Nebraska Dog Trainers

Nebraska Dog Trainers uses a three-phase method: Phase 1 (Show & Tell) teaches commands using positive reinforcement; Phase 2 (Practice & Accountability) builds duration, distance, and distraction resistance; Phase 3 (Exposure & Habit) generalizes skills in public environments. Programs include private lessons (1–8 sessions), 1- or 2-week board-and-train immersion, and specialized leash manners or puppy foundation courses. Board-and-train clients receive a 2-hour follow-up session to learn how to maintain training at home.

Nebraska Dog Trainers offers private dog training lessons, behavior consultations, and board-and-train programs designed to help dog owners build a strong, respectful bond with their pets through clear communication and positive reinforcement. They specialize in teaching obedience commands like sit, down, stay, heel, and recall, while addressing behavioral issues such as leash pulling, reactivity, jumping, barking, and door darting. Their unique three-phase training method—Show & Tell, Practice & Accountability, and Exposure & Habit—ensures dogs learn commands in controlled settings, then generalize them to real-world environments. They provide in-facility training in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with options for puppy training, basic and advanced obedience, and intensive 1- or 2-week board-and-train programs. Trainers include Roberta, Michele, Liz, Jessica, and others, who offer daily updates during board-and-train programs and follow-up sessions to ensure long-term success.

They include professional equipment like e-collars, prong collars, and leashes in certain packages, and offer free phone consultations to help owners determine the right program. Their services are available for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all breeds and sizes, with a focus on creating lifelong obedience through consistent, compassionate training.

Additional services include pet boarding during training programs and free refresher lessons for board-and-train clients. They do not offer group classes, in-home training, or grooming services.

The business emphasizes that training is not about control but about mutual understanding, helping dogs choose to obey joyfully rather than out of fear.

They serve Omaha, Lincoln, and Sioux Falls, with training centers located in La Vista, NE and Lincoln, NE.
