About Positive K9 Obedience Training

Reward-based training

Positive K9 Obedience Training uses science-backed, reward-based methods tailored to each dog's motivators, from puppy foundations to advanced obedience and behavior work. The site states that harsh or punitive techniques are avoided.

Classes

Six-week group programs include an AKC Fit Dog strength and stability class, Tricks and Agility Foundations with jumps, tunnels and contacts, and a Therapy Dog Track built on AKC CGC, Community and Urban skills. Polite Play Pals is a trainer-supervised small-group play session that teaches owners when to let play continue and when to step in. Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Manners and Advanced Skills (CGC prep) are listed as coming soon.

Behavior work

Private behavior modification covers leash reactivity, separation anxiety and fear or shyness, using positive reinforcement, emotional safety and incremental progress.
