Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
Dog Woods Training Center offers several distinct programs. Their **Obedience Classes** include a six-week basic obedience course designed to teach dogs commands they will perform even when distracted. This category features a **Puppy Class** for pups 8-16 weeks old, covering socialization, basic commands, and age-specific issues, and a **Beginner Class** for dogs over 16 weeks old focusing on good manners and reliable command following.
Their **Fast-Track Training** options involve one-on-one training with a professional trainer. **Day Training** allows dogs to be dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening, receiving a minimum of three 45-minute training sessions focused on client-identified issues. The **Three Week Camp Program** is an intensive board and train option, teaching basic obedience commands and manners such as Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Loose-leash walking, Heeling, and No Jumping.
Additionally, Dog Woods offers **Classes For Fun**, which include Agility training, Scent Work, and Advanced Obedience courses for all skill levels, from beginners to competitive participants. A **Training “Add-On”** is available for dogs boarding at Dog Woods, treating them as Day Training dogs on enrolled days, with a private lesson included if three or more days are booked. Boarding eligibility requires prior or current enrollment in a Dog Woods training class or previous attendance in the Camp Program.
