Rewarding desired behavior with treats, praise, or play to encourage repeat success.
An undesired behavior goes unrewarded and corrected to discourage repetitive patterns.
Using a consistent sound or word (ex: “Yes!” or a clicker) to clearly mark the desired behavior.
Teaching clear communication and loose leash walking. Rewarding relaxation and focus instead of tension.
Gradually exposing dogs to triggers (ex: other dogs, cars, noises, or environments), to build confidence, calmness and neutrality.
Turning playtime into learning time to strengthen focus, recall, and impulse control.
Establishing simple routines, boundaries, and expectations that help dogs thrive in any environment.
The E-Collar Technology system is a modern, high quality training tool designed to strengthen communication between you and your dog. Built with precision and safety in mind, it delivers consistent stimulation levels that guide behavior gently and effectively. With customizable settings, ergonomic design, and reliable long-range performance, this e-collar helps create clear, calm, and confident training sessions.
A slip lead leash is a simple, effective training tool that combines a collar and leash into one streamlined design. Teaching loose-leash walking, improving responsiveness, and guiding dogs through training sessions with clear, gentle feedback.
The world-renowned Herm Sprenger Prong Collar is engineered with premium, corrosion-resistant stainless steel and precision German craftsmanship for exceptional durability and reliability in any training environment. It's design distributes pressure around the muscle of the neck, high & behind the ears- which helps protect the esophagus and trachea, while providing clear, consistent communication that supports proper leash manners and improved handler control. We at C4K9 educate the difference between other cheap models vs. the Herman Springer.
Biothane leashes and collars are a C4K9 preferred choice for durability, comfort, and performance. Made from a strong, flexible coated webbing, biothane offers the look and feel of leather without the maintenance—making it perfect for everyday use, training sessions, different weather, and outdoor adventures.
Clicker training is a positive, reward-based dog training method that uses a small handheld device—called a clicker—to mark desired behaviors with a clear, consistent sound.
A treat pouch is a small bag that you wear around your waist or clip onto a belt. Its main purpose is to hold training treats, toys, or clickers, giving you quick, easy access during training. Instead of digging through pockets or bags, you can instantly reward your dog the moment they perform a desired behavior, which is crucial for effective learning.
A Place Board is an essential training tool designed to help dogs develop focus, impulse control, and reliable obedience. Built with a raised, clearly defined platform, the Place Board creates a natural boundary that makes it easier for dogs to understand exactly where they should stay during training. This visual and physical target helps speed up learning and reinforces calm, steady behavior.
The Martingale Collar is a secure and effective training collar designed to provide reliable control while keeping dog's comfortable and confident. Its unique dual-loop design applies even, gentle pressure when needed and relaxes automatically when the dog is calm, helping reinforce good leash manners with clear communication.
A Barrel Tug is a durable, interactive training toy designed to build your dog’s drive, jaw strength, and engagement during tug sessions. Its barrel-shaped design provides a solid, comfortable surface for dogs to bite, encouraging a strong, full-mouth grip that supports confidence and proper technique. This makes it an excellent choice for building foundational skills used in protection work, sport training, and high-energy play.
A training skirt is a wearable garment (usually with pockets and loops) that wraps around your waist or hips. It distributes the storage of treats and tools comfortably and allows you to move freely during training sessions. Some training skirts are designed with multiple compartments, making it easy to organize different types of rewards or equipment
Food is one of the most effective and widely used rewards in dog training. High-value treats help reinforce desired behaviors, making learning faster, more enjoyable, and more reliable. The key is to use small, high value rewards that your dog loves and can eat quickly, so they stay motivated without getting full too quickly.
