Just like children, dogs need guidance and proper training to understand how to behave within the family unit. A dog without training will no doubt develop bad habits and unfavorable behaviors; which over time, will result in your dog becoming the stressful “problem child” instead of a joyful member of the family.
Dog Obedience 101 is a beginning dog training course, created for dog owners who want to learn how to step up to provide the leadership and training their dog needs to become a happy and well-behaved member of the family.
Similar to our classic group training classes, this online course allows you to train your dog from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace and when your unique schedule allows.
Through this online course, you will be guided through 7 weeks of simple, easy to follow video lessons that will teach you step by step how to train your dog in basic obedience commands. As a special bonus, you also gain access to our Hotline to the Trainer where you get unlimited, direct, one-on-one help with your specific questions.
By teaching your dog to follow your commands as the Leader of the Pack, you will gain the ability to correct your dog's bad habits while teaching him to become a well-mannered member of your pack.
