- ✓ Balanced Training
Empire State K9 Services offers custom-tailored programs designed to meet specific dog behavior goals, suitable for puppies, rescue dogs, or service dogs. Their core offerings include:
The **Family Dog** course covers house breaking, household mannerisms (chewing, jumping, digging, excessive barking), and controlled obedience (Heel, Down-Stay, basic recall in and around the house, practiced in public with distractions). It also includes aggression management (preventing biting, fighting, over-aggressiveness) and behavior modification for fearfulness, phobias, and anxieties. This course also provides service animal preparations and preliminaries.
The **Family Dog Plus (Off-Leash Training)** course requires completion of the Family Dog package. It focuses on achieving ultimate off-leash control anywhere, anytime, near any distractions, including silent hand commands. This course prepares dogs for professional uses such as hunting, guard work, camping, retrieval, boating, traveling, herding, tracking, and Service/Therapy/ESA Work.
The **Family Dog Advanced (Service Animal)** course requires completion of both Family Dog and Family Dog Plus packages. This program emphasizes training dogs to perform specific medical alert or medical assistance commands, tasks, and behaviors tailored to the client’s needs.
