Obedience Training

Our Philosopy

Our philosophy of obedience training consists of evaluating how each individual dog learns. We use tools and tactics from every known method of dog training. This allows us to have a training program that adheres to each dog’s specific behavior and way of learning.

 

Puppy Program

Our puppy program consists of potty training, crate training, socialization, desensitizing, molding behaviors, and the introduction of basic obedience commands through motivation and positive reinforcement. It will also consist of the beginning phases of teaching your pup how to behave and walk at heel on a leash. The basic obedience commands include here, heel, sit, place, stay, down, kennel, quiet, and off.

  •  4 week program
  • Dogs from 4 – 6 months of age
  •  Board and Train: available
  • Daily update videos so you can see how your dog is doing with the training. These videos will also help to give you an understanding of the commands and what is expected.

On Leash Board & Train Program

Our on leash program consists of a more thorough form of socialization, desensitizing, and molding of behaviors.

Your dog will be taught to walk at heel on leash through a multitude of distractions.

They will be taught basic obedience commands such as here, heel, sit, place, stay, kennel, quiet, and down. These commands will also be reinforced through multiple types of distractions while on leash. The puppy program is not a prerequisite to this class, although it is highly recommended.
