Strengthen Your Bond

One of Obedient K9 & Service Dog Training’s most popular dog training services is to teach basic dog obedience training. This includes both in-home dog training sessions

We use positive dog training based on the classical conditioning theory. We believe in using ongoing praise to encourage good behavior. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out.

Obedience dog training covers commands such as:

  • Lay down (next to you & at a distance)

  • Heel (walk with you, no more pulling)

  • Come

  • Place (go to bed)

  • Sit (next to you & at a distance)

  • Off (furniture when desired)

Our Balanced Theory

We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.
