Basic Obedience

Program Overview

The Basic Obedience Program lays the groundwork for every dog’s success. Designed for dogs four months and older, this training focuses on essential commands — sit, stay, heel, and recall — while addressing early behavioral habits like jumping, leash pulling, and distraction. Each lesson builds communication, trust, and consistency, giving owners the tools to handle their dogs confidently in any environment.
