Dog Training Programs

Transformative Dog Training with My Commitment-Based Program

I believe there is a misconception regarding how to deal with the many training issues people face, including obedience training, leash training, crate training, leash reactivity desensitization, puppy training, behavior modification, and more. I will take the confusion out of it and make it simple.  Everyone starts on the same page, and we achieve your goals because we give our dogs the structure and boundaries they need and want.

Experience dog training like never before with my commitment-based program. Make a one-time investment and let the training journey begin. I'll be by your side over several months or however long it takes to achieve your unique goals.  At Great Pups Dog Training, I prioritize your pace and schedule, ensuring flexibility and a personalized approach. Plus, rest easy knowing I am just a text message away if you need assistance.

This program caters to dogs of all ages, all breeds, rescues, and those needing behavior modification. If you anxiously expect a new puppy to arrive in your home, arrange a pre-homecoming consultation with me to set the stage for a rewarding journey.

What's Included

Join my inclusive community with unlimited access to both on and off-leash group workshops, all at no additional charge. Held in convenient East Bay parks, these workshops focus on desensitization, teaching you and your pup to remain calm around other dogs on and off-leash. Puppies as young as five months old are welcome to attend.

Flexible Options - Individual Lessons or Custom Dog Training

Not ready for a full commitment? The lessons from my commitment-based program are also available individually, allowing you to pay as you go. Tailor your training experience with as many or as few lessons as you'd like. Contact me for personalized pricing and to set up a consultation.

Explore Off-Leash Freedom with my New Sessions

Off-leash Manners Matter. Off-handling is vital in various environments like hiking, the beach, and dog parks. Our dogs need proper 'etiquette' in these spaces, just like we do in public. Discover the nuances of handling your dog off-leash over three engaging sessions at different off-leash-friendly venues. We'll cover proper behavior, spatial boundaries, play rules, recall, and engage in insightful conversations about dog training philosophy.

The Dog Training Process

As the trainer and owner of Great Pups Dog Training, I personally handle all aspects of the training. We'll start with private sessions in your home and gradually transition into diverse environments, addressing desensitization in various situations, including interactions with other dogs, both on and off-leash. Sitting down at a restaurant or in a coffee shop to give your dog the experience of a bustling environment.

A Special Focus on Puppies

Commence individualized training for your puppies as early as eight weeks and start the included group workshops at five months. They have immense potential to become amazing adult dogs, and starting early ensures that you and your pup are on the right page. I will help you train your puppy and empower you to continue your education. Puppy pre-arrival home consultations provide valuable insights into my leadership theory of dog training. Schedule one now!

Tailored Dog Training for Rescues

Training for rescued dogs can begin when they join your home. Realize that their true character may take some time to emerge. Whether you've recently rescued a dog or have had one that needs some adjustments for a while, it's never too late to embark on a successful training journey.

Behavior Modification - Let's Tackle Challenges Together

Every dog is unique, and challenges such as resource guarding, barking, or leash aggression require personalized approaches. My full training program or individual components can address these issues. Reach out for a consultation to discuss your dog's specific needs.

Dedicated Client Support

All my programs come with unlimited support via text, email, or phone call for the entire life of your pup. Expect prompt responses to your questions, along with advice and encouragement. If you ever need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.
