What Does “Basic Obedience” Mean?

Basic Obedience Dog Training refers to the teaching of verbal commands and hand signals. Obedient dog behavior means that the dog knows what action is expected of them when given a command. An obedient dog knows what behavior is appropriate, knows that you are the pack leader, and teaches your dog a firm foundation for off-leash training.

You will still be responsible for overnight boarding costs. (e.g. if Rex comes to stay with us for 7 days, he will receive refresh training for those days at no cost. You will be responsible for the cost of boarding on those days.) Lifetime refresh training only applies to basic obedience and what was learned in that program.

A Secret To Good Dog Behavior

One of the keys to good behavior (basic obedience) is to make sure that your dog gets plenty of exercise. The idea behind this is that exercise releases excessive energy. Your dog’s attention can then be redirected toward calmer and more obedient behavior. Positive reinforcement and consistency are a very important part of your dog’s training, so having a routine will help ensure continued success!

Now It’s Your Turn…

A large part of the success of our Basic Obedience Training Program is reliant on the role of the dog’s guardian. We’ve included three hands on, private lessons for the dog’s family to teach them how to be the pack leader. The goal of these sessions is to ensure that the dog’s guardian understands how to give commands, so that there is a smooth transition home.
