TRAINING LINKS

The Lone Star Akita Club strongly encourages Akita owners to train their dogs.  Obedience and socialization is a must when owning such a demanding breed.  The links on this page provide a wealth of information and several different techniques for training your Akita.  They also provide suggestions on dog behavior if you are interested in better understanding your dog's behavior.

Also, feel free to contact club members if you have specific training questions or if you are interested in beginning a show career.  Please see the Members Information section for email addresses.
