Dog obedience training is an essential part of a dog's development. It not only helps in building a stronger bond between the owner and the dog but also helps in improving the dog's behavior and socialization skills. Basic obedience training lays the foundation for advanced training, and it is essential to ensure that the dog has a strong foundation before moving on to advanced training.

Skipping Enhanced Training

While basic training is a prerequisite for advanced obedience training, we understand that some dogs may be ready to progress directly from basic to advanced training. At DogMaster K9, we evaluate each dog's skills and abilities before recommending the training program that best suits them. If we believe that your dog is ready for advanced training, we may suggest skipping the enhanced training and moving directly to advanced training.

Off-Leash Training with Distractions

Our advanced obedience training program focuses on off-leash training with distractions. We train your dog to ignore distractions and focus on completing the exercise successfully. For example, we may train your dog on a busy street corner, where there are many distractions such as people, cars, and other animals. Our goal is to teach your dog to remain obedient even in the face of distractions.
