Dog Training at Canine Country Club
Quality dog training is key to a happier dog—and happier family. At Canine Country Club, it’s more than just teaching commands and behaviors. We teach your dog how to become the best family member they can be with exceptional manners, critical thinking, impulse control, and clearer communication. When dogs know what’s expected of them, their confidence goes up and challenging behaviors go down.
Our dog training programs are all customized and built on balanced methods. Our core obedience and manners training includes:
- Sit and down, foundational skills for impulse control
- Stay/wait to help your dog hold position and attention
- Reliable recall, an essential safety skill
- Place/settle to help your dog relax on their mat or bed
- Leash walking for pull-free, enjoyable walks together
- Polite greetings, no more jumping on guests!
- Better habits including gentle redirection of barking, chewing, and others
- Social skill improvement to treat anxiety, reactivity, and aggression
We’re highly experienced in dog obedience training from the basics to more advanced skills, including off-leash reliability and behavioral modification. Please call to discuss how we can help you and your pup achieve your goals!

Benefits of Professional Dog Training
Quality, professional dog training is beneficial for both the dog and their family. Here’s how our customized training programs promote the richest life together:
Household Harmony
When a dog is well trained, it leads to the most harmonious and rewarding dog/owner relationship. It also grants your dog the freedom to go more places and do more things so you can make as many fun memories together as possible.
Quality Enrichment
Dog training is one of the most enriching activities a dog can do. After all, dogs have been bred for thousands of years to “do a job” and please their people. The mental stimulation and canine joy of successful, meaningful training can’t be overstated.
Better Safety
Dogs who are trained are overall safer, healthier, and happier. They’re less likely to bolt into traffic, get lost, ignore your “come” command, or rush out the door. And a dog who doesn’t yank the leash or jump is safer for their people, too!
Confidence Building
A dog who has been effectively trained knows what’s expected of them, how to communicate their needs, and how to be the best companion they can be. This leads to an overall more confident, adaptable, and resilient dog.
Socialization
The world is filled with dogs! Walks around the block, pet boarding stays, and vet visits are just some of the ways dogs may encounter other pups. When your dog is well socialized, these outings become far easier, safer, and more comfortable for all.
