Essentials for Dogs
Right now you’ve gotten through puppyhood and maybe you’ve already taught your dog a ton of things. Now it’s time to kick it up a few notches with our self-paced adult dog programs!
Now that your dog is a bit older, it’s the perfect time to make sure they walk right with you, paying attention to you and really understanding what you want from them… even around distractions.
That means you’ll have way more freedom to enjoy your dog in way more situations.
This program is the foundation (and truly the ESSENTIALS!) of EVERYTHING you will ever want to be able to do with your dog.
Or maybe life happened when your dog was younger and you weren’t able to get their training super solid… so now you need a restart!
They’re dragging you down the street on walks, having some pretty irritating “selective hearing”, or just generally haven’t grown out of some things that you thought were just puppy things.
This program is perfect for families who want to pick up or continue their dog’s training, having exactly what you need to be successful from the start… 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!
In this program, 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.
This program includes Basic Obedience Class: Loose Leash Walking 101 which is completed over 7-12 weeks, in your home, through independent-study self-paced easy and interesting online learning.
Beyond the Essentials (COMING SOON)
BESIDES the essentials having exactly what you need to be successful from the start and understanding what’s going on in your dog’s head, you’ll learn how to make sure your dog comes to you when you call (even past really tempting distractions!), watches you when you REALLY need them to focus, and actually listens when you ask them to sit or lay down.
Distractions are part of everyday life! Right now it might seem impossible to get your dog’s attention when something else has it… food that was dropped, other dogs, visitors, or the wind simply blowing.
In this program we’ll work on your dog’s ability to focus on you even when there are tons of temptations, and have self control for things like staying where they are (even near food with you out of the room!).
This means TONS more freedom for you and your dog… you can trust your dog to listen to you even in real life distracting situations.
This program includes:
- Basic Obedience: Loose Leash Walking 101, which is completed over 7-12 weeks, in your home, through independent-study self-paced easy and interesting online learning.
- Intermediate Obedience: Beyond the Leash, 7-12 weeks of learning that focuses on building self control around difficult distractions. Your dog will learn to sit and down every time you ask and stay in position no matter what is going on and he will also learn the foundation for an amazing come when called!
- BONUS: Play and Enrichment Course – learn how to train your dog while having fun. Teach your dog tricks to impress your friends like shake and roll over. Learn new games to play with your dog that are not only lots of fun but also teach valuable everyday skills that will make your dog the neighborhood superstar.
- Private, Personal 1-hour Video-Chat Lesson with your trainer! Ask anything you like and make sure you never get stuck.
Life Skills for Freedom (COMING SOON)
True freedom to enjoy life with your dog, wherever it takes you!
This program is everything you need to go anywhere and do anything with your dog.
It even includes teaching your dog how to listen when there’s no leash on… which is awesome since our dogs spend 99% of their lives off leash at home anyway!
Getting them to come from across the house or far away in a park off leash, past other dogs or squirrels, leave things alone when you tell them…
AND improving your dog’s self control at the front door… these are all things included in this program.
This program includes:
- Basic Obedience Class: Loose Leash Walking 101, which is completed over 7-12 weeks, in your home, through independent-study self-paced easy and interesting online learning.
- Intermediate Obedience: Beyond the Leash Course – 7-12 weeks of learning that focuses on building self control around difficult distractions. Your dog will learn to sit and down every time you ask and stay in position no matter what is going on and he will also learn the foundation for an amazing come when called!
- Advanced Obedience: Life SKills – 7-12 weeks of learning that will build important skills like drop it, leave it and come when called no matter what distractions are there.
