Dog Obedience Training

Dogs of all breeds, sizes & ages are welcome.

The trainers at My Doggies Daycare do not train dogs the way a lot of other trainers do. To them, commands like "heel," "sit" and "stay" are useful, but are really just one means to an end. The end being a nice, calm, responsive dog that can be taken most anywhere, trusted in the house, and can be around other dogs.
We often get calls from people who say their dog previously "failed" dog obedience training. The issue is typically not the dog but what the other dog obedience instructor failed to successfully teach the owner. Our method focuses on both ends of the leash to set our dogs up for success!

Basic Obedience Training

Did you just get a new puppy, or adopt a dog from the shelter? Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your new pup and is the foundation for solving just about any problem.  Training opens up a line of effective communication which is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want him/her to do.  Come, sit, down, stay, walk on leash, and off commands are just the beginning.  Obedience training will help your dog learn to listen to your instructions, even when around distractions. Techniques are based on the individual temperament of your dog; ensuring a more positive outcome.

Behavior Issues

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, dig holes in your yard, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal canine activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. For example, the dog will eliminate on the carpet instead of outside; the dog will bark all night long instead of just when a stranger is prowling around outside; or the dog will chew furniture instead of his own toys. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect his natural behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

Private Training vs. Group Training

One of the first decisions a dog owner will have to make regarding training includes whether they wish to enroll in private training classes or group training classes. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. While group classes are typically less expensive, they are not usually as effective as one-on-one training. Private training allows the trainer to devote all of her attention to the dog, ensuring their ultimate success.
The major advantage to group training classes is they allow the dog the opportunity to socialize with other dogs during the class. By utilizing our “K-9 Daycamp” programs, dog owners can receive the best of both worlds: all the benefits of private training, plus the play and interaction with other dogs. 

In-home Training

In-home training allows you to work with your dog in your home, the setting in which many behavior problems occur. Many of our programs will combine in-home classes with classes at the daycare to provide interaction with other dogs. Every dog is unique in his/her own way, which means the "cookie-cutter" approach is usually ineffective.

Training Packages

Training is customized to the needs of you and your dog; whether your canine friend requires obedience lessons, behavior modification, or a combination of both, we can accommodate.

  m“My life without dogs would be incomplete. Those of you who share my feelings know how intensely strong and deeply fulfilling the human/canine bond is.
   By combining positive reinforcement with enthusiastic motivation, and using humane correction methods, I will teach you how to establish leadership within your family pack. We can then build on that solid foundation by training your dog to respect your leadership, trust you implicitly, and look to you for direction. I will show you how to communicate with your dog in a positive and fair manner rather than resorting to being harsh or angry.
