With Tim’s ongoing support and guidance, Courtney became an Explosive Detection Handler Dog Team for the Ottawa Airport and was certified through Transport Canada from 2021-2023.

Tim has an impressive background as a former Improvised Explosive Device Detection Dog handler in the United States Marine Corps. At the head of the patrol, Tim and his dog, Sage, ensured the safety of the Marines that followed. Tim tried many different avenues to continue working with dogs while still enlisted, but with the drawdown of the war in Afghanistan, options were limited. Tim found his calling while working with Sage in Afghanistan and made the hard choice to leave the Marine Corps in 2014 to pursue other dog training opportunities. After his military service, Tim pursued his passion for dog training by attending a professional school for dog trainers. There, he excelled in various areas of study, including pet obedience, AKC and Schutzhund obedience, specific odor detection, search and rescue, Schutzhund tracking, protection, and agility. Upon completing his schooling, Tim began working for PROFORMANCE K9 in 2015 under world renowned dog trainer, Deb Zappia. Nine years later and hundreds of dogs trained, Tim took over PROFORMANCE K9 upon Deb’s retirement in 2022. Outside of pet obedience, Tim is a national competitor for American Schutzhund, of which he is also a founding member and judge. Tim also is a judge and instructor for scent-work sports and continues his education in dog training and behavior by attending seminars on a monthly basis. Tim's expertise extends to working with family dogs of different breeds, ages and sizes, where he focuses on basic obedience training along with issues regarding dog aggression, aggression towards people and resource guarding. He takes pride in collaborating with pet owners to develop a training regimen that suits both the handler and the dog, with a focus on maintaining a positive attitude, building confidence and improving the relationships between families and their dogs! With Tim leading the pack at PROFORMANCE K9, you can expect exceptional training and guidance for your beloved companion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/1706712614487-IPZ3O4RXZBECZ2Y843NS/dog+training+and+boarding.png Our Team https://www.proformancek9pets.com/training daily 0.75 2025-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/f1d84912-1dcb-477e-8c5a-d445337b22b5/20191227_185654_Original.jpg Board and Train/Private Lessons - Benefits of Dog Training Dog training offers a wealth of benefits that extend well beyond simply teaching your furry friend a few commands. Engaging in training not only enhances your dog's behavior but also significantly improves the overall quality of life for both pets and their owners. Invest time and effort into dog training for: Improved Manners: A well-trained dog displays better manners, making outings and interactions more enjoyable. Reduction of Behavioral Issues: Training can significantly reduce common behavioral problems such as excessive barking, chewing, digging, and jumping. Easier Integration Into Family Life: A trained dog is often more comfortable around children, guests, and other pets, allowing for smoother family dynamics. Stronger Bond With Your Pet: Through consistent training practices, you establish a deeper connection with your dog built on mutual respect and understanding. Mental Stimulation: A mentally stimulated dog is less likely to develop anxiety and boredom-related issues, leading to a happier and more fulfilled life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/5466c98b-824e-4729-8c3e-b28f094d6431/F4AF74E2-D5CB-424D-9167-8954A2AE43A8.jpg Board and Train/Private Lessons - Make it stand out Aarlo, the Bernese Mountain Dog, during his stay at Performance K9’s board and train program! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/5da9bae7-1d3f-44f4-8558-e535d38887e9/tempImagemBAkXm.jpg Board and Train/Private Lessons - Make it stand out Goose, the Golden Retriever puppy, during her stay and Performance K9’s Board and Train Program! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/77f45a8d-4092-4b44-9798-9da30310eb56/IMG_2232_Original.jpg Board and Train/Private Lessons - Common Training Challenges While dog training can be rewarding, it’s not without its challenges. Common issues can include distractions in the environment, inconsistencies in commands, and varying attention spans depending on the dog’s age or breed. Some dogs may exhibit stubbornness when learning new commands, while others may struggle with socialization in crowded or unfamiliar environments. Recognizing these challenges early can help you adapt your training approach. Seeking professional guidance, like the services offered at PROFORMANCE K9, can provide you with tailored strategies and support to overcome these obstacles! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/1726761298189-WTHMXRA37E1WW7FL54J9/image-asset.jpg Board and Train/Private Lessons https://www.proformancek9pets.com/dog-boarding daily 0.75 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588fa891be659497406e6cc3/f102964b-8293-45a6-8baa-c079effe9130/safe.jpg Boarding - Overnight Dog Care with Peace of Mind Our overnight dog boarding services are tailored to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
