Continued Training & Development Programs
Supporting Long-Term Progress, Balance, and Continued Growth
Available to Established Clients | Evaluation Required
Training does not end when a program is completed. IBK9’s Conditioning, Enrichment & Ongoing Development offerings are designed to support long-term progress, maintain reliability, and continue building confidence, balance, and engagement over time.
Based in Mesa, Arizona, and serving the greater Phoenix area, these programs are available to established clients and dogs who are ready for continued development beyond foundational training. Placement is determined through evaluation to ensure each option supports the dog’s emotional and physical well-being.
Programs may include private sessions, group-based classes, or structured enrichment opportunities depending on the specific offering and the dog’s training needs.
Our Philosophy on Continued Development
Ongoing training at IBK9 is not about repetition for the sake of activity.
We focus on:
-
Maintaining and strengthening previously learned skills
-
Supporting emotional regulation and confidence
-
Providing purposeful mental and physical outlets
-
Preventing regression during transitional life stages
-
Reinforcing structure through consistency and engagement
These programs are designed to complement foundational training and support dogs as they mature, change environments, or take on new challenges.
Conditioning, Enrichment & Continued Development Options
Hydro Paws
A structured water-based conditioning and confidence-building program designed to support physical development, coordination, and comfort around water. Hydro Paws is suitable for dogs learning to swim, building confidence, or benefiting from low-impact conditioning.
Group Classes
Structured group sessions designed to reinforce obedience, neutrality, and engagement around real-world distractions. Group classes are intended for dogs who are ready to work in a controlled group environment and are offered as part of select training paths or ongoing development.
Continued Education
Training Tune-Up Days provide focused reinforcement and enrichment for established clients. These sessions help maintain skills, address minor regressions, and provide structured engagement with familiar trainers.
À La Carte / Flex Training
Flexible training options designed for clients who need targeted support, additional guidance, or continued progress between structured programs. Flex Training allows for individualized focus while maintaining IBK9’s training standards and philosophy.
Is Ongoing Development Right for Your Dog?
Not every dog requires the same level of continued support. Through a free evaluation and temperament assessment, our team determines which ongoing options best support your dog’s training history, emotional balance, and future goals.
These programs are designed to enhance—not replace—foundational training and are best suited for dogs who have already completed an IBK9 program or equivalent preparation.
