About High IQ K9 Sports Center

Positive reinforcement dog sports in Brashear

High IQ K9 Sports Center is a dog training center in Brashear run by owner and trainer Andrea Meinhart. Every class rests on positive reinforcement (R+), and the center practices only R+, rewarding behaviors with treats and praise so dogs become partners in learning. Owners learn the skill of timing so they reinforce the right behavior at the right moment. Andrea's view is that anxiety, destructive chewing, digging and repetitive barking are often signs of boredom or stress, and that training gives dogs much-needed mental enrichment.

Classes

The center teaches puppy classes, obedience, rally, agility, conformation and scent work, and Andrea also works one on one with owners over several weeks.

What owners say

One client wrote that after a puppy class "we were able to manage each stage with ease," and later moved on to agility. Another, whose dog had shut down after harsh training, wrote that "she is trusting me again and we will soon resume trialing in obedience."
