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.
In our Puppy training programs, the emphasis is on teaching owners how to set limits, better communicate, and properly socialize their puppy.
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.
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.
He did a great job on training me on how to handle Grizzly. We have a lot less trouble in handling Grizzly. He is very thorough in his training.

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.
