What do I need for a lesson?

A phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera, something to prop it against, your dog, and their favorite treats. A quiet room helps for the first session. Zak handles the rest.

How much does online dog training cost?

A flat $120 for an hour-long live lesson over video. There are no packages to buy up front: you book lessons as you go, and pay by Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle.

Can reactivity be addressed over video?

Assessment and structure, yes. A video call lets Zak see the environment, the triggers, and your handling, then build a management and training plan around them. Severe reactivity and aggression eventually benefit from in-person work, and virtual sessions make sure the time before that is not wasted.

Live, personal, and built around the dog in front of the camera: yours

Online dog training has a mixed reputation, and the prerecorded platforms earned it. Watching videos of someone else's dog is not coaching. Every KompK9 lesson is live, personal, and built around the dog in front of the camera: yours.

The right goals

What virtual training works well for

Obedience basics, leash manner foundations, jumping, door manners, crate and potty routines, and coaching between in-person programs. Online puppy training is a standout use: early puppy work is mostly owner training, and that translates over video perfectly. Zak can help you plan the day itself, too: when to train, when to play, and when your puppy should settle in the crate for a nap.

Serious cases

Online dog training for aggressive dogs

Serious behavior cases can start online, and sometimes should. A video call is a safe, low stress way for Zak to see the behavior in its real environment, understand the triggers, and give you an immediate management plan while you decide on next steps. For owners in the Annapolis area, virtual sessions often lead into the Behavioral tier of Stay & Train. For owners farther away, virtual coaching can be the difference between a plan and no plan at all.

Questions

Virtual training FAQ

Yes, for the right goals, because dog training is mostly people training. Zak’s job is teaching you timing, mechanics, and structure, and a video call does that well. Hands-on work like off-leash e-collar training still belongs in person, and Zak will tell you plainly if your situation calls for that instead.
