Training Programs
Structured training for puppies, family companions, and dogs that need obedience, confidence, neutrality, and real-life control.
ICONK9 does not sell fixed training packages: the program is built after a structured evaluation. Testing fees are a guide — Level 1 puppies $250 (3 days, 6+ sessions), Level 2 young dogs $1,000 (5–7 days), Level 3 mature dogs $2,000 (7–10 days), Level 4 custom quote, Level 5 by application. Training after testing starts from about $1,000; facility stay, food, transport and taxes are separate. Campuses in Nokesville, VA and Istanbul.

Every Program Starts With Evaluation
Before training begins, ICONK9 evaluates the dog's age, temperament, behavior history, family structure, handler ability, and real-life goals. The final training path is selected after testing, not before.
Dog Assessment
Age, temperament, confidence, drives, and behavior history.
Family & Handler Review
Home structure, handler skill, lifestyle, and daily expectations.
Program Recommendation
The correct level and training direction are selected after evaluation.
Training Programs Begin With Testing
A family may describe the issue as aggression, disobedience, housebreaking, fear, or lack of control. In many cases, the visible complaint is only the surface. The correct training path is assigned after testing — not selected from a simple menu.
