Get Started!

Imagine a dog that can relax calmly by your side and, in the next moment, give you full focus and energy when you ask. That’s not luck, it’s the result of clear communication, trust, and the right skills.

The STSK9 Method shows you how to build this with your own dog. No matter the breed, size, or age, you’ll learn to work with your dog’s instincts and develop a bond that lasts a lifetime and making it possible to take your dog anywhere with confidence.

What if you could take your dog anywhere

That’s not luck, it’s the result of clear communication, trust, and the right skills. The STSK9 Method shows you how to build this with your own dog.

Every dog owner runs into challenges. The difference is that most methods try to fix the dog with corrections, gadgets, or endless repetitions.
At STSK9, we flip the script: we train you first. Once your skills are clear, your dog follows with structure, focus, and drive.

Here’s how MVP changes the most common struggles:

If your dog pulls on leash, you’re not alone.

In this MVP coaching call, Nino answers a student’s question on leash pulling and shares that with clear structure and the right exercises, you can learn how to guide your dog into walking with focus and connection, and how to make leash pulling a thing of the past.

 

Why Most Training Doesn’t Work Long-Term

Most training programs only focus on the dog. But if the handler is unclear, frustrated, or inconsistent, even the best-trained dog will eventually fall apart.

At MVP, we flip the script. We coach you as much as your dog developing your handler skills so you become a better trainer, a better communicator, and a more confident leader. Because long-term change doesn’t come from commands it comes from clarity, understanding, and connection.

Start Your Journey

The MVP program is organized into pillars. Focused areas of learning that make the process clear and easy to follow. Each pillar is broken into levels (1, 2, and 3), so you’ll always know exactly where to begin and how to move forward step by step. You’ll start at Level 1 across all pillars, building your own skills and your dog’s foundation together. As you progress, you move through the higher levels, gaining clarity, control, and precision at every stage.

For those ready to go further, MVP offers advanced chapters that dive into specialty topics and real-world applications. These give you tools to refine details, troubleshoot challenges, and push your skills beyond the basics.

1. The MVP Student Guide & Onboarding Experience

When you join MVP, you immediately get access to the full library of video lessons so you can start exploring the program right away. Soon after, you’ll receive the MVP Student Guide,  a manual designed to give you structure, clarity, and a clear roadmap through MVP. With program maps, command breakdowns, progress explanations, quick references, and training schedules, the guide ensures you always know where you are, what to focus on, and how to move forward. In your first week, you’ll also join a live onboarding call with Nino or Laura, giving you a personal start to the program and the chance to ask questions directly. This combination sets you up with clarity and confidence from day one.

2. Inside Every Pillar

Every pillar follows the same clear structure so you can learn, understand, and apply with confidence:

• Theory – simple explanations of the concepts

• Practical Application – real-life training sessions that show exactly how to apply them

• Full Training Sessions – see the flow in action

• Video Analysis – slow-motion breakdowns with info graphics to make everything crystal clear

This way, you’re never left guessing. From your very first session to advanced levels, the program walks you through each step with structure and clarity.

3. Coaching Calls and Personalized Feedback

Train with real support. You’re never on your own inside MVP. From day one, you’ll join an active community of fellow students, supportive graduates, and our STSK9 coaches all ready to share experience, answer questions, and give feedback on your progress. With real people guiding you every step, you’ll move forward faster and with more confidence than training alone and you’ll always know you have a place to turn for support.

The MVP Program is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re starting out with your very first dog or building on years of handling experience.

You don’t need to be a professional to succeed here; the system is built for everyday owners just as much as for aspiring or active trainers. Along the way, you’ll complete guided assignments that naturally weave into your progress, giving you the chance to showcase your skills, receive direct feedback, and learn from the journey of others. For those who enjoy setting milestones, the certification path is there as an encouraging way to mark your growth and gain recognition, but it’s never a requirement.

More than anything, the program is about clarity, connection, and control, practical results that stay with you well beyond the certificate.

Whether you’re just starting out or pushing for mastery, this program gives you the structure and support to become the handler your dog truly needs.

MEET NINO

Hello, I'm Nino, the founder of the STSK9 Method and head trainer. I'll be coaching you through my system, which focuses on developing a unique combination of skills that I've carefully crafted for the Master View Path.

With over 20 years of experience as a Police K9 instructor, team leader, and handler, l've built K9 teams from the ground up and trained handlers to excel in high-stakes environments.

Now I'm dedicating my entire focus to helping handlers and owners around the world master these skills so they can train their dogs better, faster, and more efficiently.

MEET LAURA

Hi, I'm Laura! My journey started as an MVP student with my three year old Golden Retriever, who didn't have a strong drive at the start. I quickly fell in love with the STSK9 method, took it seriously, and gained all the skills I needed to achieve extraordinary results in just six months. Thanks to MVP, I now train high drive working dogs at the STSK9 facility and coach students through the MVP course.

Before diving into dog training, I worked as a step aerobics coach with women from ages 16 to 70 and as a choreographer and dance instructor for kids competing in performance teams.

That experience taught me how to break down even the most complex movements into simple, understandable steps. It gave me a deep understanding of how to explain, demonstrate and guide people through physical learning, skills I now use every day to help students succeed with their dogs. I'm excited to support you on this journey!

 

How we deal with reactivity

If your dog lunges, barks, growls, or can’t focus around distractions—you’re not alone. But here’s the truth most trainers won’t tell you: reactivity isn’t the problem—your training approach is.


Reactivity isn’t a flaw. It’s drive, misdirected. And if your only tool is correction, you’re not solving it—you’re hiding it. We teach you how to channel your dog’s energy, build focus under pressure, and create a dog that wants to work with you, even in chaos.Stop trying to shut it down. Learn how to work with your dog.

Why Your Dog’s Reactivity Isn’t the Problem, Your Training Is

When a dog reacts, lunging at cars, barking at strangers, chasing bikes, most handlers make the same critical mistake. They see the behavior as the enemy. They suppress, correct, and micromanage, believing that if they can just stop the outbursts, they’ll have a "trained" dog.

This approach fails every time.

Reactivity Is Not a Defect, It’s Instinct

A dog that reacts is not broken. He is doing exactly what his genetics demand: chasing movement, alerting to intruders, defending territory. The problem isn’t the dog’s impulses, it’s your inability to redirect them.

If your only strategy is “stop,” you’ve already lost.

Corrections Create Compliance, Not Commitment

Traditional training relies on force: leash pops, verbal reprimands, punishment. The result? A dog that obeys out of fear, not loyalty. He may appear trained, but the moment pressure disappears, so does his focus.

This is not control. This is coercion.

The Solution: Replace, Don’t Repress

A dog will always choose the most rewarding option. If chasing a bike is more exciting than walking beside you, he will chase. Your job is not to suppress his drive, it’s to make your side of the leash irresistible.

  • Build obsessions. Play becomes work. Rewards become non-negotiable.

  • Let him look. Exposure without reaction teaches self-control.

  • Demand engagement. He doesn’t heel because he has to, he does it because he wants to.

This is not optional. It is the foundation of real obedience.

Timeline: 3–6 Months to Achieve

You will not fix reactivity in weeks. You will not suppress it with gadgets or harsh corrections. Lasting change takes 3–6 months of disciplined, value-driven training.

This is not a suggestion. It is a requirement.

 

 

Extreme Cases. No Excuses.

I’ve trained police dogs that would attack each other on sight. Yet they learned to work in formation, ignore gunfire, and obey under chaos. If a dog that is aggressive can be conditioned for precision, your pet has no excuse.

The issue is never the dog. It is always the handler.
