Dog Training Services

Our dogs become members of our family, with their own personalities and strengths. Our training process uses proven methods that are a positive experience for the dogs. From pet dogs to highly trained protection dogs, we build a solid foundation with training for an end result of a well-balanced animal set up for long term success. We read the dogs effectively and recognize that dogs have individual personalities just like we do! We train each dog as such, no cookie cutter methods are used.

Inboard Obedience Training

Our Abingdon, VA dog board and train facility is a great way to get your dog’s behavior on the right track. We will board your dog for 2-3 weeks while building a solid foundation of positive behaviors on leash first, followed by off leash beahviors. We also involve owners to train them on how to carry through this training past the boarding phase and enhance the relationship between dog and owner.

Private Dog Training Lessons

One on one training for you and your dog. One of our most popular services for anyone who has the opportunity and ability to train their dogs at home several times a day. It is important for the owner to consistently work these exercises so that when we meet for the next lesson we can move forward.

Behavior Modification Dog Training

Dogs, like people, are cognitive, free-thinking individuals. Also like people dogs can have aberrant behaviors. Our behavior-modification program addresses aberrant behaviors in your dog. We evaluate your dog and then plan a road map for success. We teach you and your dog the tools to manage and train toward a consistent predictable family member.

 

Personal Protection Dog Training

We use the animals’ natural drives to teach guarding abilities and proper biting mechanics. Pairing that with correctly structured obedience – we create a capable, predictable, and well-balanced animal that will be an integral part of your family and gladly stand in the gap of a threat to protect. We like to work and think outside the box. Custom plans can be made to accommodate your unique situation.

We also provide a customized set of “Go-Home” videos of your dog at work so you will have the material to reference at any point in the future.
