Dog Training

Obedience and Agility Training

After 25+ years of group classes and over 6,000 dogs trained, we are now offering more personalized training solutions. Today’s client wants more individual guidance for their pet, and they want faster results.

By changing our strategy away from group lessons and into private lessons, we feel these challenges can be met. In our experience, many of the training challenges can be solved mainly by the amount of owner involvement and getting the information in a timely manner. This allows a more specific focus on challenges and solutions for your training.

A Word About Obedience Classes

Obedience classes are crucial for a relaxed and confident pet. They prevent behavior issues by establishing rules, teaching desired manners, fostering effective communication, and building positive bonds. This training extends to both indoor and outdoor settings, enhancing the overall relationship with your dog while setting clear boundaries for acceptable behavior.


Agility Classes

A Word About Agility Classes

Thinking about getting into the agility game with your best friend? Now is the time! We have new sessions beginning regularly. In order for our trainers to best place your dog in the right class, we ask that you take one private lesson with our trainer to evaluate your dog’s level.

A few basic skills are needed to make your dog successful in our classes. Your dog needs to be able to focus around distractions, have a good come-on recall, and have a good sit/down stay. Remember you will be in class with dogs off lead and running by week 3.

So don’t delay. If you are new to the sport, call now, and we will have a trainer contact you! Please call us directly at 937-885-3427 for our class schedule, more information, and to register.

Big Times Kennel Dog Training Center is located south of the kennel, with ample parking and plenty of open grassy areas to walk your dog before class begins.

You can follow us on Facebook at Big Times Kennel and K9 Training on Instagram or subscribe to our YouTube channel — you might see you and your pup on there!
