Tamworth Dog Training with K9 Click Tricks

What can K9 Click Tricks do?

Hello I'm Steve,When training your dog I try to be as clear and straight forward as possible with a friendly and honest attitude so both you and your dog are learning at the same time. I make sure to show you how a practice exercise is done, explaining the thought processes before letting you the owner try for yourself. I have also completed the Kennel club good citizen dog scheme Puppy foundation assessment with my own dog Cezar.

Although I'm a dog trainer I also have to train humans! After all it's also my job to educate the owner why and when I do certain things. Here's just some of the things I can teach your dog:

roll over	Wait	Leave	Heel on lead
Heel off lead	Not to pull on lead	Stop Jumping up	Basic Hand Signals
Come - recall	Sit	Lie Down	Play Dead
Road Manners (wait at curb)
Advanced Trick Sessions that can be taught include
Stand on hind legs	Limp on one paw	Retrieving mail or Items' of interest
K9 Click tricks can also teach you
Effective communication skills		Body language skills for you and dog
Keep dog interested

What our Clients think about us

"Our session yesterday focused on lead walking, I never thought it would be possible to get Thor to walk on his lead without him pulling my arm out of its socket, but Steve worked his magic yet again and the progress is amazing"

What is dog obedience?

Dog Obedience training ranges from very basic training, such as teaching the dog to reliably respond to basic commands such as "sit", "down", "come", and "stay". For a dog to be considered obedient rather than simply trained in obedience, it must respond reliably each time the command is given, by what is commonly known as its handler.

What is the clicker toy?

A clicker is a small hand-held training tool that's fun and simple to use, as it makes an audible “click” when pressed down to signal the exact point in time the dog does something right. This is usually followed by some form of positive reward such as a treat and or praise to encourage further success in the dogs training. Using this technique helps the dog become familiar with learning new things at a quicker rate, but as not to rely on it fully for obeying to all commands.

Rates and Charges

What does the customer get for their money?

Introduction for clicker training is £30: For one and a half hours home visit (Family members welcome). This is to get to know a little bit about you, your best friend, and I can explain what I can teach your dog as well as any questions you have either on the day, I'm always available to contact by phone or email for support should you happen to have any queries after all we're only human! This should last around 30 minutes.

For the remainder hour I will work on going through custom training techniques tailored to your puppy/dog, laid out from what you want, to get the most out of your furry companion. Using the clicker I'll teach you the best way to use it and when NOT to use it.

After all, every dog and their owner is different. I believe that every dog has a potential to be a well behaved, calm, obedient dog, finding the key to unlock it is what k9 Click Tricks specializes in. Therefore there are no maximum limits on the number of sessions we can provide as age, temperament and experience all contribute to the speed of progression.
