Our Training Philosophy

At Kennedy K9 Camp, we believe in training the individual dog in front of us with a fair and balanced approach.

We begin with positive, reward-based methods to build clear understanding and motivation.
Once your dog truly understands a command, we believe in helping them follow through consistently — not from dominance, but from a commitment to safety and reliability.
We train for real-life results: leash manners that prevent falls, stay commands that stop door-dashing, recalls that keep your dog safe.
We use food, toys, praise, and also life rewards — like going for a walk, greeting a friend, or earning freedom — to reinforce good behavior.
Finally, we remember that changes in behavior may signal health or environmental issues.

Training builds communication and trust, so we can better understand our dogs.
