Train the Trainer MASTERCLASS

Are you a dog trainer or want to be? Many people struggle to find the education they need to feel confident working with clients dogs.

There are some great courses available these days, and some not so great, but how do you take that information and put it into a live training session with the dog and or the client?

If that is you, our “Train the Trainer” Masterclasses may be just what you need.

These lessons are delivered by Steve Courtney and Rebecca Chin at K9Pro and also over Zoom between actual in person lessons.

They are private classes for you and you alone or should you wish to have a partner or friend attend with you, we can do that too.

We conduct these lessons in our private air-conditioned training room and on our 7 acres of private land.

Here we have on hand all the resources we need to help you learn the concepts of dog training, handling, and rehabilitation.


Lessons are theory and practical inclusive and you can ask as many questions as you like and its quite common to head down rabbit holes during the theory and practical sessions, so feel free to explore and ask what you need.

We will provide multiple dogs for you to watch and work with, to support your Masterclass topics.

You can also bring your own dog or a clients dog along if you like.

This is your chance to learn from highly experienced and successful trainers and get the inside track on how we get results.

No politics, just team work and progress!

Learning how to deliver a lesson or consultation

Assessment and Diagnostic procedures
