Basic Obedience Training Program

        Embarking on the journey of basic obedience training has been a transformative experience in my career as a dog trainer. I've come to understand that basic obedience serves as the cornerstone of effective communication and a harmonious relationship between dog and owner. Without a solid foundation in obedience, I noticed that confusion and misbehavior can easily take root in our furry friends, leading to frustrations for both pets and their human companions.

         Through years of hands-on experience, I've honed a training approach that empowers owners to train their dogs effectively. During our sessions, I work closely with dog owners, guiding them through the process of training their beloved companions. We focus on teaching essential commands like place, free, heel, sit, down, stand, stay, come, and finish, which form the building blocks for more advanced training in the future. I also cover behavioral issues like nipping, jumping and counter-surfing. I will meet with the owner once, twice or three times per week to go over the lesson that will be used throughout that week. The owner will be required to do two 15 minute lessons a day using the skills taught. Each weeks lesson will build on top of the last one. By the end of the 6 or 10 weeks you and your dog will have a strong foundation of knowledge and habits to continue working on throughout your lives. 

        The difference between the 6 and 10 week programs and the amount of traing sessions per week that you have me there are simply the more coaching you will recieve along the way. By the end of 6 weeks you and your dog will have a good foundation of all the obedience skills to continue with. By the end of 10 weeks there will be a noticable difference in the depth of the training recieved. There will be a great benifit of using my professional knowledge as much as possible depending on your available time and what you can afford. 

        Training will need to be a life style that you continue as you and your dog are growing together. Certain skills will need to be continually worked on more than others in order to get the full obedience out of your dog. The recall and the off leash heel will usually take the most time and effort. The most important thing to remember is that training is a lifestyle and if you back off of the habits made your dog will back slide. Training is a life long commitment. 

        With my guidance and your commitment, we will establish clear boundaries and limitations, fostering a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship. As a dedicated dog trainer, I derive immense joy from witnessing the remarkable transformations in the dogs I work with and the newfound confidence and understanding in their owners.
