About STSK9

STSK9 is an online dog training course business with a Virginia address; what it sells is remote instruction.

What they sell

The core claim is a system rather than a service: "STSK9™ is a proven training system for beginners, trainers, and pros who want real results without harsh methods." The published course list includes an MVP Certification program, Puppy University (with a Spanish version, Programa Puppy University En Español), Positive-Only Heeling Styles, Drive and Focus, The Out, and a PPD Program. The newest of these is a personal protection course, described as a way to "train your dog to become a personal protection dog from the comfort of your own home". Free material is also offered – an e-book, a webinar, and an MVP Mastermind Seminar listed at 297 dollars but given free.

How they frame the training

The pitch is explicitly method-first and location-independent: "Master powerful techniques without conflict or force. Train anywhere — even from home. Create a confident, obedient, and reliable dog." The course format is described as "demonstrations, instruction, and the tutorials you need", watchable "on demand with open access to all course material".

Who runs it

The site is built around one named person, Nino Drowaert, who has his own section in the navigation. The protection course describes him as "a National K9 Police Handler & Instructor". That is a role the business states about him rather than a certification; ask which body certified him if it matters to you.

For a local owner

Ask whether any in-person training is offered – private lessons, a facility, class times or board and train. What is on offer is remote coursework, including for professional trainers.
