About Jivin’ Dog Training and Agility

Training and agility in Kenly

Jivin' Dog Training and Agility is based in Kenly, NC and offers its services in Johnston County, eastern Wake County and the surrounding areas. Its approach rests on positive reinforcement, exercise, enrichment, management and communication.

Lessons

Work starts with an in-home initial consult of about 1.5 to 2 hours, followed by a customized training plan and written homework. Private follow-up lessons and behavior modification lessons build on that plan. Agility lessons are held in a field at the trainer's home and cover puppy foundations, obstacle training and advanced skills.

Puppies and boarding

A puppy board and train of one to two weeks works on housetraining, crate training, nipping and basic manners, with a follow-up lesson each week. The site also mentions boarding on a 50-acre fenced farm.

Background

The trainer lists more than 23 years of training, a licensed vet tech credential, CPDT certification since 2003, membership in APDT and IAABC, and CGC and AKC Trick Dog evaluator status, plus national-level agility competition.
