — but real, lasting change takes weeks of consistent work. We don’t sell quick fixes. The work that lasts is the work done properly the first time. The American Veterinary Medical Association’s overview of dog behavior is a solid primer if you want to understand the science behind why this work takes time.
The Sooner You Call, The Sooner It Changes.
Behavior problems rarely get better on their own. Most get worse. If your dog needs help, the first conversation is free, the next steps are honest, and the work starts as soon as you’re ready to book dog training in Alberta with a team that won’t quit on a hard case.
