About our Training Techniques

TKT POWERBREEDS has the opportunity to further Tyson’s mission of using dog training as a vehicle to show human connectivity. TKT will help dog owners around the world find confidence in their ability to control and live comfortably with their animals.

For Tyson Kilmer, training animals was a birthright. Raised in a rural community in B.C., Tyson worked with every type of animal from an early age, yet he always had a special affinity and gift for working with canines. Without anyone “teaching” him how to do it, Tyson expertly trained all his family’s dogs, and soon friends and neighbors were hiring him to do the same for their pets, especially those dogs that were unresponsive to traditional training methods.

With his own self-taught style, Tyson found that his system of dog and puppy obedience training was 100 percent effective regardless of the animal’s age, temperament or breed. He’s a no nonsense trainer and personality with intensive techniques that can only be described as part-training/part-therapy for both the dogs and their owners!  

Tyson most enjoys training dogs for everyone who wants to live in perfect harmony with their canine companions.

The TKT method of training covers all the basic commands – including “sit/stay,” “down/stay,” “come/stay” and the perfect “heel” – by use of hand signals, body movement and both verbal correction and praise. Moreover, the TKT Method puts equal focus on teaching the dog owner all the skills and lifestyle training necessary to insure a happy healthy owner-canine relationship, one that recognizes the importance of balance and mutual respect.

As Tyson always says, “A happy healthy dog is one that knows his or her place in the family tree.”
