About Us

Why Us?

Here at Watts Freestyle K-9 Training we train all breeds of dogs. Training has come a long way from the old style of harsh methods of compulsive training. Our training methods use motivational, positive reinforcement. We use the dog's instinctive drive to help create desirable behaviors and further refine the training your dog begins to learn.

This type of approach has created extraordinary success in achieving great reliability and enthusiasm. All dogs benefit from this type of obedience training. Obedience training is the foundation for all dogs and will help develop a stronger bond and mutual respect between you and your dog. Having a basic understanding of what motivates dogs and how to work through the undesirable reactions and behaviors and turn them into a positive desired behavior, is the key to our training philosophy.

Puppy Training

In our Puppy training programs, the emphasis is on teaching owners how to set limits, better communicate, and properly socialize their puppy.

Obedience Training

In our Obedience and Behavior Modification, the emphasis is on precision, working through distractions, reading your dog, behavior issues, and teaching your dog and you the basic foundation of obedience.

Specialty Training

Upon request I train dogs for Tracking, Search & Rescue, personal protection, ring sport training, and scent detection after they have been evaluated for this kind of fun, challenging, and rewarding kind of work.

My last hope was finding someone to help train her and me. I found Gary at Watts freestyle K-9 training. Gary helped me to understand what was needed to make Bella a well-balanced dog. Thanks to Gary‘s help she is well adjusted and just the best dog ever.

Speak to your audience You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about Take a few moments to plan your post Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you. Don’t forget to add images Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words. Edit carefully before posting Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
