Guaranteed Dog Training

Guaranteed Dog Training offers a comprehensive range of programs. Group classes include Basic Obedience, a 4-week course covering fundamental commands like heel, come, sit, down, and stay, along with manners and socialization. Advanced Obedience, offered in two parts (4 weeks and 3 weeks), focuses on off-leash control, hand signals, and obedience in distracting environments.

Specialty group classes like Rally, Agility, and Dog Tricks are 3-week programs designed for fun, exercise, and building communication, with opportunities to earn AKC titles. Private Lessons are one-hour, in-home sessions tailored to address specific behavioral issues such as jumping, nipping, chewing, excessive barking, and potty training.

The Board and Train program provides intensive training over 2-3 weeks, where dogs stay at a trainer’s home and receive daily training in obedience, breaking bad habits, good manners, and socialization, including participation in group classes. All programs emphasize positive reinforcement and natural training methods, welcoming all breeds after puppy shots or a beginner class.
