Teaching Your Dog to Stay and Come on Command Will Change Your Lives

Imagine being able to control your untrained dog with just a sound or a hand signal. It may seem far-fetched now, but after you complete our beginner obedience training, it will be your reality. In this training, we will also discuss common issues dog owners experience including, jumping up on people, digging, and excessive chewing and discuss the best ways to train your dog not to do these bad behaviors. Our dog trainers have decades of combined experience training dogs of all breeds, ages, and capability ranges. We will meet your dog where they are at and together, we can turn them into the well-behaved family member you want in your home.

At the Conclusion of This Course, You Can Expect Your Dog to:

  • Walk on a loose leash
  • Stay on their bed
  • Come when you call them 
  • Remain in a Sit or Down until you release them
  • Behave appropriately when people come to your door
