Las Vegas Dog Training
You shouldn't have to struggle to do basic tasks throughout your day, such as walking your dog or answering your door. You should also be able to have friends and family over to your home without worrying about your dog's behavior. You should even be able to take your dog on adventures, such as hikes or camping if that is what you'd like to do.
A properly trained dog can change the quality of life for both you and your pup and training may be the single most important investment you make for your four-legged family member. We say that in all seriousness, although until you've experienced it yourself you may not fully understand what we mean.
Keep in mind that "properly trained" is what we're referring to and after having some bad experiences with local trainers, we can confirm that bad training is worse than no training at all and an experienced trainer dedicated to providing a better quality of life for dogs and their owners is life-changing.
It changed ours.
We're thankful for the bad experiences we had with training because it put us in a position to do extensive research, learn what we needed/wanted, learn how pups should react to their trainer, and appreciate an educated and experienced trainer when we found her so we could learn from the best.
You should also be able to ask simple things of your dog such as...
• sit
• stay
• come
and know that they will do what is asked.
Sometimes, those verbal commands are a matter of safety.
Our Las Vegas dog training programs offer a variety of options to make training accessible for everyone and are designed for dogs with varying levels of training needs.
LAS VEGAS PUPPY TRAINING
Our puppy training program is designed for dogs up to 6 months of age and begins with a one-hour, in-home training consultation. We'll go over all of the basics such as potty training, teething, socialization, crate training, puppy scheduling, recall and leash manners. We'll provide a slip-lead for dogs without one, will demonstrate the proper use of a slip lead and provide recommendations for training treats, age/breed appropriate toys/teethers along with food recommendations if needed.
Additional, one-hour private puppy training sessions can be scheduled to focus more in-depth on teaching you how to work with your puppy to get the response you want from them. These sessions can be used to cover a variety of needs such as recall, leash manners, handling in public, potty-training, crate training, mental stimulation and activities, dog introductions, meeting new people, and more.
Alternatively, if you are not in a position to train your new puppy yourself due to job and family obligations, our puppy board and train program may be for you. Your pup will board with us for 2-3 weeks so we can focus around the clock on potty training, crate training, recall and socialization while teaching your puppy leash manners.

LAS VEGAS OBEDIENCE TRAINING
This program is designed for dogs who are 6 months of age or older that are potty trained and exhibit the ability for comprehension with retention. Our obedience training program begins with an in-home behavioral and cognitive evaluation where we'll be able to discuss your training wants/needs while learning about your dog in their own environment. With the information gathered, we'll be able to provide our advice for the best path for training, give guidance on socialization if needed, recommend training tools you may want to pick up and diet/food recommendations if requested.
Based on your training needs, if we feel your dog would benefit from session training, one-hour private sessions may be offered to you. These are focused sessions where we'll teach you how to work with your dog to get the response you want from them. These sessions can be scheduled to cover a variety of topics, including but not limited to recall, sit and stay, leash manners, handling in public, crate behavior, problem-solving potty-training, mental stimulation and activities, dog introductions, and more.
If your dog is struggling with low confidence due to a lack of socialization or anxiety, learning new skills may be a struggle for them and session training may not be effective without daily reinforcement. If you do not have the time to work your dog through this with confidence-building exercises, our two-week boot camp may be what they need. Our confidence boot camp focuses on building up your dog with daily socialization, desensitization and daily exploration of new people/places/things while learning to trust their handler. They'll learn leash manners and to come/sit when called. Once boot camp is over, they'll be ready for discounted, private training sessions if you'd like to advance their skills.
While our session training program is designed to teach you how to train your dog with hands-on instruction, our basic obedience board and train is where we train your dog for you and then show you how to use their newly acquired skills to improve the quality of life for everyone in your home. This program covers leash manners, socialization/desensitization for dogs who need it, crate training, recall and commands such as sit/down/place/stay/off. We'll also work on public obedience and can provide a diet evaluation with food recommendations if needed/requested. For dogs who come confident and eager to learn, this program lasts about 4 weeks on average but dogs who lack confidence or need work with advanced behavioral issues can take a bit longer. Regardless of how long your dog is with us, they will come home ready to show off all they've learned and will bring home all of the training tools needed to work with the effectively. These tools vary from one dog to another as they all have unique needs but may include a training collar(s), collar-specific leashes, a training cot and more.

SKILLED TRAINING
Our skilled training program is perfect for dogs who have already completed a basic obedience program with a professional trainer and have very STRONG/CLEAN obedience but are in need of additional training to add to their bag of skills, such as off-leash eCollar training and/or extra help with a new skill or problem area. Each professionally trained dog will have an in-home evaluation to determine their level of obedience and to see if an obedience refresher may be required prior to moving forward with skilled training. Depending on what your training goals are and where your dog's current training level is, we'll be able to discuss options during our visit with you.
We do not provide service dog training.
