Wasatch Peak Dog Training

Wasatch Peak Dog Training offers three main programs: Puppy Training, 9-Week DIY, and Board & Train.

The Puppy Training program is for puppies under 5 months old and focuses on engagement, potty and crate training, manners (jumping, nipping, chewing), basic obedience (sit, down, recall), and proper socialization. This program offers three formats: Private Training (one-on-one in your home for 4 weeks), Group Training (at their West Haven location for 4 weeks, requiring a minimum of 3 participants), and Puppy Board & Train (2 weeks living with the trainer, followed by 4 weeks of in-home private training).

The 9-Week DIY Program is designed for dogs 5 months and older, offering a hands-on approach for owners. It consists of 9 consecutive weekly sessions conducted in the client’s home. A professional trainer guides owners through techniques and provides at-home exercises. The program aims to solve all behavior issues and achieve off-leash reliability, focusing on commands like Place, Leave it, Sit, Down, Stay, Recall, Heel (on and off leash), Waiting at doorways, Loading in/out of a vehicle, and Public access training. All commands are taught off-leash using the “3 D’s of training” (Duration, Distance, and Distraction). Owners are expected to dedicate 1.5 hours daily to training.

The Board & Train Program is for dogs 5 months and older, where the dog lives with the trainer for 3-4 weeks for an intensive transformation. The daily routine includes play, one-on-one training, quiet times, multiple walks, off-leash outings, and field trips to dog-friendly stores. Dogs are crated at night. After the board and train, several private in-home sessions are provided to ensure owners can maintain the learned behaviors. This program aims to address the root of behavioral problems holistically, focusing on the same advanced obedience commands as the 9-Week DIY program, all performed off-leash with Duration, Distance, and Distraction. For puppies under 5 months, a 2-week Board & Train is offered, followed by 4 weeks of in-home private puppy training.
