Dog Obedience Training at Glass City K9

A well-trained dog is a joy to live with; obedience training provides the foundation for good behavior and clear communication. At Glass City K9, we specialize in obedience training that helps dogs learn essential commands, proper manners, and advanced skills for a reliable response in any situation. Whether starting with a young dog or refining the training of an older pet, our structured approach ensures lasting results.

Why Obedience Training Is Important

Proper obedience training goes beyond commands—it strengthens the bond between you and your dog, builds confidence, and prevents problem behaviors before they start. Here’s why every dog benefits from structured training:

  • Better Communication: Clear, consistent commands help your dog understand expectations.
  • Improved Behavior: Training reduces unwanted behaviors such as jumping, excessive barking, and leash pulling.
  • Safety and Control: A well-trained dog listens in distracting environments, making outings stress-free.

Our program addresses key areas of obedience training, ensuring your dog becomes a well-mannered companion.

1. Leash Training & Walking Skills

  • Teaching loose-leash walking to prevent pulling
  • Encouraging focus and engagement on walks

2. Core Obedience Commands

  • Sit, stay, down, and come
  • Leave it and place for impulse control

3. Socialization & Behavior Reinforcement

  • Exposure to different environments, people, and other dogs

4. Advanced Obedience Training
