At Hay Creek Kennel, we offer a range of obedience training options—private lessons, home-based training, and board-and-train programs—all designed to help you build a stronger bond with your dog.
We meet each dog where they are at and use The Method Training™ System to achieve our goals. This creates a lasting foundation for a strong, positive, disciplined relationship between you and your dog.
Why Hay Creek Kennel?
The Method™ The next evolution in dog training.
Our training system is based on the belief that communication and understanding are key to a successful relationship between dogs and humans. Our seminars aim to create a strong, iron-clad relationship between humans and dogs.
Here in the US and around the world, ensuring the safety of crowds at large event venues such as sporting events, festivals, and campaign rallies are top of the mind for homeland security and local officials alike. Only Vapor Wake certified detection dogs have the capability required for this level of detection and protection.
At Hay Creek Kennel, our role is to develop the candidate Vapor Wake dog both physically and mentally to be ready to be put into service. Four to five days out of the week, our dogs are taken to a variety of locations to work and hone their individual strengths. Central to our development program is the concept of "confidence through accomplishment." We believe that by providing dogs with opportunities to succeed and achieve, we can boost their confidence and strengthen their bond with their human companions or handlers. Through our unique approach, we aim to provide the most capable dogs to meet the needs of current national security infrastructure in response to emerging threats.
Staying left of boom.
“I have been training dogs for over 25 years, and built my career in establishing the Search and Rescue K9 program at the U.S. Border Patrol, as well as training dog teams for special projects/missions. I have seen thousands of handlers and dogs. Sonny stands out as an exceptional trainer not only because he has mastered many of the technical aspects of handling a dog, but he fosters an understanding with dogs like I have not seen before. When he began his breeding program he did extensive research to ensure the highest quality of breeding standards and uses his training expertise to raise extremely desirable and reliable detection K9 prospects. He is a true professional and he has dedicated his life to the professional field of dog training and breeding. Sonny has a terrific understanding of the drives of dogs and how to build on those drives to match the task at hand. Bottom line, he is honorable and will not sell a dog that is not suited for the job. Sonny has my highest recommendation as both a breeder and trainer and I can’t wait to get another pup from him.”
