High Tail Dog Training

Private Obedience Training Lessons are typically five one-hour sessions conducted at the client’s home, street, or a park, addressing specific behavior problems and setting training goals. These lessons cover basic obedience commands such as Heel, Sit, Come, Down, Stay, No, and Place, while teaching dogs attentiveness, self-discipline, and respect. Owners learn how to correctly use a chain collar, apply leash corrections for slack leash walking, and utilize voice commands, body language, and tone. Additional lessons may be needed for reliable off-leash control.

Group Obedience Classes are six weekly one-hour sessions held at Hooker Oak Park. Dogs learn basic obedience commands (Heel, Sit, Come, Stay, Down, No, Place) on leash amidst the distractions of other dogs. Owners are taught correct body language, voice tone, and techniques for precise maneuvering with minimal leash tension. The classes aim to encourage desired responses and provide firm discipline for unacceptable behavior. A six-foot leash and a properly sized chain training collar are required, as harnesses are not used.

E-Collar Conditioning is offered for owners seeking total on and off-leash control, particularly effective for teaching reliable recall and loose leash walking for impulsive, strong-willed, or physically strong dogs. It can also serve as a safety measure to prevent injuries. Dogs must have a foundation in basic obedience before e-collar introduction, which is done through a logical, step-by-step process with variable intensity levels, vibrate mode, and tone warnings.
