At TNT we teach CKC/AKC competition obedience from pre-novice thru to the highest level – Utility. Our students earn mulitiple titles and awards at obedience trials thru-out the year. Our class enviroment is fun! Come and learn how to be unpredictable in your training, we do not pattern train at TNT! Proofing and distraction training is covered so that dogs are familiar with it and thus can concentrate better at the trials.Methods are based on TNT’s own, Janice Gunn’s proven training methods. Below you will find a listing of our competition classes.
If you are currently working with one of the instructors you may still register with them as you always have. If you are a new student, please send us your on-line registration form.

TNT Training teaches using positive reinforcement and motivational methods. To help your dog understand what we are trying to teach them, we use food rewards. This method of teaching is proven to accelerate the learning process for dogs. The alternative to positive training, is to use compulsion and adversive methods and this type of training is not only old-fashioned and highly outdated, but also produces dogs that work out of fear and not because they “want” to. At TNT we want both yourselves AND your dogs to enjoy the learning and training process.
