Essentials for Dogs

Whether you haven’t yet taken an obedience course with your dog OR you have failed out of another program…Whether you have an easy going dog or an unruly adolescent…Whether you have a rescue that you have just adopted or a young dog that you brought home as a puppy…This class is for YOU.

  • Understand how dogs learn and why they do what they do.
  • Build an incredible relationship.
  • Teach your dog to relax in new environments.
  • Teach your dog to walk on a loose leash – no more pulling!
  • Teach your dog to respond to leash communication for sit and down
  • And SO. MUCH. MORE.

This program is the foundation (and truly the ESSENTIALS!) of EVERYTHING you will ever want to be able to do with your dog.

Whether you have taken a puppy class and need to move to the next level in training OR life happened when your dog was younger and you weren’t able to get their training super solid… this class is for you!

Do you wish your dog would stop pulling you down the street on walks? Or do they have some pretty irritating “selective hearing”?  Maybe they just haven’t grown out of some things that you thought were just puppy things? 

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their daily life with their dog.  It will give you the knowledge you need to successfully train your dog AND you’ll finally understand what’s going on in their head, how they learn and how to motivate them to WANT to listen to YOU.  

Your dog will be able to relax more… and so will you!  

Plus you’ll love how the training simply fits into your everyday life and normal routine so your family will enjoy all the time you spend with your dog.

  • Essentials for Dogs is completed over 7 weeks in your home through weekly meetings.  You have complete access to instructional videos and written PDFs to go back and review as much as you need to. You never have to worry about remembering what your instructor told you!
  • Weekly group online meetings with awesome Q&A Sessions!  Want to get the benefit of private 1-on-1 training in a group class format?  Get feedback and get your questions answered along the way!  No question is ever missed so you’re never left feeling stuck.
  • Feedback & critiques of YOUR training practice: Each week you will submit videos that will be critiqued by your trainer. That’s right, your trainer will see you and your dog in the environment that matters most:  your home and neighborhood.  We have found that having our clients turn in video homework provides the accountability needed to help them train consistently and that providing written trainer feedback helps our clients to learn how to most effectively practice each exercise.  The Outcome: Happy Humans and Happy Well-Behaved Dogs Enjoying Life Together!
