Basic Obedience Fast Track Program (BOFTP)

Minimum Age 4 Months

Puppies, young dogs, and untrained dogs need a controlled environment with minimal distractions to learn effectively. That’s why I created my BOFTP program. This fast-paced private lesson series is designed to teach your dog basic on-leash obedience, while also providing you with a deeper understanding of dog behavior and strategies for addressing any challenges your dog may face in various situations.

Your dog will learn essential manners, such as “Come,” “Sit,” “Down,” “Stay,” and “Heel,” all while on leash. We will also specifically address common behavioral issues, including jumping, barking, chewing, mouthing, and housebreaking. Once your dog is ready, usually by lessons 3 or 4, they will be introduced to trained dogs, learning how to behave appropriately and socialize, even in the presence of distractions from other dogs and changing environments.

What makes my program stand out from others is the diversity in training environments. Many trainers work with dogs in the same setting each week, which limits the dog to behaving only in that specific environment. In contrast, my training exposes your dog to different environments and a variety of dogs, once they are ready. This approach ensures that your dog will learn to behave confidently and appropriately, no matter where they are or who they are with.

Each week, you’ll learn new exercises to practice, and the following lesson will build upon the previous one, introducing fresh techniques to strengthen your dog’s skills. You’ll also have direct access to me via email for any questions or guidance along the way.

Upon completing this program, your dog will have mastered these core commands and will know how to behave around other dogs and in new situations. You’ll also be prepared to transition into my Group Classes, where your dog will continue their learning alongside other dogs. This class is just the start of your dog’s education, laying the foundation for further growth and development.
