Basic Puppy Training, for pups 8-16 weeks, consists of 4 one-hour sessions focusing on confidence, leadership, control, and recall introduction.

World Canine, founded by Christopher Murley, is a dog training business dedicated to providing dog owners with the help, answers, and results they need, along with the care, compassion, and understanding they deserve. Christopher is known for his ability to achieve “miracles” with dogs that other trainers have given up on or are unwilling to work with, even with the most challenging K9 issues.

Their unique training method has evolved from older, fear-based military philosophies to one that teaches dogs to want to connect with their handler by choice, promoting confidence, respect, and love. This approach is effective for all dogs, regardless of breed, size, age, or temperament.

World Canine emphasizes a “firm but fair leader” approach and focuses on a dog’s free will and desire to please, rather than relying on bribing with food or causing stress. They state that their method is difficult to learn and master, distinguishing them from trainers who might resort to simpler, less effective techniques. The connection fostered through their training is designed to be long-lasting.
