Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

Equipment: 

  • Obstacle Courses

Top Dog Training offers both group classes and private lessons. Group classes focus on helping dogs interact with other dogs and respond to owners amidst distractions, while owners benefit from observing others and camaraderie. Group classes include unlimited access.

Private lessons are conducted at the client’s home, ideal for addressing specific behavioral problems in the dog’s natural environment. These lessons also include access to group classes, combining one-on-one instruction with social interaction. Private lesson options include a 4-week package (once a week) and individual 1-on-1 sessions.

Their curriculum covers basic obedience commands such as Heel, Sit, Down, Stay, Come, and Boundary training. Advanced obedience programs include off-leash control using hand signals, article retrieval, and agility training (coming soon). They also offer scent trailing, which trains dogs to find people and objects from short distances to miles away, and is particularly beneficial for building confidence in shy dogs.

About the Trainer

Top Dog Training, also known as Webster’s Obedience School, is dedicated to helping dog owners build balanced, obedient, and respectful relationships with their dogs. They believe that both dogs and owners need training, as dogs are constantly learning.

They offer various training formats including group classes, where dogs learn to interact with others despite distractions, and private lessons conducted at the client’s home. Private lessons are designed to address specific behavioral problems in the dog’s environment and also include access to group classes.

Their curriculum covers basic obedience commands such as Heel, Sit, Down, Stay, Come, and Boundary training. They also address common behavioral issues like leash pulling, chewing, digging, barking, biting, timidness, and dog/human aggression.

For advanced training, they provide off-leash obedience, article retrieval, and agility (coming soon). Additionally, they offer scent trailing, which leverages a dog’s strong sense of smell to find people and objects, and is particularly beneficial for shy or introverted dogs to build confidence.
