About Game On Dog Training

Game-based training in Davie

Game On Dog Training, also called Game On K9 Concept Training, is a Davie dog training business owned by Rosanne Calabrese, who runs group classes at its Davie Training Center at 5010 SW 73rd Ave. Its method is 100% positive, game-based concept training that focuses on the outcomes owners want rather than on the "bad" behavior, building concepts such as calmness, boundaries, disengagement, optimism, confidence and proximity. Rosanne came to training after more than 20 years running a holistic health practice and earlier work as a firefighter and acupuncture physician. Her dogs Roxie and Blink serve as demo dogs.
