How We Can Help
Build Strong Relationship
The most important thing for dog training is to have a strong relationship with your dog. Dogs who respect their owners are more likely to respond positively to obedience.
Reduce Stress
Training can also help reduce a dog's overall stress level, resulting in a dog that is calmer and more peaceful.
Listen & Follow Directions
Training will teach your dog how to listen and follow directions, which will make it easier for you to control them in public or around strangers.
The Benefits of Training Your Dog
Since many dogs are prone to boredom or even anxiety without proper training, training your dog offers a variety of benefits for both you and your pet. Training helps to establish communication between the dog and handler, builds trust, and can help correct problem behaviors. In addition, training can provide both physical and mental stimulation for dogs, which can have a very positive effect on your dog's behavior and help keep them out of trouble. Properly trained dogs are also more welcome in public places and are often better behaved around other people and animals.

Some Tips for Training a Puppy
Want to get started with training your puppy at home? Here are some dog training tips for beginners:
Start with basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. These will lay the foundation for future training.
Be consistent with your commands and rewards (positive reinforcement). Repetition is key!
Keep training sessions short and fun so your puppy stays interested.
Don't forget to socialize your dog with other people, animals, and environments (this will help prevent behavior problems later on).
