These Classes are available to the general public, & we train all breeds.

 

At Precision K-9 Services our training follows an individual outline for each class offered, however we understand that every dog is different, & because we teach ONE ON ONE we are able to better serve you & your dogs needs.  If you have the need for a group situation we will provide a safe & proper environment for you & your dog. 

Our classes are tailored to flow into the next level of training (i.e. Basic into Advanced).  How you train your dog, (how you handle and correct) are preparing you both for the next level, & in turn, making it easier for you & your dog to learn.       

  • We train the dog to respond to the first command given.

  • We use praise & leash/collar correction methods during training.

  • We do not see any place for abuse in training, we do not hit, kick or smack dogs.  As working dog trainers for police, schutzhund, etc... in which these types of dogs must be very confident and obedient, we feel dogs must respect the owner, but you also need to build confidence in your dog.  Hitting or smacking a dog does not build confidence. Respect must go both ways.

  • Food motivation training is not often used in training the adult dog, we feel this type of training is best for the obedience training of puppies, used for focus on the sport dog, or just having fun teaching tricks, etc...  Food & toys are great tools if used properly & in conjunction with proper correction methods. If you want a showy A.K.C. or Schutzhund Obedience dog I like to use food/toy motivation along with praise & corrections.  A dog trained with only food motivation, probably won't listen to your commands when he isn't hungry, there is a big distraction, or he just don't feel like it right now.  How often do you carry food in your pockets? A lot of you have tried this method & you know what I'm talking about! 

     Our training gets results, and makes sense to you and your dog, at least that's what our customers tell us.....

Below is an example of the typical story we receive from our advanced clients.

Another Victory for Kip 3/06 (received via e-mail)

Hey Angie,

I wanted to tell you about the big thing Kip did yesterday. We were out in the yard last night playing around. I had her on her long line but no shock collar. We were originally just going to take a walk on the short lead but it was so nice we started playing, she dug after a few ground moles, etc. So I thought, well I'll let her drag around the long lead and do some refresher training stuff with her. So I changed leads and we played outside for another 20 minutes or so. After that, my boyfriend and I decided to sit on some lawn chairs and relax while she played and sniffed around. Then I decided to go inside and get something. I was going to leave her b/c Craig was outside and she wasn't too far from us. As I turned to go in she was just playing with a ball in the back yard when something caught her eye and in a flash she and the 30 ft. of lead were too far gone for me to get. I started to chase, my heart pounding b/c she'd never been without the shock collar or at a distance where I couldn't catch the lead if need be. I was getting a little scared I wouldn't get her back so I shouted "HEEL!!" She hesitated then turned and ran towards me. Then she decided she needed to chase again so I said heel one more time and began praising her like crazy. She actually came back. I couldn't believe it. So she got big time praise and a big greenie (she doesn't get those often) as a reward. Thank you, thank you for her training. If you hadn't taught me all that stuff she'd be gone. I don't know what she was chasing but I know I was so scared she wouldn't stop. Don't get me wrong if it hadn't been for those classes I wouldn't have even trusted her enough to be on the 30 foot lead unattached to anything else. There have been times when I yelled heel with the shock collar and nicked her but she still wouldn't return without some stronger shock so I figured she wouldn't come back without having that thing on. But she did. I was so surprised. I just wanted to thank you and let you know about her big victory. I'm so proud of her. It's one thing when she comes back b/c she had the shock collar on, but to completely come back on her own after being in full chase mode to me is amazing. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Rachel & Kippy
 

 In-Kennel

 

Sorry, as it stands now, unless a space opens, we are booked for the season. Please check availability, or contact us next year!

Would you like to have an obedient dog but find your life a bit to hectic for the everyday commitment of training your dog?  Or you are located to far from us to commute to class, and do not have a resource for proper training, near your location.  The in-kennel option is for you.  Let a professional train your dog, and at the end of your dog's stay we will teach you how to command and handle your dog.  With Basic and Advanced Obedience you will receive written instructions, a video of your dog working, information packet and receive training sessions.  You must be 100% committed to provide maintenance training after the dog returns home. We prefer that owners train their dogs through our other courses, however we realize that busy schedules can prevent an owner from attending classes.  In-kennel training is much like how Police Dogs are trained, the dog gets trained by a trainer then pared with a handler, the handler is taught how to work the dog, the new handler must continue to work the dog and thus gain respect from the dog as well as control of the dog..  It is possible for this type of training to work but you must work the dog after in-kennel is done. Training the dog initially is the hard part and most time consuming.  After in-kennel training, you will make the dog perform his commands in everyday life situations, thus doing his obedience everyday, but not taking too much time out of your schedule, so it is less time consuming for you.  If you have any questions about in-kennel training please call.

 Single Sessions

This service offers the customer single private sessions.  Over the years we have had many calls from people wanting help with such things as housebreaking, crate training, getting the dog to come off leash, etc...   Some people don't care if the dog sits on one command, or heels or any of the various things our other classes teach the dog.  You may want one or two things out of the dog, it may be an obedience command or behavioral issue.  Now you don't have to be committed to weeks of going to training classes.

 

 

 

  Tracking

A tracking dog can be a valuable addition to your family and community. The successfully trained dog can be used to find people that are lost, even your own children. Tracking also gives your dog outdoor exercise which is beneficial to it's overall health. Tracking is a natural ability that every dog has. This class is not only enjoyable to you, but to your dog also.
Age-2 months and up
Prerequisite--none

 

 

 

    

Personal Protection

As the population grows in our area, the crime rate sours bringing with it a greater need for home defense. Owning a gun is one answer, but a bullet shot in haste can't be called back. A home security system may fail to work, or you may fail to activate it.
A dog trained in protection may be the solution for you. Dogs trained by Precision K-9 Services are not taught to be aggressive at all times; they are taught to recognize a friendly situation versus an unfriendly one and show aggression on command. The dogs are not only taught to protect you at home but everywhere you go.  Ask to see a demonstration if truly interested.

Age-1 Year & up

Prerequisites--Basic, Advanced, & Temperament Test

                      

                                                                                             

  Temperament Test

Our temperament test is use to help us evaluate the dog that is showing aggressive behavior.  This test is also used for the evaluation of working ability (protection, search & rescue, etc...).  If you would like to do our TT & want know what is involved please call to discuss it. 

Age-1 Year & up

 

 

Behavior Problems / Aggression

behavior issues, including but not limited to, excitement, jumping, nipping, chewing, digging, barking, housebreaking, chasing, fear, anxiety, phobias, etc...

How we deal with Aggression will depend on the type of aggression problem you are having with your dog.  A temperament test may need to be performed, we suggest this with people aggression of any kind.  After the temperament test is performed then the course of action will be discussed. 

If your dog has Dog Aggression of any kind, then we suggest first you must become Alpha over the dog by way of obedience and other various methods, which are discussed in Obedience class.  Then the process of working with this issue can begin.
