Welcome to What An Obedient Dog!

What An Obedient Dog! uses positive dog training techniques, reward-based force-free training methods! With positive puppy and adult dog training, you are encouraging your dog to do what you are asking by rewarding him with something he likes (a treat or game). In other words, he works for food, or a reward, just as we would go to work and earn our paycheck for our hard work. Once your dog learns the behavior you are asking, you can randomly use treats.

ONLINE DOG OBEDIENCE CLASSES

The Puppy/Beginner obedience classes include teaching the basics commands, such as sit, down, come, release, stay, leave it, take it, drop it, watch me, leash walking, and discussions on behavior problems including, barking, nipping, biting, chewing, digging, jumping, etc. The cost is $169 for the 6 week program.

The Middle School classes (level II) which is the next level after our Puppy/ Beginner classes where we will add distance, duration and distractions to the basics, which will help your dog focus on you despite what is going on around them. We will also learn heel by my side, park it which is "go lie down on your mat until I release you" and more. The cost is $169 for the 6 week program.

The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Preparation with Exam class is where your dog is almost guaranteed to pass and receive his canine good citizen certification - that is as long as you do your homework! We also administer the CGC Exam, so your dog can become an AKC Canine Good Citizen and ready for service dog work or therapy dog work, or if you just want him to be your calm companion. The cost is $179 for the 7 week program (includes the test).
