What is In-Center Training?
In-Center Training (ICT) is a program which was developed by K9 Working Dogs to greatly maximize the skills your dog learns, as well as shorten the learning life-cycle and education your dog receives. Your dog will stay with a K9 Working Dogs Certified Trainer for an extended period of time. After the training is completed you will be instructed on how to properly handle and maintain your dogs new skills.
