Using Reward Based Methods

K9 Behave is looking for a new larger location to hold classes in

• Etiquette (manners), - whatever you want to call it these classes offer direction on how to train your dog in everyday and real life ability to live within the family or household. While the classes cover the basics of sit, down, come, loose lead walking and more they also are tailored to the individual requirements of the students. Many students start here if they are interested in service work, pet therapy, canine good neighbour or just a good dog.
• Rally Obedience - very briefly Rally Obedience is a fun and exciting team sport for dogs (mixed and purebred) and their handlers! The Dog and Handler team navigate a course with over ten numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform such as Sit-Down-Sit, Figure 8, recall, front and finishes. Emphasis is on fun and teamwork - handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance.
  
  Students have had a great deal of success with this class - congratulations Janice who qualified three out of four rounds with her two terriers!
  For rules and information on Rally see APDT, CARO, and CKC.
  
  
• Canine Freestyle (Dog Dancing) -"The Musical Dog Sport Association defines Canine Freestyle as a dog sport in which training, teamwork, music and movement combine to create an artistic, choreographed performance highlighting the canine partner in a manner that celebrates the unique qualities of each individual dog. It is built upon the foundation of a positive working relationship of a dog and handler team";
  WCFO - "Musical Freestyle is a choreographed musical program performed by handlers and their dogs. The object of musical freestyle is to display the dog and handler in a creative, innovative and original dance, using music and intricate movements to showcase teamwork, artistry, costuming, athleticism and style in interpreting the theme of the music. Heelwork-to-Music incorporates traditional dog obedience and the art of dressage with the inclusion of musical interpretation, dance elements, and costuming with an emphasis on non-standard obedience movements. Both Musical Freestyle and Heelwork-To-Music routines should create a visually exciting display which is enjoyable to watch and which is equally enjoyable to dogs and handlers executing the programs. Canine freestyle is a showcase that truly demonstrates the joys and fun of bonding with your pet."
  See MDSA, WCFO, Paws 2 Dance - BC Canada, and/or CFO for more information.
• and Tricks - this class provides you everything you need to start training your dog. Tricks can be used to prepare for canine freestyle, sports activities, and entertainment. For those interested in pet therapy with children or seniors "tricks" can be an excellent way to bridge the gap between dog and person.
