Obedience Training

Obedience training is a gift for yourself, your household and your dog. Obedience training teaches your canine how to socialize with others – human and dogs, helps correct behaviors and creates a structured happy environment for your canine.

Once your dog is trained, you may want to further your experience and train to compete in AKC Obedience Trials or Specialty Trials.

Rally Training

Although similar to Obedience Training, rally is a fun way to compete while communicating with your canine throughout the trials. In traditional Obedience Trials, dogs are expected to perform with little owner input. Rally allows for owners and canine interaction throughout the trial(s).

Tracking

Ever wonder why your dog is so nosey? Their keen sense of smell – 100,000 times more than a human, is ideal for the sport of Tracking. This skill is used for search and rescue, and many other aspects of life. Your K9 Trainer teaches owners and their dogs to track for scents, and prepare for AKC Tracking competitions.
