  • Accept a Friendly Stranger: Teach your dog to remain calm and polite when meeting new people.

  • Loose-Leash Walking: Say goodbye to pulling! Your dog will learn to walk calmly by your side on a loose leash.
  • Social Walking Through Crowds: We’ll teach your pup to navigate through crowds without becoming overly excited or stressed.
  • ‘Watch’ Command: Mastering eye contact with you upon command, enhancing focus and attention.
  • Supervised Separation: Training your dog to be comfortable with short periods of separation from you.
  • Sociable Interaction with Another Dog: Encouraging friendly and polite interaction with other dogs.
  • Advanced Command Proficiency: Your dog will refine their obedience with commands such as “Heel,” “Sit,” “Down,” “Come,” and “Sit-Stay,” performed with and without a leash.
 
The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certification
 

A central goal of our Basic Obedience Training program is to prepare your dog for the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. This prestigious recognition is not just a certificate; it’s a testament to the bond you and your dog have developed through patience, training, and mutual respect. The CGC certification involves mastering ten skills that showcase your dog’s manners and obedience. Passing the CGC test is a proud milestone for you and your pup, signifying your commitment to responsible dog ownership and your dog’s ability to behave politely in society.
