Do you need help with your dog training?

Do you have a busy unpredictable schedule?

Do you want your dog to be obedient and have fun while learning?

Basic and Advanced Obedience Training Programs

The Doghouse, LLC offers two basic obedience training programs: Private lessons or a Full Service Training program. Both of these programs can be customized to your dog’s needs and also your training goals. I have a set of commands that I incorporate into the programs as well!

Private Lessons – In Home Visits

Private lessons consist of you and your dog coming once per week to to our training facility for 5 weeks.
The sessions are approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.
The commands I teach include: on leash heel, sit, down, stay, come and a place command.
We will also work on any issues you may be having at home and goals you have with the training.

I can come to your home if your dog is having issues in that environment.

Our second program is our full service training.

Training Program for the Full Service Program Option 1:

Your dog will be trained at our training facility and will learn:

  • On leash heel
  • Sit
  • Down
  • Stay
  • Come
  • Place

I will also work on any other specific issues you are having that you include in the application letter.
The dog will be trained in an environment with other dogs. After the training is complete I will then have lessons with you teaching you the commands and how to reinforce the training for when the dog returns home. All go home lessons will be offered at our facility. I will make a video at the end of the training so that you can see what the dog learned while at The Doghouse.

Training Program for the Full Service Program Option 2:

Your dog will be trained at our training facility, In town, at local parks and dog parks. Your dog will learn:

  • On-Off leash heel
  • Sit
  • Down
  • Stay
  • Off leash come
  • Place
  • Will be tested for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Title (http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm) for a list of what will be on the test
  • Also is welcome to any proofing class offered without paying for the class

This program is customized to what your goals are with the dog and the issues you are having now. All obedience will be taught and proofed under heavy distraction. The dog will be taken into public for all their training. At the end of the program the dog will take its Canine Good Citizen Evaluation. It is up to you to handle the dog or have a trainer handle the dog for the exam. A video will be made at the end of each week so that you can see the progression of the training. Go home lessons will be in the park, at our facility and then in your home.

For both of the programs, the cost includes boarding, training, and go home lessons. The dog doesn’t return to the owner until he/she is preforming all the basic obedience commands and the owner feels comfortable handling the dog. Also remember this is a customized program so I can alter the programs so that they fit your dog’s training needs and your goals!

The full service training program has an application process. To reserve a spot in our full service training program send: a copy of the dog’s vaccination records, a letter describing your pet and the issues you are having (also include what your goals are with the training and the training program you are interested in reserving). A non-refundable deposit made to The Doghouse, LLC is required. If you have certain dates in mind (if you are trying to plan training around a vacation, etc) please include those dates and we will try to accommodate your plans. The address to our training facility and where to send the application is:

The Doghouse, LLC
4365 62nd Ave N
Pinellas Park, FL 33781

When deciding between the private lessons or the full service training programs, what it comes down to is how much time do you have to put towards the training? With the private lessons, it is your job to practice at home so that each week we can progress to the next level. If you know your schedule is inconsistent, then you are better off going with the full service training. That way you are assured you will have a fully trained dog, it is then just up to you to reinforce the commands at home. Let me know if you have any questions or are ready to book training.
