K905 Dog Training specializes in the rehabilitation of Reactive and Aggressive Dogs. Reactivity is one of the most common behavioural issues owners face with their dog, and we have the solution!
Reactive and aggressive dogs are not broken, they are misunderstood, undertrained, or both. K905 specialises in rehabilitation for dogs that lunge, bark, snap, or show aggression toward other dogs, people, or animals. We work with cases other trainers in Halton turn away, and we do not judge a dog by its history, breed, or past failures with other trainers.
Reactivity rehabilitation at K905 is delivered where it matters, at your home, on your street, in your local park. Not in a controlled facility environment that bears no resemblance to your dog’s daily life. Real environments produce results that hold up when you walk out your front door.
Whether your dog’s reactivity is mild or severe, and whether you choose private lessons or a board and train program, we evaluate every dog individually before recommending a program. You will always know exactly what to expect before training begins.
Designed for Reactive dogs who it’s bark, lung, or overreact to dogs, people, or other triggers. Over 8 In Home Lessons you will learn how to manage your dog safely while working to change their response to distractions by sharpening their engagement and control.

Serving the growing communities of Halton with
trusted, results-driven dog training tailored to
every dog’s unique needs.
A reactive dog overreacts to specific triggers — other dogs, strangers, loud noises — with barking, lunging, or pulling. The behaviour is driven by frustration, anxiety, or overstimulation, not intent to harm.
An aggressive dog displays behaviour with intent — growling, snapping, or biting directed at a person, animal, or object. Aggression can stem from fear, resource guarding, territoriality, pain, or redirected frustration.
Both conditions require specialist training, but the approach differs significantly depending on the root cause. K905 evaluates every dog individually before recommending a program — there is no one-size-fits-all solution for reactivity or aggression.

“I can’t recommend Michael enough. He was absolutely amazing with my Belgian Malinois Milo. Anyone familiar with the breed knows how intelligent, driven, and demanding they can be, and Michael really understands how to work with them. His methods were clear, effective, and tailored to my dog’s specific needs. He took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt confident continuing the work at home.” A. Sugrim Belgian Malinois · Private Lessons
“I have a fear reactive German Shepherd and reached out as she was very difficult to control around other dogs. After 6 weeks of at-home training with Michael, I can now have Twilight around other dogs and bring her to public places. I will always recommend K905 to anyone!” Natacha M. Fear-Reactive German Shepherd · 6 weeks in-home
“We were completely overwhelmed after 18 months of trying on our own with busy jobs and two young children. After 4 weeks K905 addressed every behaviour we struggled with and gave us the tools and confidence to maintain progress at home. Our only regret is not doing this training sooner!” Amanda H. Reactive Dog · Board & Train 4 weeks
“I was struggling to find someone who could handle my dog’s reactive personality. After the first week I could see a dramatic change that I attribute solely to the training philosophy and knowledge that Michael brings to the profession. I highly recommend Michael for ANY of your dog training needs.” Lindsay Reactive Dog · Private Lessons
“Michael helped me with my two adopted dogs. They were emotionally and physically abused and were not very trusting. Now I have happy pups that enjoy the walks and outings in general. Excellent training.” R. Obeid Rescue Dogs · Private Lessons
“Michael is awesome to work with. He explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand and he has really helped build my German Shepherd’s confidence. He always makes sure he has time for my girl and I when we’re in town.” Taylor P. German Shepherd · Private Lessons
We sought training for our GoldenDoodle Murphy to help dampen some aggressive behaviour with other dogs and his mom. Michael at K905 had the experience and temperament to train both Murphy and us! My wife and I would highly recommend K905 to any dog owners. Thanks again Michael!
I truly don’t think we would have been able to keep her without his help. He’s been a lifesaver for our family, and I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with their dog. Our then 13-month-old Golden Retriever was out of control. After trying several trainers with no success, we were at our wits’ end. In just eight weeks, he completely turned things around. His patience, guidance, and deep understanding of dog behaviour made all the difference. We now have a well-behaved, reliable, and loving family dog.
Michael is one of the best trainers to go to if you’re looking for help with your pet dog, sport or protection dog or looking to level up as a trainer or decoy. Would recommend to anyone! I participated in his decoy workshop this weekend and learned so much and the hands-on experience is unbeatable.
We could not have asked for a better experience with K905 Dog Training for our Mini Cockapoo puppy. Michael was very kind, professional, respectful and helped to educate us to ensure we were choosing the right training program for our puppy. Chloe is now able to walk loosely on her leash without reactivity to other dogs, sit down, stay in her bed and has crate manners. I no longer have a puppy that barks when I leave the room. I would recommend K905 Dog Training as it definitely changed our lives with our puppy for the better!
We hired Michael to help us with our 2 senior dogs, but decided to also add on puppy training for our new (and very anxious) Australian Shepherd. Michael was so amazing! We saw significant progress so quickly. His knowledge, flexibility, and quick responses have really helped us set up a solid foundation for training and we feel confident in our ability to maintain the skills that he taught us. Thank you, Michael. We would 100% recommend k905!
My Dog Hezzi is an overexcited, high energy American Bully. We had Michael come over for one private lesson and he explained our dog’s behaviour to us and how to help manage it. After that we saw so much improvement from just one lesson, we decided to sign our dog up for board and train and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. Michael trains the dog at his home, so we were never worried about whether our dog was alone in a kennel for hours on end. Best decision we made.
I would highly recommend K905 Dog Training! Before I even enrolled my 6-month-old Labrador Retriever in the Reactivity Reboot program, Mike took the time to answer all of my questions. The Reactivity Reboot program made an incredible difference in my puppy’s behaviour. I saw immense improvement in his ability to remain calm, focused, and responsive. Since completing the program, we’ve received countless compliments from strangers on how well-behaved my dog is. I can’t recommend K905 Dog Training enough.
Working with Michael was an absolute privilege. When he brought dogs over for my unit, his level of skill and understanding, both with working dogs and everyday pet training, was seriously impressive. As someone who runs a dog-training business here in Australia, I don’t say this lightly: Michael’s knowledge, timing, and structure are next level. The results he gets speak for themselves. If you want genuine transformation with your dog, K905 is the real deal.
