How Games that Train Worked For Them

Games that Train have made all the difference in my three rescued cattle dogs. They have transformed from nervous, sometimes disobedient dogs into happy, eager to please well-mannered dogs, just from playing the games for a few minutes every day!

The course was a game changers for us. After 3 levels elsewhere and a fairly extensive dog experience there were still things I couldn't figure out with my Aussie. Games that Train was perfect for that!

Our Games that Train program is designed to work for dogs of any age! However, if your dog is between 2-4 months old, our Good Pup program may be more suitable. Please contact us if you are unsure and we can help determine the best class for your dogs needs.

With Games that Train, missing a class doesn't mean missing out! Registration comes with lifetime access to the Games that Train video library, covering everything you learn in the program! We also review previously covered games throughout the session, giving you lots of chances to practice!

Class sizes depend on location, but all of our classes have a minimum client-instructor ratio of 5:1, so you have lots of individual time with the instructor for questions and feedback.

We offer a variety of private training programs, but most dogs benefit from practicing the games around other dogs. If your dog is dealing with reactivity, it may be beneficial to start with our reactivity program. For dogs dealing with fear and anxiety, starting with our Overcoming Fear course may be more suitable. Please contact us if you are unsure!

Yes! We encourage you to bring family members to training classes so that everyone can learn and practice.
