Dog training sessions typically focus on teaching dogs obedience, good manners, and specific skills using positive reinforcement techniques. Sessions can be tailored to each individual dog- depending on breed, age, temperament, and the goals of the owner.
Depending on the sessions goals, a break down of the sessions would look like the following:
1- Assessment & Goal Setting
-Evaluation of the dog (temperament & understanding of the dog)
- Discussion about the goals and objectives the owner is looking to achieve (what are you wanting your pup to achieve)
2- Basic Obedience Training
- Teaching of fundamental commands ( examples: sit, stay, down, come, heel, leave it)
- Use of treats and praise would be used as rewards to reinforce good behavior
3- Behavior Modification (as needed)
- Evaluation of what behaviors need to be changed( jumping, barking, biting, or leash pulling)
- Implementing ways to redirect these behaviors for the dog, and teaching skills to the owner to help maintain consistency in this redirection
4 - Leash & Socialization Training
- Helping the dog walk on the leash without pulling
- May introduce the dog to new environments, people, and other animals in a controlled matter ( if needed)
5 - Advanced Training ( if previous skills accomplished)

- Training for therapy, service, or working dog skills
6- Owner Education
- Once we have the dog achieving the goals & objectives, now comes teaching the owner ways to maintain these skills

7- Review & Looking Forward
