Why Obedience Training?
- It can save your dog’s life.
Consistent communication between you and your dog can be lifesaving! A dog that comes when called is a safe dog - Dogs with good manners are welcome guests.
Well-trained dogs are more likely to accompany your family on trips or almost anywhere
Through obedience training you will:
- Strengthen your relationship with your dog
- Teach your dog basic commands (such as sit, stay, and come), loose leash walking, and more
- Learn how to communicate with your dog so your dog can do anything
- Build confidence in shy dogs
- Teach your dog basic manners: no mouthing, jumping, or counter surfing
- Correct or avoid many common behavior issues in dogs through basic obedience
