About the Program
The Obedience Essentials Program is designed for dogs over the age of 14 weeks of age. This course is for any family who wants their dog to achieve common obedience commands, learn to mind their manners better (no door bolting, addressing jumping on people, and no more dragging you down the street!) This program will cover Basic and Intermediate obedience in one program! This package is geared toward more on-leash training, in lower distraction environments with a lot of yummy positive reinforcement training!
This is a great program to have the assistance of a professional foundation, that you can then progress even further on your own if you desire (such as off leash training, higher distractions, etc!) Or simply for a family who is looking for all the essentials, without interest in off leash training or flashy bells and whistles!
What's Included?
Basic and Intermediate Obedience Commands: Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Place, Leave It, Quiet, Off, Door Manners, Leash Manners
Training Equipment: Any training gear/tools that work best for your dog to maintain the fantastic results your dog will achieve. This includes collars, leashes, harnesses.
Longer Programs: Our longer program structure allows your dog to really receive and achieve the very best results possible! No quick two week fixes here!
Follow Up Support: In this Program you receive follow up support from us in the form of 1 follow up lesson as needed, and virtual support for the life of your dog! This means access to follow up concerns, issues, questions and goals. This can be received by phone, email as needed for the life of the dog!
Refresher Boarding: Going someplace fun? Upon graduation you will unlock our premier refresher boarding for your dog at our best discounted rate! We will train your dog while you’re away, maintaining those great results you worked so hard to achieve! All while your dog stays with the people they have come to trust and love, ensuring a stress free and fun filled trip for the family (and your dog!)
Board & Train Option:
Our Board & Train Program is conducted in a family home environment, this means no stressful and boring facility/kennel environments. Benefits of this are less stress, no dirty conditions, someone with your dog all day every day and night and a realistic training environment for your dog to succeed, all while your dog becomes a part of the family for their stay. All dogs live INDOORS only, no outdoor kennels or outbuildings. Your dog is our family! No wondering where your dog will be, transparency is always provided to every family! We have heard so many horror stories of other Trainer's not disclosing where their dogs will be, here there is no question! Additionally, you will receive multiple training lessons while your dog is in training, which is really uncommon in todays modern dog training world!
