Training has come a long way from the old style of strict and sometimes harsher methods of compulsive training. Obedience training is now started at much younger age than was done in previous times. Our methods use motivational and positive reinforcement to help create desirable behaviors and then further refine the training with leash pressure reinforcement to proof their work. All dog breeds benefit from this type of obedience training.
Understanding what motivates dogs and how to work through and change the undesirable behaviors to desired behavior is a key factor in training. All to often, people put their own human thoughts into their translation of why a dog is acting in a certain way. Some people also like to have conversations with their dogs when they misbehave. This most often hinders our ability to teach the dogs the behaviors we want them to have. No matter how intelligently they look back at us when we talk to them – they don’t speak our language.
For dogs 6 months and older we have different levels of obedience classes.
These are Basic, Advanced, and Beyond Advanced classes. Beyond Advanced can include any specialized type of training to satisfy your training needs for your dog.
We also have specialized training classes that can prepare your dog for competitions in various trials, such as AKC Obedience and Schutzhund (IPO) which is a sport that involves tracking, obedience and protection training.
Most people would like to have a well trained dog, but many of us live very busy lives with work, family and other obligations. We offer
outcall sessions where we will go to your location to work with your dog while you are busy at work. This way, the minimal
time you have to spend with your dogs when you are home can become a more positive and enjoyable experience with them.
In addition, we have a series of 2 week Boarding & Training programs available. Phase I (Basic On leash Obedience) and Phase II (Advanced Off Leash Training). This is where you will send your dog to our facility to be trained. Upon completion of the Boarding and Training programs, we will include a video of your dog doing all the Obedience commands and 3 handling lessons to transfer the training to their owners.
