Beginning Obedience lessons cover teaching heel, sit, stay, down and come using verbal and hand signals, group discussions on grooming, nutrition, and dog park etiquette, as well as addressing common behavioral concerns. Intermediate/Advanced Obedience reinforces basic commands with added distractions, hones handling skills, increases the dog’s responsiveness to work off-leash, and adds the obedience commands: finish, long distance down, and down on a recall.
Their most popular training program is the 4-session private in-home program, designed to teach obedience commands and address behavioral concerns such as housebreaking, biting, mouthing, nipping, chewing, digging, barking, jumping, and specific training issues. This program includes discounts to beginner obedience classes to practice with added distractions of a group setting, providing consistency by having the same trainer for private training and group classes.

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
