Comprehensive Dog Training Programs

1. Obedience Training

Our obedience training program focuses on building foundational skills and fostering better behavior. Whether you want to address minor issues or develop advanced obedience, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what we cover:

• Walking on a leash without pulling
• Basic commands like sit, stay, and come
• Socialization with other dogs and people
• Advanced commands for off-leash reliability

These sessions focus on positive reinforcement and structured learning to build confidence and trust between you and your dog.

2. Puppy Training

Training your puppy right away is essential for shaping a well-behaved adult dog. Our puppy training program focuses on teaching good habits from the start, covering:

• Potty training and crate training
• Proper leash-walking techniques
• Basic obedience commands like “sit” and “stay”
• Socialization to prevent fear or anxiety
• Managing puppy-specific challenges like biting and chewing

With our help, your puppy will develop a solid foundation for lifelong obedience and good behavior.

3. Off-Leash Training

Imagine the freedom of having complete control of your dog, even without a leash. Our off-leash training program is designed to achieve just that, focusing on:

• Recall training so your dog comes when called
• Distance commands like “sit” and “stay” from afar
• Walking off-leash in high-distraction environments

This program is perfect for pet owners who want their dogs to have more freedom while maintaining safety and control.

4. Dog Behavior Modification

For dogs with challenging behaviors, our behavior modification program provides solutions tailored to specific issues, including:

• Aggression toward people or other animals
• Separation anxiety
• Excessive barking or whining
• Fear or lack of confidence in certain situations

Our trainers use proven techniques to address the root causes of these behaviors, ensuring lasting improvements.

Our Unique Board-and-Tune Program

One of the standout features at Glass City K9 is our Board-and-Tune program. This service combines boarding with focused training sessions, making it perfect for busy pet owners or dogs that need reinforcement of learned behaviors.

During their stay, your dog will:

• Participate in daily training sessions tailored to their specific needs.
• Reinforce obedience skills in a structured environment.
• Return home with improved behavior and better responsiveness to your commands.

Whether you’re traveling or need extra support with training, this program delivers reliable results.
