Give you and your puppy the very best chance for a perfect life together!

​The only way to do that is to learn how to communicate with dogs, it is the most important part of the course, if you can not communicate with your pup you can not teach them to do anything 

Access to the latest research keeps KURI up to date with Neurological mapping techniques that allow us to teach you how to communicate with your pup at a level we have never been able to achieve until 12 months ago

At KURI we place the emphasis on teaching you to become teachers, learning to read your pup's body language and teaching you how to correct behaviours without shouting, or saying “NO”, so you are able to reinforce any behaviour you would like to occur again, or stop the behaviour you do not like in an appropriate way. You are taught how to teach them what to do because as we all know, a lack of knowledge leads humans to resort to violence, something you will never do under our instruction at KURI 

​Current research proves you own the 2nd most intelligent species on the planet (your dog), allegedly humans are number 1?  By the age of 12 weeks they have a fully mature adult brain, capable of learning to read over a 1,000 words, so KURI strive to help you achieve the very best from your dog. 
Seeing is believing, so we would love you to come and join us on a journey of discovery in to a world of intelligence and cognitive ability no one really understood until we finally decided to study them

I have always known the dogs I co-habited with for the last 25 years were way better than me, you too will see just how much they are capable of with your new understanding and knowledge. That knowledge is passed on to you here at KURI

All Puppy Foundation courses end with an official graduation. So long as you complete your homework! Yes there is an expectation you continue to teach your dog every day

So enrol now and enjoy the next 15 to 17 years with your newly adopted family member.

KURI embodies AKORANGA by providing an environment for you to learn about the health and welfare of dogs. Just imagine being able to communicate at levels up to 100% of your pups language, anything is possible.

We will start tracking by using lead and harness and then move on to a tracking cord.
