Training

Having a dog well trained in obedience makes all the difference. Socializing with kids, adults, other animals, and different environments will make life so much more enjoyable. Lead training, off lead, sit, stay, crate training, load and unload a vehicle, as well as, recall will allow you to go out in public with confidence. At K9 Assist we will start training our or your puppies at 8 weeks old. By doing this, we eliminate bad behavior before it begins.

FAQs

Why does my dog need training?

Getting a dog professionally trained offers numerous benefits, both for the dog and its owner. Professional training helps ensure that your dog develops good behavior, socializes well with other animals and people, and learns essential commands for safety and control. Additionally, a well-trained dog is typically more confident and less anxious, making them more enjoyable companions. For owners, professional training can foster a stronger bond with their pet, reduce stress, and create a more harmonious living environment. It’s an investment that pays off in a well-behaved, happy dog that enhances your life in many ways.

What is my role or commitment in the training process?

As a dog trainer, my commitment is to help each dog and owner build a strong, positive relationship through effective training. My role goes beyond teaching commands; I focus on understanding your dog’s individual needs and behaviors, and tailoring the training to fit them. I’m dedicated to creating a supportive environment where your dog feels motivated and confident, while also guiding you through the process so you can reinforce good behavior at home. Throughout the training, I’m here to provide feedback, adjust techniques as needed, and ensure that both you and your dog are on the path to lasting success. My goal is to make sure your dog becomes a well-behaved companion and that you both enjoy the journey together.
