This is not your average basic obedience class. Through this course you will learn how to lay critical foundation skills in communication that will set you and your dog up for success through the entirety of your lives together.
Being a great dog owner is more than just knowing how to get your dog to do tricks. Sit, down, and stay are all great tools to help on your dog training journey, but this class will offer something much deeper. At Summit K9, we believe in taking a holistic approach to training that takes into account your lifestyle and your relationship with your pet. This means that our classes focus not only on teaching behaviors and training techniques, but teaching you how to fold training into everyday life with your dog.
By taking this class, you will create a strong foundation in communication and training that will empower you to build new behaviors and address potential problems long after you have completed this course.
This course will take a deep dive into how dogs learn, how to communicate with your dog, how to motivate your dog to volunteer the behaviors that you want and ditch the ones you don't, and ultimately, how you can become your dog's best friend!

WEDNESDAYS | 5:00PM & 6:30PM

Harness your dog's natural drive to sniff in a fun activity that both you and your pup will love! Descended from drug and bomb sniffing applications, Scent Detection has quickly become one of the most popular dog sports in the United States. Scent Detection is a team sport that helps owners connect with their pets on a deeper level and provides an interactive physical and mental outlet for their dogs.
Join our Scent Detection classes to get started on detection basics and get to know other owners that are also excited about learning and growing with their dogs! Classes will be posted individually and will fill on a first come, first serve basis. The goal of this program is to provide dog-owner pairs with a fun and enriching way to continue to challenge themselves and build their teamwork and training skills without imposing heavy long term expenses.
Dogs participating in this program will learn to detect and indicate on essential oil odors commonly used in the sport of Scent Work, beginning with birch, anise, and clove.
Humans and dogs of all ages and abilities are welcome. This program is designed both for dog owners seeking a great way to supplement their relationship with their pet or handlers hoping to hone their skill for future competition.
Though participating dogs should be under control at all times, previous obedience training is not required to participate in this club. Any dog can learn to detect odor, and moderate to high food or toy motivation is the only prerequisite!
Aside from being a great activity for dogs and owners to work together at, detection has been proven to help address many behavioral problems as well! When added as a supplement to behavior modification plans, dogs struggling with anxiety, leash reactivity, hyperactivity, and other anxiety related behaviors can show notable improvement. Such dogs are able to express natural drives in a safe and low stress environment, and learn to settle their minds and bodies to complete the task, similar to mindfulness practice in humans.
This course is SHY AND REACTIVE DOG FRIENDLY. Dogs will take turns working, and will likely have little to no exposure to other dogs during class time. Dogs that pose even a minor bite risk to humans should be muzzle conditioned prior to participation in this course to ensure the safety of the trainer and other participants. Though dogs with mild to moderate problem behaviors may still be eligible for this class, by registering, you are agreeing to disclose all problem behaviors to the trainer prior to the first class.
PLEASE NOTE: This class is run "seminar style," meaning that dogs take turns doing their runs and will be required to be either crated in the building OR crated/contained in their owners' vehicles between their turns. This allows each dog to focus on building their detection skills in the early phases, and ensures that this class remains accessible to environmentally sensitive dogs. Scent detection is a surprisingly physically and mentally demanding sport, so this rest time also provides an important break for dogs to recover between their runs. If your dog is not crate trained or cannot be contained in your vehicle, please email us at info@summitk9training.com for private lesson options!

ELEVATED OBEDIENCE
Log in to your ProPet account for upcoming scheduled dates and pricing!
This class is for existing Summit K9 clients who are ready to take their training to the next level!
Elevated Obedience is a small group class tailored to dogs working through behavior challenges or polishing advanced skills like public access, off-leash control, and real-world reliability. This class blends structured guidance with creative problem-solving, offering a mix of hands-on practice, discussion, and off-site field trips to reinforce skills in everyday environments. Whether you're building confidence, working through reactivity, or striving for distraction-proof obedience, this class meets you where you are and helps you level up—together, and with plenty of fun along the way!
Is this class for you?
These standalone classes are designed for students and dogs who have already built a strong foundation of obedience through other Summit K9 services, or with an equivalent training program.
Before enrolling in this class, your dog should have strong formal heeling/loose leash walking skills and engagement when triggers are not present, strong leash pressure fluency, a basic understanding of markers (yes and good being most important), and moderate to strong stays in positions such as sit and down when triggers are not present. Please contact the Summit K9 staff if you are unsure if this class is appropriate!
