K2K9 Resources to help you reach your training goals
What class is right for my dog?
Training with your dog should be fun for both of you. It is a great idea to learn the basic skills (sit, down, stay, loose leash-walking).
After that, have some fun with your dog. We offer scent classes, trick dog classes, canine conditioning, recall workshops, and many other fun classes that will keep your dog excited about training.
Spark your dogs joy, do something new with them!

​
Are there books that you can recommend?
Yes! There are lots of excellent books out there to supplement the training you are doing at home and with us.
The trick is finding books that will provide ethical and effective guidance on how to address your issue or area of interest--not to mention books that are well written.

To help, K2K9 has started a Recommended Reading page.

Treats 101: Choices that will take your training to the next level
Not all treats are created equal and when it comes to training and treats, presentation is everything.
Treats should be something special that your dog only gets during training sessions. Portion or cut them into small, bite-size pieces so they can be eaten easily and quickly and you are not filling your pup's tummy up. It is not the size of the treat, it is the value. A small pea-sized piece of cheese has a higher value than a bigger piece of kibble.
Treat suggestions:
-
string cheese
-
hot dogs
-
chicken
-
baby food , peanut butter, or cream cheese in a squeeze tube
