Welcome to K9 Educational Institute

Imporving Dog and Guardian Bonds Since 1975

For a long time, dog owners have attended classes, met one-on-one with trainers, or enrolled their dog into training programs with the expectation their dog would be transformed into a well behaved canine companion.  More often than not, expectations are not met and these dog owners are back to square one seeking a better option.

At K9 Educational Institute, we are more than just nationally certified breeders of high pedigree working lines of dogs.  Our Dog Training Camp was founded by Eric Poulin in 2007 with the idea that dog owners needed a program that provided more than just conventional obedience training.  We called this training idea Doggy Boot Camp. This program is unique and unmatched by anything we have seen nationwide.  It is an innovative program that teaches dogs to be well behaved in public places, to run on a human treadmill, to respond to commands under distraction, and to work as a team with their owner.  In our more advanced courses, we help transform your family pet into your protector and guardian.

To date we have received dogs for training from all over North America.  We have provided dog training for professional athletes, for security companies, as well as for several departments of Law Enforcement. The success of our board and train program continues to grow.

Our home and training base is located in Ste-Justine de Newton,  Québec on 10 acres of pristine wood lands. We have a 3800 sq/ft climate-controlled indoor kennel area; a 3600 sq. ft. training building; groomed walking trails, and 10,000+ sq/ft of fenced play areas. This environment creates a peaceful retreat for dogs to run, play, and socialize within the safety of fenced and gated areas.
