Sport Training At K9cation 

Build skills. Boost confidence. Strengthen your bond.  Have Fun. 

Once your dog has a basic foundation of commands (sit, down, stay, come, leash basics), sport training is where the magic really starts.

​

Dog sports aren’t just about ribbons (though we love a good victory lap). They’re one of the best ways to create a confident, focused dog who knows how to work with you and then relax at home.

Why Dog Sports?

Sport training gives your dog a job and gives you both a shared language. In a low-pressure, supportive environment, dogs learn how to try, succeed, and build confidence step-by-step.

​

Sports help dogs:

• Build confidence and resilience

• Improve focus and communication

• Mentally tire out in a healthy way (a tired dog = a good dog)

• Strengthen the relationship between you and your dog

• Learn an “off switch” for instinctive behaviors

• Increase calm, good behavior at home

​

Sports are fulfilling, engaging, and deeply satisfying for dogs, especially ones with big drive and busy brains.  Best of all, you'll love giving your dog the gift of joy.  Dog's experience intense joy from doing sports that are instinctual to them while increasing their relationship with you!

Perfect For Beginners, Yes, Even If You're New

One of our favorite things at K9cation is introducing new dogs and new handlers to sports.

You don’t need experience. You don’t need a “perfect” dog. You just need a willingness to learn and a dog who’s ready for the next step.

​

We’ll guide you through the basics, help you build strong foundations, and keep it fun for both ends of the leash.
