Free Dog Training
Edmonton.
We Film It.
The free dog training Edmonton program runs while Theta K9 builds its content library. The trade is simple: we film sessions for educational and social media use. No payment changes hands. No faces required on camera.
Two Options. One Is Free.
Right now, in-person training is offered at no cost. Video consultations launch at $120 per hour after the free program closes. Below, the full breakdown of what each looks like.
Hands-On Sessions
Full-program free dog training Edmonton owners can actually use. Sessions, assessment, owner coaching, all equipment — nothing on the invoice. The only ask: footage gets used for Theta K9’s educational and social media content. No faces required if you’d rather not appear on camera.
- › Free in-person assessment
- › Custom training plan, no templates
- › One-on-one sessions, no group classes
- › Owner coaching at every session
- › All training equipment provided
- › Travel to your home included
Video Consultations
One-on-one video consultation calls for owners who can’t access in-person training, or who want expert input on a specific behavior issue. Same balanced training framework, delivered remotely.
- › 60-minute video session
- › Pre-call intake on your case
- › Live observation of your dog
- › Written follow-up plan
- › Anywhere in Alberta or beyond
- › Email support post-call
What Free Dog Training Edmonton Actually Covers.
The free in-person program isn’t a stripped-down version of paid training. It’s the full program. No discount tier, no upsells, no “basic vs premium.” If you qualify and the case fits, you get the work.
Honest Read.
Free in-person assessment of your dog. We see how the dog moves, reacts, and learns. You see how we work. No charge whether you continue or not.
Full Sessions.
One-on-one training sessions for the full duration of the program. Whether that’s eight weeks of obedience reset or six months of aggression rehab, the work doesn’t stop because the price is zero.
Owner Work.
Every session includes owner coaching. The dog can only change as fast as you do, and that part is non-negotiable — whether the training is free or paid.
Tools Provided.
Marker, treats, long line, training collar where appropriate. Equipment used during sessions is provided. If you need to buy your own for daily use, we’ll tell you exactly what to buy and where.
We Come To You.
Travel is included anywhere in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, or Leduc. Most foundational training transfers better in the dog’s own environment anyway.
Between Sessions.
Phone and text support during the program. Stuck on a homework drill? Something happened with the dog? You can reach out between sessions, not just during.
Why The Training Is Free.
The free dog training Edmonton program isn’t charity and it isn’t a loss leader. It’s a content investment. Theta K9 is building a library of real-case footage — aggression rehab, giant breed work, owner coaching, the full balanced training framework in action — for use on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and a future training course.
For that, the brand needs footage of real dogs and real owners doing real work. The free dog training Edmonton program is a fair trade: full programs at no cost, in exchange for permission to film and use the footage.
The boundaries are straightforward. Faces stay out of frame if you prefer. No personally identifying information is shared without consent. Footage is yours to view too, and you can flag any specific clip you want excluded. Reputable training programs often cost thousands; if a few hours of footage rights make the difference between getting help or not, most owners take that trade.
- › Sessions filmed by Willis or assistant
- › The dog is the subject, not you
- › Faces blurred or excluded on request
- › Names & addresses never shared
- › Specific clips can be excluded
- › You receive a copy of footage
About Free Dog Training Edmonton.
Is this really free? What’s the actual cost?
Zero dollars. No deposits, no “administrative fees,” no upgrade tiers. The free dog training Edmonton program covers the full training engagement — assessment, sessions, owner coaching, equipment, travel within the service area. The only exchange is permission to film for content use.
Do I have to be on camera?
No. Faces stay out of frame if you prefer it. The footage is about the dog and the training work — arms, leashes, handling technique, the dog’s behavior. Your face never has to appear. If you’d rather not be on camera at all, just say so at the assessment and we’ll shoot around it.
How long does the free program last?
Until Theta K9’s content library is built and the brand is established — likely months, not years. After that, in-person training moves to standard hourly rates and video consultations open at $120 per hour. If you want free dog training Edmonton sessions, the window is now.
Do you take everyone who applies?
No. The free dog training Edmonton program prioritizes cases that fit our specialty — giant breeds, aggression rehab, the kinds of dogs that produce educational content other trainers can’t replicate. Standard obedience programs are accepted on a space-available basis. We’ll be honest at the first conversation about whether your case is a fit.
What happens to the footage?
It’s used on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social channels, plus future educational content from Theta K9. Clips are edited for clarity and shared with context about what’s happening in the training. Names, addresses, and personally identifying information are never shared without explicit consent.
What if I want paid training instead?
Once the free dog training Edmonton program ends, paid training opens up. In-person rates will be standard hourly, and video consultations launch at $120/hour for owners outside Edmonton or who prefer remote work. If you don’t want filming involved at any cost, you’ll be able to skip the free program and start paid work directly when it launches.
The Window Closes Eventually.
Once Theta K9’s content library is built, the free dog training Edmonton program ends and paid rates take over. If your dog needs work and you can accept the filming trade, this is the easiest decision the next year of your dog’s life will see.
