Our Dog Obedience Training Services
Austin dog owners often seek training for leash pulling, unreliable recall, jumping, weak household manners, or obedience that breaks down around distractions. The company publishes foundational, advanced, and immersive obedience options.
Dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs may be considered for a separate eight-lesson Aggressive Dog Training program.
In-Home Basic Obedience Training
The In-Home Basic Obedience program includes four private lessons completed at the owner’s home.
The published curriculum includes:
- Come
- Sit and extended sit
- Place and extended place
- Heel or loose-leash walking
- Down and extended down
- Off
The pricing page lists the first six skills, while the individual product page also lists “Out” for asking the dog to drop an item. Confirm the current curriculum with the training team before enrolling.
An e-collar and training leash are included. The website does not publish the length of each lesson, so confirm scheduling and lesson duration with the training team.
This program may suit dogs that need foundational command work and owners who prefer to participate in private lessons from the beginning. Individual results depend on the dog and the owner’s continued practice.
Two-Week Board and Train
The Two-Week Board and Train provides two weeks of immersive training while the dog boards with a professional trainer.
The published program includes:
- Come
- Sit and extended sit
- Place and extended place
- Heel for on-leash and off-leash walking
- Down and extended down
- Off
- Full off-leash recall
- Work around multiple distractions in multiple environments
- Greeting, door, and meal manners
- An e-collar and training leash
- A two-hour owner handoff session
The pricing page also lists lifetime refreshers. Owners should confirm current eligibility, scheduling, and refresher terms during the consultation. Continued owner handling and practice remain important after the dog returns home.
In-Home Aggressive Dog Training
The In-Home Aggressive Dog Training program is an eight-lesson, eight-week program for dogs displaying aggression or reactivity around other dogs.
The program includes the Basic Obedience package and additional lessons working with the owner and dog around other dogs in different scenarios. Published goals include providing owners with skills, tools, desensitization, and improved control.
The website does not confirm that the standard program addresses resource guarding, separation anxiety, territorial aggression, or other people-directed concerns. Share every behavior, previous incident, and bite history during the free phone consultation.
Complete correction of major dog aggression or people aggression cannot be guaranteed. Training may provide better control and help owners manage these concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Obedience Training
How Long Does Dog Obedience Training Take?
Training length varies by program. Basic Obedience includes four private lessons, Basic and Advanced includes eight, Board and Train lasts two weeks, and Aggressive Dog Training includes eight lessons over eight weeks. Scheduling varies, and progress depends on the dog, training history, owner participation, and continued practice.
Do You Use E-Collars in Obedience Training?
Published Basic Obedience, Basic and Advanced Obedience, and Two-Week Board and Train programs include an e-collar and training leash. The website generally begins e-collar training when dogs are at least five months old. Ask the team which methods and equipment apply and how to use them correctly.
What If My Dog Has Never Had Professional Obedience Training?
Start with a free phone consultation to discuss your dog’s needs. Basic Obedience teaches foundational commands through four private lessons. Puppies under five months may begin with a Puppy Training Consultation or the self-paced Online Puppy Course. The best starting point depends on age, behavior, experience, physical ability, and your goals.
Is In-Home Training Better Than Board and Train?
Neither option is automatically better. In-home training includes four or eight private lessons at your home and lets you participate throughout the process. The Two-Week Board and Train offers immersive training with a professional and concludes with a two-hour owner handoff. Choose based on your dog’s needs, schedule, and desired involvement.
