Why Should I Train My Dog?

Obedience is the foundation on which every aspect of a dog's relationship is built. The performance in any dog/human activity can be directly attributed to the quality of the basic training the dog and handler have been exposed to, and the willingness of the handler to be consistent.

Basic Obedience

7 Week Course

The basic course is designed for the first introduction to obedience training on the adolescent or mature dog. This course teaches the dog five basic commands of Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, and Come. Behavior problems, such as jumping up, house training, nipping, and destructive chewing, are covered. If your dog is nervous, timid, or anxious, you will be taught how to deal with this behavior.

Intermediate Off-Lead

6 Week Course

Intermediate off-lead training is for dogs that have a clear understanding of the five basic commands. Training is done on-lead where the dog is exposed to increased everyday distractions where he will be corrected and/or praised for its behavior. This training is done with the focus on distractions in everyday work, and teaches your dog the proper way to behave around them. Off leash work is introduced as well as distance control in this level of training.

Advanced Off-Lead

6 Week Course

This advanced level of obedience is for the dog owner who wants to have the ultimate control of their dog off leash. All commands are given with hand signals, and off leash control. All family members are encouraged to participate in this phase of training. Handler and canine will master distractions and obstacles, resulting in a confident man and canine partnership.
