Obedience Training

Woman training Bernese Mountain Dog to sit

the complete training package

Obedience training is the perfect way to empower your dog to be able to become a fully integrated companion. This package includes our intake session at your home, where we craft your goals and discuss training styles. Additionally, it will come with 10 sessions in the field to learn all of the “basic commands” to guarantee that all your friends will be impressed.

SIT

Taught with both visual and audible signals.

Mixed breed dog sitting and staying

SIT STAY

Your dog will lean a five-minute sit-stay, with distraction proofing!

HEEL

Heel is the formal walk, it doesn’t just mean “not pulling on the leash”. Heel is the art of the dog walking at your left knee.

Down

Like our sit command, the down command will be taught with both visual and audible cues.

DOWN STAY

Down-stay is where we go big and dial-in the distraction proofing for a whopping 30 minute down stay.

COME COMMAND

The come command is quite possibly the hardest and most important command in your toolbox. Dogs that come when called reliably enjoy a higher quality of life than their counterparts. Teaching a dog to come reliably is such a monstrous task that we’d hate for you to have to go at it alone. We can train your dog to come reliably, with distractions. This command is so helpful, that some of our customers buy the obedience package for this alone!

While we are teaching your dog the basic commands, we’re going to add a few “bells ‘n’ whistles” along the way. One of them is teaching your pet to cross the street safely with you.

door Etiquette

Another great feature of the obedience package is the door etiquette, where we teach your dog to wait for a command to pass through car doors, house doors, and gates. This command is a game changer for the person who likes to take their pet to friend’s houses, book stores and patios.
