Making man's best friend even better II

Does your dog still:
  • Bark excessively?
  • Pull on the leash?
  • Destroy household items?
  • Jump on people?
Advanced Obedience

For owners who would like to continue beyond Basic Obedience training, an advanced class may be available.  This should cover in-motion commands and commands from a distance.  This sets the foundation for your dog’s off-leash conditioning.

Your dog should learn:
  • Proper behavior and socialization
  • To heel by your side
  • Automatic sit and hold the sit
  • Down and sit by your side
  • Down and sit from a distance
  • Down and stay command
  • Come
  • Place
  • Down and sit in motion
Residential Training Program
Some dog trainers offer a "sleep over camp," where your dog stays with a certified trainer, taking care of your dog's daily needs along with advancing his training during the course of his stay.

Your dog should learn:
  • Proper behavior
  • Socialization skills
  • Crate training
  • House breaking
  • On leash commands with hand signals
  • All basic obedience commands and in-motion commands
Be sure to find out if your dog trainer offers follow-up training sessions or additional help for unique circumstances.
