The Working K9 & Ambassador

Vykor is the living embodiment of the BK9 Training philosophy: a high-drive, elite athlete with a flawless “off-switch.” Sourced from distinguished police apprehension lines, high level NVBK & KNPV sport lines, Vykor has spent his life proving that a world-class working dog can be both a fierce protector and a stable, reliable companion.

Vykor is a global demonstrator. He has traveled across Canada and Europe, working alongside internationally recognized top trainers to showcase the pinnacle of canine precision. Whether he is performing high-speed maneuvers or executing advanced obedience tasks, his work is defined by exceptional control and a deep understanding of complex commands with Becky.

For demonstration purposes, Vykor exhibits the art of “the strike” with incredible clarity. He has been worked by both nationally and internationally certified decoys, showing mastery across multiple targets:

Vykor’s most impressive trait is his ability to channel intense adrenaline into precision. While his genetics lean toward a natural intolerance for other dogs, his training allows him to switch instantly into “Task Mode.” He can work with high drive and focused intensity in close proximity to other animals, showcasing an incredible ability to prioritize the job over his natural instincts. This makes him a vital asset in the BK9 Training programs, providing a controlled, disciplined presence for advancing other dogs’ focus.

When he isn’t on a world stage, Vykor is a vigilant farm guardian in Lunenburg County. He keeps a watchful eye on our horses and chickens, providing a transparent, alert presence that ensures the safety of our property.

Beyond his “jobs,” he is the ultimate adventure partner. From the backcountry to the water, Vykor is a seasoned pro at:

Vykor represents the perfect balance of a high-performance working dog and a loyal, everyday companion. He is the heart of BK9, proving every day that with the right foundation, a dog can truly do it all.

About Becky:

Real-world neutrality in action. Featured here: Gracie (Golden Retriever), who overcame owner-directed aggression and lack of obedience; Angus (Yellow Lab), rehabilitated from fear reactivity caused by inconsistent communication and unclear training introductions; and Vykor, my Belgian Malinois working K9. From aggression to focus, we build reliability where it matters most.

Becky Annah is a multi-certified dog trainer and founder of BK9, with over 16 years of professional experience specializing in aggression, reactivity management, behaviour modification, puppy evaluation and advanced precision obedience for pet and working dogs.

She has developed deep expertise through direct collaborations with leading international trainers, including serving as the inaugural graduate and contributor to a pioneering advanced handler certification program—where she served as the designated aggression specialist and primary resource for aggression, reactivity, and complex behaviour cases. She continues to engage in peer-level exchanges on precision obedience and aggression management, as well as ongoing co-hosted workshops focused on real-world results.

In 2023, she travelled to Belgium for intensive training immersion: her dog Vykör was worked daily over two full weeks, performed in four live demonstrations per day during a five-day workshop event, and received advanced training under a world-class NVBK judge (Carlos) and a globally certified protection decoy. As a certified instructor for the Bootcamp, she contributed to high-level instruction and demonstrations in this elite setting. This hands-on proofing complements her gun dog desensitization background (evolving into broader working dog desensitization for noise, environment, and high-stimulation scenarios) and ongoing study of innovative, communication-driven training philosophies.

Becky and Brent (Certified National Decoy and Behaviour Modification Expert of CK9C Ontario) regularly co-hosts seminars & workshops for Protection & Obedience.

Her integrated approach delivers customized, effective in-home programs that prioritize safety, clear communication, the handler-dog bond, and lasting progress—particularly for challenging cases involving reactivity, bite history, and difficult behaviours.

Becky is passionate about empowering owners with practical, lifelong tools for success. She offers in-person services in Nova Scotia, online coaching worldwide, and collaborative events to advance the field of dog training. She is actively expanding her offerings to include specialized working puppy raising programs, pet raising programs, and security/protection dog training to support dogs in high-drive and protective roles.
