Our Training Programs

Puppy Training

Start your puppy off on the right paw! Our Puppy Training Program focuses on teaching basic commands, socialization, and proper house training habits. Designed for puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months, this program lays the groundwork for a well-mannered adult dog.

Obedience Training

Perfect for dogs of any age, our Obedience Training program addresses common behavioral issues like pulling, jumping, barking, and lack of focus. Through positive reinforcement and proven techniques, we’ll help your dog become well-mannered and obedient both at home and in public.

Behavior Modification

For dogs exhibiting aggression, anxiety, or other behavioral issues, our expert trainers use proven techniques to address and modify unwanted behaviors effectively.

Behaviors Addressed in Obedience Training

In obedience training, we focus on transforming your dog’s overall behavior by addressing common issues like:

Ignoring Commands

Strengthening responsiveness to commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come” ensures that your dog listens to you in a variety of situations. Ignoring commands is a common issue many owners face, often leading to frustration and behavioral problems. We focus on building consistency and reliability in your dog’s response to commands through repetition, positive reinforcement, and clear communication.

Separation Anxiety

Helping your dog feel more comfortable and relaxed when left alone is crucial for their emotional well-being and your peace of mind. Dogs with separation anxiety often exhibit destructive behaviors, excessive barking, or panic when left by themselves. Our approach to reducing separation anxiety involves gradually building your dog’s confidence and independence through structured exercises and positive reinforcement.

Jumping on People

Training your dog to greet people politely without jumping is key to creating a well-mannered pet. Jumping on guests or strangers is not only an annoying habit but can also be intimidating or even dangerous, especially with larger breeds. Our obedience training emphasizes teaching dogs how to stay grounded and calm during greetings, using positive reinforcement to encourage appropriate behavior.

Leash Pulling

Teaching your dog to walk calmly without tugging or dragging you is a critical aspect of obedience training. Many dogs struggle with leash manners, often pulling or lunging at distractions, making walks stressful for both the dog and the owner. Through structured exercises and consistent reinforcement, we focus on training your dog to maintain a relaxed and controlled pace by your side.
