How Do We Train Dogs? Our training methods are based on "Positive Reinforcement" (i.e. training with treats/toys). The rationale behind our method of training is that it is unfair to correct a dog when he does not know what he is supposed to do. We teach you how to work with your dog's inherent "drives" (i.e. food, play, prey), and use them for obedience, rather than struggling against and trying to modify "who" your dogs is instinctively. This type of approach has produced extraordinary success in achieving greater reliability and enthusiasm for the work! |

Cool K9's Obedience Training Classes: |
|
Puppy Kindergarten Get started on the right foot! Imprinting obedience on your new family addition will make proofing (perfecting) obedience on your all-too-soon adult dog so much easier! This course covers basic obedience commands, behavioral problems, communication, canine psychology, and bonding. Particular emphasis is placed on attention and the recall (lifesaver!). Every class also includes important socialization time for your puppy (and his owners)! Puppies ranging from the ages of 9 weeks to 6 months are welcome for this course. |
