What Can Your Dog Learn at Obedience Dog Training?

Obedience training is the foundation for a happy and well-behaved dog. Through positive reinforcement and E-collar techniques, we'll help your dog master essential commands that will make everyday life easier for both of you.

• Here Command: Teaching your dog the "Here" command ensures they come to you promptly when called. This command is crucial for safety and allows you to keep your dog under control, whether at the park or in your own backyard.
• Heel Command: Walking politely on a leash is a skill every dog should have. With the "Heel" command, your dog will learn to walk beside you without straying off the path or pulling you.
• Sit Command: Sit" is one of the most fundamental commands your dog can learn. It teaches your dog to sit and wait patiently before crossing the street or greeting visitors at the door.
• Kennel Command: Crate training can be a valuable tool for managing your dog's behavior and providing them with a safe and comfortable space. The "Kennel" command teaches your dog to go to their crate on cue, making it easier to manage their behavior when needed.

What Can Your Dog Learn at Gun Dog Training?

For owners who enjoy hunting or outdoor activities, our specialized gun dog training program teaches your dog the skills needed to excel in the field.

• Single Marked Retrieves: Your dog will learn to retrieve objects such as dummies or birds that have been thrown or shot and bring them back to you.
• Steady to Shot: A gun dog must remain steady and composed when the shot is fired. Through training, your dog will learn to hold its position until given the command to retrieve.
• Deliver to Hand: Your dog will be trained to deliver the retrieved object directly to your hand, ensuring a smooth and efficient hunting experience.
• Blind Retrieves: Dogs are taught to retrieve objects they haven't seen fall, relying on cues from their handler to locate and retrieve the item.
• Double and Triple Marks: Advanced training includes marking and retrieving several objects to simulate real hunting scenarios where your dog must remember and retrieve multiple targets.
• Walk-Up Scenarios: Dogs learn to walk beside their handler in hunting situations, responding to commands while remaining focused on the task at hand.
• Honoring: Your dog will learn to honor the retrieve of another dog, patiently waiting their turn to retrieve until given the command.
