About the Trainer, Ginny Seavy
K9 Games Inc. Dog Training Center

You can't replace experience!

Ginny Seavey started training her first dog in her teens on Long Island, NY. Rowdy, a standard smooth Dachshund, acquired his American Kennel Club (AKC) Companion Dog title in just four shows. She continued to show her dogs in AKC shows in NY and after she moved to Maine in 1971. Over the years Ginny has put many titles on her dogs of various breeds in AKC Breed, Obedience, Agility and most recently Obedience Rally competition. Ginny and her Border Collies, Bunny and Sal have also won titles in Canine Performance Events (CPE) in Agility.

Starting in the early 90's Ginny became very interested in the use of operant conditioning, counter conditioning, desensitization and classical conditioning. The use of these very effective positive reinforcement techniques are much easier and more fun for both the dog and the handler than the old compulsion method of he past. Ginny has attended many seminars and camps given by nationally recognized animal behaviorists and trainers over the years, to improve her skills and expand her knowledge of training dogs. She is also an avid reader on the subject of training and is always looking for new ideas to present the "Positive Reinforcement" method to her students. Ginny enjoys competing with her dogs, but her main goal is to teach the pet owner how to humanely shape their dog's behavior to create a wonderful companion that is easy to live with and is welcomed anywhere.
