The objective of obedience training is to establish a clear communication channel between you and your dog, fostering a strong bond based on trust and understanding. This will help your dog know you as their pack leader, therefore respecting your instruction and command. Learning basic commands and fundamental skills such as sit, stay, down, leave it, here, heel, etc.. provides your dog with essential skills to navigate their environment, ensuring their safety in potentially dangerous situations. Early obedience training is also integral to managing and preventing behavioral issues, as a well-behaved dog is more likely to be accepted in various social settings and environments. Additionally, structured training sessions provide mental stimulation for your dog, preventing boredom and destructive behaviors. Ultimately, a well-trained and obedient dog is not only a joy to be around but also a safer and more harmonious member of the community.
Training obedience concepts is the foundation to all further bird dog training and must be understood well before progressing to more advanced programs.
Scheduling an initial telephone consult is a great first step that allows us to learn about you, your dog, and your training goals. You can then hear our initial recommendations, learn more about our training services, more about our processes, and ask any questions you may have. You can then determine if scheduling a face to face assessment of your dog, scheduling a one on one training session, or scheduling training with boarding is right for you.
After completing the initial telephone consult, you may be ready for your dog to be assessed in person. During this appointment, we will assess your dogs current level of obedience and natural or previously trained bird dog skills/ abilities. Based on your dogs status and the goals outlined during our telephone conversation, we will then create a training plan to guide you in reaching your goals. During the 1:1 sessions, you will complete hands on learning and work through various steps to meet the goals that you and Steven outlined in your individualized training plan. Those eager to learn with their dog and complete their assigned homework outside of the scheduled sessions would be well-suited for our one on one training sessions.
After our initial phone conversation, you may decide the board and train program may be the best option for you. The boarding and training program works well for those individuals needing short-term boarding services and decide to opt in for a training "tune up." It also works well for those individuals looking to place their dog in a structured environment long term to receive consistent and intensified daily training to reach specific goals on their training plan.
