Training Programs:
At K-9 Behavior Services we have put together training programs to match any lifestyle and to meet any goals you might have, whether that be for your pet or your working dog. Below is a list of training programs for you to consider. Please call us to discuss which program would work best for your particular situation. The following dog training programs are offered in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County areas. We are also now offering these programs in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stockton, Modesto, and the San Jose area.
Obedience Commands:
The standard basic dog training obedience commands to be taught will be as follows, all commands will be worked under heavy distractions, success of all programs is based on the client's ability and willingness to follow the program...
~ Sit
~ Down
~ Come Here (Recall)
~ Boundaries (No bolting in or out of doors and gates)
~ Heel (Walking nicely on a leash)
~ Place (Go to bed, lay down, and stay, until released)
~ No (Discipline for all undesired behaviors, such as jumping on people, barking excessively, digging, chewing, etc.)
~ Potty training
~ Any additional commands can be discussed and incorporated, depending on the client's expectation.
Private Training:
Trainer goes to your home and trains with you and your family.
~ 8- 1 Hour training sessions. Training sessions are one week apart.
~ Additional training sessions are often added at the client’s request.
* You must participate in all training sessions and work your dog daily.
Board & Train/ Doggie Boot Camp:
This is a very popular training program and can render great results when approached and executed properly. We require the follow up sessions after your dog is home so that we can make sure the training is successful.
~ We come to your home and meet with you and your family to discuss your dog's behaviors and what your expectations are for the training program.
~ Your dog comes to our training facility for three weeks of training, and an additional week for scheduling the drop off.
~ We drop your dog with a two hour training session. Then, we will come back once a week for an hour for four weeks and train with you and your family to make sure you are on track with your dog and getting the most out of the training.
~ Because many of our client’s have high profile and demanding lifestyles, this is a very popular training program. We understand the need to have the ‘difficult’ part of the training taken care of for our clients.
* You must participate in all follow up sessions and work your dog according to instructions.
Protection Dog Training:
This program is for people who want their dogs trained for personal protection. This is a specialty type training that requires a level of aptitude from your dog. Not all dogs can qualify for this type of training. We will only work with dogs that are social, stable, and outgoing. We will not work with dogs that are showing unwarranted aggression. This program can be done with Private Training sessions, Board & Train, or a combination of both.
~Please call us so that we can discuss what will be best for you and your dog.
~The cost will be based on your dog's aptitude for the work.
~The breeds that are best suited for this kind of work are the Belgian Malinois, the German Shepherd Dog, and the Dutch Shepherd. See our 'Choosing a Breed' page for more information.
~It is best to start your dog very young to build his character, teach grip development and technique.
* You must participate in all follow up sessions and work your dog according to instructions.
Crash Course:
Trainer goes to your home and trains with you and your family. Because of a limited amount of sessions, we will focus on a few commands that are most important to you and your family.
~ 4- 1 Hour training sessions. Training sessions are one to two weeks apart.
~ Additional training sessions are often added at the client’s request.
* You must participate in all training sessions and work your dog daily.
Advanced Training:
We have many clients that enjoy training with us and wish to continue with training. We assess their goals and help them to reach those goals. We typically offer four training sessions at a time and work towards achieving higher levels of training than basic obedience. We have clients that are involved in competitive sports, and some clients simply want to get a C.G.C. (Canine Good Citizen) title on their dog. Whatever the goal at hand, we are confident that our experience and professionalism will get you where you want to go.
training programs
There are different training programs for different people with different lifestyles. The truth is, all the programs work. The key is the relationship the owner establishes with their dog. What we mean is, you are going to have to put time in with your dog and the time you put in has to be the way we teach you. There is a saying that I believe to be very true... Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. As experienced professionals, we can read a dog very quickly and see what the owner is, or is not, doing with them. We know what the dog is capable of and we know when the owner is not following the program. As I stated before, there are no real "Dog Whisperers" there are simply a few simple tools you need in order to begin to communicate with your dog.
