Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

Warren’s Dog Stop offers several training programs, including Board and Train, a 5-week Boot Camp, and Private Hourly Training. The Board and Train program allows dogs to receive training while being boarded.

The 5-week Boot Camp covers a comprehensive set of behaviors, including teaching the dog to focus on their owner (Name command), Sit, Down, and Stay even with minor distractions. It also focuses on confidence-building through field trips and the use of equipment in their training field.

Additional behaviors covered in the Boot Camp include walking at your side without pulling, teaching patience (Wait command for doors and crates), indoor recall with minor distractions, teaching the dog to relax in a specific spot (Place command), and the foundation of ignoring items or people (Leave it command). Private Hourly Training is available for specific needs.

“Warren,I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for all of the support you have given me with my dogs in the protection sports.You took my low drive, seemingly house pet German shepherd Ramsey and help turn him into a Schutzhund 3 dog. many people can make a good dog great, but only a select few can make a marginal dog great!You also have been instrumental in the early training and development of Mongoose, my current mondioring competition dog. Mongoose has placed 6Th at the World Mondioring Cup and 4Th at the FMBB in Europe. He has qualified 12 times at MR3 and 3 of those times are in Europe. I could not have done ANY of this without your help.You are a very talented decoy and as I have told you a million times, one of the nicest people I know in dog sports.Thank you for all of your help, and I wish you great success in the world of professional dog training.Sincerely,”
