Dog Obedience Training

This is the core of all dog training, without good basic obedience a dog cannot receive any meaningful advanced training. The long term benefits of a well trained dog will be seen and appreciated by their owner on a daily basis.

We offer the following dog obedience training options:


Group classes on a rotating basis.
Classes offered include Puppy Kindergarten, CGC, Basic Obedience, and Competition Obedience. All classes run a total of eight weeks and occur on a rotating basis.

Individual training on a strict one-to-one basis.
Group Training classes are perfect initial obedience levels, but for real training - that meets your and your dog's personal needs - you need individualized, one-on-one time.

In-home Dog Training.
We offer the highest level of in-home dog training available today. During this training your dog will stay in my home and be trained a minimum of three sessions a day. Your dog will receive the same attention and affection that I provide to my own competition Schutzhund dogs, not just left in a kennel like most of my competitors. Most dogs make rapid progress with this type of training when in the hands of a skilled professional. At the end of the training the owner is required to spend two (2) days of training along side the trainer to learn proper handling techniques for their specific dog.

Behavior Modification

Behavior Modification is the number one form of dog training requested by owners. A dog with "bad manners" can be a pain to live with and is the number one reason that most dogs are surrendered to an animal shelter. Most behavioral problems can be eliminated or diminished with proper training and education of the owner. This training usually requires in-home training but depends entirely on the severity of the problem. Training of aggressive dogs falls into this category. We have expertise in the treatment of aggressive dogs and offer evaluation and training of this type of problem on an ongoing basis.

Protection Training

The protection training of dogs is an art and is usually not well understood by owners or even by many of the dog trainers that claim to offer protection training. Getting a dog to just bite a sleeve does not prove in any way that the dog will actually protect it's owner, there is much more to it than that! Yet that small display of bitework is all that many owners will ever see their dog do if that dog is trained by an unqualified protection trainer. Ask yourself........do you think that a potential attacker is going to be wearing dog training equipment that the dog will key on as they are trained to do with substandard training? That's not what happens in the Real World, and we know that well here at K9 Concepts of Georgia.

Your dog will be trained to protect you in multiple Real World scenarios to include car-jacking, home invasion, and direct physical assault by serious attackers. We guarantee that dogs trained by us will have the ability to go "civil" on command, a highly desirable ability usually only seen in good level Police Canines.

We can provide finished protection dogs trained to your exact specifications or train your dog, provided your dog can pass our rigorous selection test to enter our protection training program.

We are deadly serious about our protection training, and many dogs will not be able to pass our extensive selection test. As professional trainers, we have decided to skip the "BS" and not sugar-coat something as serious as protection training - a dog is either capable of it, or it's not. Many so-called protection trainers are busy training and selling dogs that will fail if called upon to protect their owners, we will have no part of that unethical business behavior and no dog will be sold by us that will not protect its owner 100% without hesitation.
That's the K9 Concepts of Georgia way of doing business.
 
Call now for a phone consultation to see if your dog could meet our entry requirements for training, or to discuss the purchase of a finished protection dog.
