Programs

Training isn’t just about puppy obedience or obedience training; it’s about fostering a true partnership that can even extend to therapy dog training.

Obedience Training

At The Elite Dog, we provide two levels of obedience training designed to meet your dog’s unique needs. Our Basic Obedience program emphasizes essential commands through on-leash training, laying a strong foundation for your dog. For those looking for more advanced skills, our Advanced Obedience builds on this foundation by introducing off-leash techniques and handling real-world distractions. It's important to note that all dogs must complete Basic Obedience before progressing to Advanced, ensuring a solid base for success. Additionally, we offer specialized puppy obedience and therapy dog training to further enhance your dog's capabilities.

Behavior Modification

Our Behavior Modification program complements basic obedience training by addressing specific issues that may need extra attention. Whether your dog struggles with leash pulling, barking at other dogs, or other targeted behaviors, we provide focused training to help them improve in these areas. This includes elements of puppy obedience and can also support therapy dog training for those looking to enhance their dog's skills.

Therapy Dog Training

At The Elite Dog, we specialize in therapy dog training—a rewarding journey that prepares your dog to bring comfort to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, disaster areas, and more. We begin with obedience training to evaluate your dog’s temperament, ensuring they’re suited for this compassionate role. Then, we guide them through step-by-step training, including essential puppy obedience techniques, to build the skills needed to become a nurturing therapy dog.

Puppy Obedience

Our Puppy Obedience program begins with Puppy Kindergarten for puppies aged 8 to 12 weeks, focusing on potty training, crate training, and simple basic commands. After 12 weeks, puppies are ready to advance to their first level of on-leash obedience training. Puppies start learning the moment they enter your home, so setting them on the right path early through effective puppy obedience practices helps prevent unwanted behaviors down the line. Additionally, for those interested in therapy dog training, early obedience training lays a solid foundation for future success.
