Basic Obedience training covers building engagement, using clear markers and release words, and commands such as Down, Sit, Come when called, Heel/Walking on a leash without pulling, Bed or Place command, and Quiet.

This includes going on/over/through obstacles, holding and bringing items, obedience from horseback, ATVs, or bicycles, exposure and neutralization to livestock, obedience foundation for herding work, and scent work like tracking or finding items, including shed hunting.

For Sport, Competitive Obedience, and Protection, Siskiyou K9 provides intense, detailed training. This includes building a strong relationship and intense focus under high distraction, competition heel and positioning, proper changes, competition recall, out of motion exercises, dumbbell/retrieve work, obstacles like jumps and A-frames, send aways, trial routines, barking on command, building toy drive and grips, play fundamentals, body awareness, and handler skills.
