Puppy Training - Start Early!
Are you having a hard time managing your puppy’s behavior - play biting, jumping, stealing your stuff, chewing everything, excessive barking, or marking? Without proper puppy obedience training, these behaviors can spiral out of control.
Your puppy is growing fast, constantly busy, and continually learning! In this critical stage, we help you and your pup build a strong relationship based on clear communication and trust. Through play and practice, your puppy will learn to be calm, well mannered, and to look to you for leadership. Our professional dog trainers help your pup develop appropriate social behaviors and help you create the structure your puppy needs for success.
Obedience Training - A Well-Behaved Dog
At Purposeful Canines, dogs come to us to obtain all levels of obedience. We use our evaluation process to customize a dog training program that best fits you and your family's goals. We love to work with all dogs - the good, bad and the ugly. Whether they have had prior training or not, we will continue to elevate them to the highest level of their potential.
Obedience training establishes a solid foundation for all learning and provides your dog with a proper communication system, mental stimulation and physical exercise that is great for their over all well being and mental health. As your dog masters skills through our core obedience exercises, we will challenge them with new goals and continue to boost their confidence through proper structure. We also train in all different settings, allowing your dog to generalize their skills in both old and new environments.
Basic Leash Training and Advance Off Leash Obedience
Are you struggling to walk your dog? Do they pull their leash, follow their nose, constantly change directions, or drag you everywhere?
Learning a proper heeling position is vital for the safety of you, your dog, and everyone around you. In our leash training lessons, your dog will learn various walking positions, so that you have the ability to maintain control and lead the way when needed. Our expert dog trainers will coach you through elevating your dog's engagement with distractions, while working on duration and consistency in these obedience behaviors. Sit, down, loose leash walking (heel), place, off (no jumping), introduction to recall, and building a proper communication system with your dog are all things we primarily focus on during our basic obedience sessions.
For those interested in advance and off leash obedience training, these packages focus on building a strong and reliable recall, with extreme consistency and reliability in their core behaviors. Whether they are holding a down under high levels of distractions outside of a bar or restaurant for an extended period of time, or you need to recall from across a field, even from chasing a squirrel. A solid recall and a reliable obedience can truly save a dog’s life!
