progress

we will update you regularly on your dogs training as it progresses and work with you closely to transition through each training milestone.

Like people, dogs learn differently. As a result, we may need to adjust training program to match your dog needs. We will let you know if this becomes necessary.

family how to properly handle your dog so the transition from training into the home is a smooth one.

in addition to correcting unwanted behaviors, we will also teach your dog the following:

Basic Obedience Training

Teaching your dog basic on-leash obedience commands is vital for good behavior,

effective communication, and fostering a positive relationship. We will cover these five

essential commands:

  • Sit: This foundational command establishes control and promotes calmness.

  • Stay: This teaches your dog to remain in place until given the “free” signal, enhancing impulse control.

  • Down: This command encourages calmness and helps keep your dog settled.

  • Heel: This prevents pulling on the leash, making walks more enjoyable with your dog by your side.

  • Come: This teaches your dog to return to you, which is crucial for their safety and the safety of others.
