Personal Protection Classes
There are three levels of personal protection. You learn along with your dog at each level. We develop the prey drive of the dog and move into the defensive drive. Many trainers start with defense causing the dog to view new people entering their space to be considered "bad guys." My method teaches the dog to maintain the stability they should have as protection dogs. Below you will view my dogs as well as others performing protection and remaining loving dogs to all who enter their space.

ON-LEASH OBEDIENCE TRAINING
You will learn the techniques developed by Master Trainer Bob Conklin. As your dogs learns to obey your commands, the dog will also learn you are in charge. You do not have to pin your dog or force the dog into submission to be the dominant factor in his or her life. Through my training methods, the dog learns to willingly give you their hearts and actually want to please their handlers. I will teach two adults along with the dog so you are present and participate in all phases of training. We use less pressure when training your dog and more energy and motivation to convince your dog to perform for you. See an immediate change in your dog. Come visit my training facility and view training of other dogs so you can make a smart decision about who will train your dog! Our evaluations are always FREE.

OFF-LEASH OBEDIENCE TRAINING
Here is Bob with Vom Haus HVK-Nines BARRON. You will learn the techniques of advanced on-leash training to prepare you for off-leash training. This allows you to control your dog without the aide of a leash. This is why I train the dogs mind allowing the body to follow. You and your energy will be the only tool you will have to convince your dog to work for you. Using my highly developed training methods early on, your dog wants to follow you and obey your commands. We consider a leash and collar as a "tool" and not a "crutch." Old harsh methods use the leash and collar as a crutch. We us energy and technique for all phases of training.
BARRON ON A SIT STAY OFF-LEASH AT THE MIDDLETOWN HUMANE SOCIETY.
Learn to have total control over your dog. This picture was taken at the Middletown Humane Society while i was conducting a Trainers Certification Course. While my dogs remained in that position, there were other dogs, people and heavy traffic constantly moving in and out. Protection dogs can and should be safe all the time.
AGILITY
I do not use agility as a timed event. I use it to build the dogs confidence. Agility also allows the dog to be in tune with the handler and build confidence without the use of aggression. Control and willingness is the winning combination that you will develop in your dog through agility. Your dog will learn to trust you and your decisions. Agility is a winning combination for dog and handler.
