Our Behavioral Obedience Course is for dogs over 6 months old.

The first class meets without your dog. During the first class we will explain and demonstrate effective training techniques. You will learn how to prevent and manage many common behavior problems.

There are many different training styles. Our programs are based on a gradient guidance based training method. Dogs are always asked to do things that they can achieve.  Your timely guidance assures their success.

We specialize in providing a variety of cross-training exercises to assure that your dog enjoys learning as they develop a broad base of life skills. We don't just teach your dog commands we teach your dog concepts.

Cross-training is a technique of combining a variety of training disciplines
to establish a solid base of communication and control.

Cross Training combines exercises from the following categories.
 

Basic Obedience Commands: "sit", "sit-stay", "down", "down-stay", "stand", "stand-stay", "stay", "come" when they are called and walk nicely on a leash.

Behavioral Commands: "leave-it",  "off",  "wait",  "get busy" and "move"

Directional Commands:
"over",  "under",  "back",  and "around"

Trick Training: Trick training helps your dog understand the training process. Your dog will quickly learn that words have meaning and success is rewarding.

Obstacle confidence training:
Your dog will learn to navigate a variety of training obstacles. Obstacles build your dog's self confidence as they learn to understand and trust you.

Your dog will learn to go through tunnels and over a variety of ramps, stairs, jumps, and wobbly boards

Play Training: 
Your dog can learn life skills as you play together. Dogs love retrieving games, find-it and even hide & seek.

Distraction / Focus Training: Participating in training classes help your dog learn to behave even when they are excited and distracted.
