Divine K-9 VIP Training Package
We are excited to offer a new service: Divine K-9 VIP Training Package. This service allows your dog to live with us, for a period of time, while we address the training and behavior issues that caused you to contact us in the first place. Our expertise, knowledge, and sharp mechanics, while working with your dog in a "home setting," can jump start your dog's behavior modification program.
Divine K-9 Dog Trainer Instructional Camp
We are excited to announce that Sarah Kalnajs will be returning in 2011, with her good friend and fellow (Australian) behaviorist, Peta Clarke, for a 3-day dog trainer instructional camp: May 13 - 15, 9am to 5pm each day. We will be meeting at Paws N' Effect Canine Training Center in Hamden, CT. CEUs pending. The focus will be on case analysis, risk assessments, sharpening your mechanics and handling skills, and how to be a student of the dog's responses. More details to follow!
Agility Testimonials
"I have been taking classes and attending clinics with Bobbie for the past few years. Her approach to teaching agility skills and positive reinforcement for both dog and handler, has encouraged confidence in both my dogs and myself. She has helped me advance my Master agility dog, as well as my Novice dog and new puppy. Her instruction has shown me how to make sense of this agility game so that my dogs and I can truly work as a team. More importantly, we are having fun!"

"My youngest dog is a dog that needed something to do. Dogs don’t do ballet or soccer so I signed her up for beginning agility classes with Bobbie almost two years ago. We haven’t stopped since. Sophie Agnes LOVES her classes. Bobbie knows how to break down the exercises so that novice handlers and dogs can participate, learn and have a great time. I don’t think you’ll ever see us on T.V. or even YouTube – but don’t tell Sophie Agnes that!!"

"Bobbie knows her agility! I know I am getting a true representation of the whole Say Yes! training system when I train with Bobbie, from the foundation up. She has a deep understanding of the philosophy behind each move, doesn’t cut corners and won’t allow sloppy handling. Bobbie really spends time with each handler-dog team, meeting them on their level. She is able to help novice dogs/handlers work through new skills by breaking them down, as well as challenge the more experienced team to be the best they can be."
