Welcome to K-9 Camp Dog Obedience School! We offer Basic (on-lead) and Advanced (off-lead) obedience classes. We also offer Agility Training, which is comprised of a full obstacle course. Additionally, you can join the Agility Club to run and practice with your canine once you have completed Agility Training.

K-9 Camp Dog Obedience School uses only positive training methods designed to be non-confrontational. This is introduced through the Three P's: Patience, Practice & Praise.

We will also discuss any problems that you are currently having with your dog. Your specific circumstances will be taken into consideration during your training sessions.

OUR SMALL CLASS SIZE ENSURES INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION DURING THE TRAINING SESSIONS!

Aggressive dogs should immediately be brought to our attention!

K-9 Camp was recently recognized by Mid State Living in an article entitled "Honor and Obey: Dog Obedience Weds Respect, Control". Here is an excerpt:

...Mark Tobin emphasizes the goal of K-9 Camp's six weekly sessions is obedience and nothing else. They don't teach dogs to be aggressive.

"We teach control. When you have that, it also means your dog is more protective of you. With a lot of positive reinforcement and praise, people are amazed at how well their dog will adjust to them," Tobin said.

That's why O'Connor founded K-9 Camp in the first place. "This kind of service is needed everywhere," he said. The goal, said O'Connor is "respect that comes from both ends." That respect is spreading, with more than 500 dogs trained in the past year alone."
