Obedience Training
K9 Games Inc. Dog Training Center
Good Owners, Great Dogs
It starts with you...
Dogs are social animals that rely on human cues and contact.
They learn best when they get positive reinforcement (rewards)
for desirable behavior.
When you train by shaping your dog's behavior one step at
a time, your dog works happily, because he understands what
you want and the results are long lasting.
Proven Training Methods...
K9 Games Inc. uses training techniques that
combine gentle guidance with rewards, to shape behavior, helping
you to build a trusting relationship with your dog while you
teach behaviors you can rely on.
The time you spend training your dog is an investment
that yields a great canine companion.

Basic Training 101 & 102 or similar recognized courses
are prerequisites to the more advanced obedience courses.
The skills that are learned in this class need not
only be used in competition, but are very useful
tools in every day life. Rally is a sport in which the dog
and handler complete a course designed by the Rally Judge.
The dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course
of designated stations (10-20 depending on the level). Each
of these station has a sign designating the next skill to
be performed. There should be a sense of team work between
dog and handler both during the numbered exercised and between
the exercise signs. This class is limited to 7 dogs for 7
weeks.
