Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
Wolfgang Expert Dog Training offers K9 boarding with various lodging options. Their training services include programs for family and protection dogs, with options to purchase trained dogs or rent guard dogs.
The in-kennel training is their most advanced program, where dogs or puppies board for a few weeks (3-4 weeks) while trainers implement a personalized plan. This program covers behavior modification (e.g., no pulling, jumping, biting), obedience (sit, stay, heel, down, recall), and socialization. Each in-kennel package includes six months of free group obedience training and a one-hour private session for the owner before the dog goes home. Protection training is available as an optional add-on.
Private sessions are offered by appointment to address specific behaviors. Group obedience sessions are a 10-session program focusing on basic obedience commands like sit, stay, heel, down, and recall, with an optional introduction to protection training. There are separate group classes for puppies aged 4-7 months and dogs 8 months and up. Advanced training programs require an initial evaluation.
