Worthy of celebrity bodyguards

K-9 Companions has trained a number of dogs in California and abroad. We have even had the pleasure of training celebrity pets for noteable names, such as Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Elvira, Travis Barker, Elijah Wood, Robert Wagner and Rod Carew. Our training is worthy enough to turn ordinary large dogs into celebrity bodyguards. That's because we also offer protection and security courses. Indeed, our full service facility can accommodate all your needs whether you're a celebrity looking for training schools worthy of producing celebrity bodyguards or a dog owner in search of serious advanced obedience and agility training. We have the capabilities and resources to serve your needs. Don't know what your dog needs? Not a problem. Every dog is different, and we're willing to work with you to determine which course or courses would best suit your dog's needs.

There are a lot of myths out there regarding collars. With so many different collars available--partial slip collars, training harnesses, pinch collars, shock collars and more--it's easy to see how choosing the right collar can be confusing. To understand which collar works best for K9 training, watch a dog show and observe the collars the expert and award-winning trainers are using. You'll see they're using a slip collar, which is often referred to as a "choke chain". However, it's important to note that the effective way to use a slip collar is to deliver a sharp tug and release. It's should never be used to choke a dog. Essentially, the handler is the person responsible for operating the slip collar. When using the collar improperly, only then does it become a "choke chain".
