D&C Dog Training

D&C Dog Training offers a range of programs tailored to different ages and needs. The Puppy Genius Class is a 6-week group course for puppies 8 weeks to 5 months, focusing on foundational skills like potty training, crate training, basic commands, engagement, and socialization, with an opportunity to test for AKC Puppy Star. The Foundation Obedience Class is an 8-week group course for dogs 5 months and older, covering skills for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test and essential life skills such as loose leash walking, sit, down, stay, place, recall, and greeting strangers.

For advanced training, the Refined Obedience Class is a 6-week course for graduates of Foundation Obedience or Board and Train programs, preparing dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced – Community Canine (CGCA) Test by building on skills in public settings, advanced leash walking, and duration commands. The Tricks for Kicks Class is another 6-week option for graduates, culminating in an AKC Trick Dog Evaluation.

Day Training allows owners to drop off their dogs daily for 2-4 weeks, where dogs receive up to four individual training sessions focusing on customizable behaviors like sit, down, stay, recall, leash walking, and place command, including public outings. The Board & Train program involves dogs staying at the facility for 3-4 weeks (or 6-8 weeks for aggression cases) for intensive, structured training in a home environment with public outings, covering basic obedience, behavior modification, and problem-solving. Owners are encouraged to visit weekly to learn maintenance techniques.

Private Training offers one-on-one sessions at the facility, in-home, or in public areas, addressing basic and advanced obedience, problem-solving, and aggression, requiring active owner participation.
