Dog Obedience Training
Obedience training for dogs is a step that every canine caretaker will consider at one point or another, whether it be to prevent destructive patterns or develop a solid foundation of healthy habits.
Dog obedience training is the ideal way to prep the perfect pooch for the wider world around them, helping your beloved pal become happier and healthier. However, figuring out the correct type of training for your pet can be challenging, so here is the perfect guide to help owners find effective dog obedience training.
Understanding Your Dog's Behaviors
Many dog behavioral issues are often misunderstood or mishandled by pet owners. Whether you are new to dog ownership, considering adopting a dog, or wish to help your precious pup with a challenging issue, dog obedience is essential to developing a working relationship with your hound.
Thoroughly understanding the most common dog behavioral dilemmas is the first step in solving and preventing further disruptive behavior when beginning dog obedience training.
Barking
Most dogs vocalize in one way or another. For example, they may bark, howl, or whine, and excessive barking is considered a behavioral problem that can be very disruptive in the home.
Chewing
While chewing is a natural activity that dogs use to burn off extra energy, it can cause significant destruction when it becomes excessive. It is especially so if your dog decides to chew items like your household furniture or other essential items.
Biting
Dogs may bite for several reasons, sometimes in a defensive nature or out of fear, but it can become frustrating when your dog regularly turns to bite others every time it is distraught.
Aggression
Dog aggression is exhibited by growling, snarling, showing teeth, and lunging. It is essential to know that any dog has the potential to show aggression, regardless of breed or history.
However, an aggressive dog can be incredibly challenging to deal with without proper dog obedience training, making it a key area to tackle for any owner.
Poor leash behavior
Leash training is a massive part of educating your pet, and poorly trained dogs will lunge or tug on leashes, turning the luxury of a walk into a battle of tug of war that is unpleasant for both parties.
Proper dog obedience training means you can make every walk a literal stroll through the park.
Chasing
A dog's desire to chase moving things is a display of its ancient predatory instinct. However, this can lead to a devastating outcome without proper training, especially if your dog chooses to chase other animals, people, or cars.
Taking steps to prevent your dog from chasing is one of the best ways to avoid an unwanted disaster, and with proper dog obedience training, you can be sure every trip out is safe and joyful.
Are you ready to transform your dog and your life?

Jennie SantanaNovember 16, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give 100 stars I would! We did the board and train and it is an absolutely amazing program. We were at a dead end with Blue because he had horrible fear based dog reactivity. But we are so glad and so proud to say that our Blue has his confidence back and we are super impressed with all information and tools provided to us. We feel well educated and confident to continue Blue's training. Our trainer Erika has done a beautiful job with Blue & was so patient and thorough while answering all of our questions. Highly recommend you guys to everyone! Pamella GrilloNovember 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an overall amazing experience with the hybrid private training program at K9 Mania with my 1 year old Labradoodle Tucker. Our trainer Gabby was truly amazing throughout the entire program, constantly adjusting course material to best suit my dog, his needs, and how he learns best. Over the 5 weeks, Tucker became more confident, neutral and far less reactive than going into the program. Prior to this program going on walks was a tough task, with constant pulling and barking at other dogs. It’s safe to say that has been essentially entirely worked out at this point and he is able to walk calmly in a heel and walk past other dogs without reactivity. It’s truly an amazing transformation. I recommend this program to anyone who is highly motivated to put in the daily work with your dog, because you definitely get out of it what you put in, but Gabby was there for us every step of the way! I look forward to taking the tools we learned over the last 5 weeks and continuing to build on it all. Thank you K9 Mania & thank you Gabby! Courtney LipsonNovember 12, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank K9 Dog Mania and our trainer Natalie enough for the transformation they made in our dog, Goose! She went from anxious and unpredictable to confident, well-behaved, and so much happier. Natalie was incredible—always responsive and supportive, even after Goose came home, and she’s continued to be there whenever we have questions about her training. At first, we were nervous about sending Goose to a board-and-train program, but Natalie and her team put us at ease right away. We could tell Goose loved Natalie and all the techs who cared for her, which made the whole experience so much better. It was clear she was in good hands and truly thriving during her stay. Sending your dog to board & train is a big decision, but it has completely changed our relationship with Goose for the better. If you're considering it, I highly recommend K9 Dog Mania for anyone wanting an immediate, positive impact on their dog's behavior and confidence. Thank you, Natalie, and everyone at K9 Dog Mania! Bridgette MastaglioNovember 11, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K9 Mania is amazing!!! We brought our boy Bodie for their 3 week training and he is SO well-behaved now!!! Everywhere we go we get compliments. His trainer James Shannon was an absolute gem- so kind, caring and clearly a dog whisperer!!! He sent regular communications including pictures and videos of Bodie's progress keeping us well-informed on how he was doing. I highly recommend K9- and James if you can get him. :) Also- they go all out with seasonal and holiday decorations, so cute!!! Kathleen OHaraNovember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was truly delighted to have James as our trainer for my twin Bernedoodles for the duration of their stay at K9 Mania. He was incredibly patient with my anxious girl doodle, Maggie and my headstrong doodle, Shamrock. James commitment to delivering outstanding service exceeded my expectations. His expertise in dog behavior was essential to the success of Maggie & Shamrock’s training. Working with James was a pleasure and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Andreas HoffbauerNovember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalie transformed our dog! Our puppy went from refusing to walking and hyper reactive to being able to calmly navigate crowded and loud spaces. We have been able to fly with him, take him to work, and long walks where he is always by our side and under control. Natalie far exceeded our expectations and what we could have hoped for our relationship with our puppy. If you want an incredibly trained dog, request Natalie! tammy chenNovember 9, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalie has far exceeded my expectations! She has transformed my dogs to the best behaved dogs that I get complimented everywhere I go on how well behaved my dogs are! I would give Natalie 100 stars if I could!!! I’ve been able to take my puppies on an airplane, to a conference, restaurants and they stay right by my side! Natalie thank you sooooo much!

We sent our corgipoo Nero for the 4 week boarding and training, the entire staff was amazing from beginning to end! Jayden, her trainer was the cherry on top he was simply fantastic with Nero and was always patient to send us photos and is extremely knowledgeable. Everyone in the facility showed that they love all of the dogs under their care and showed Nero all of the love she could want in our absence. They were able to address all of the concerns we had with our little girl. I will honestly recommend K9mania to everyone i know for how good we were treated and how amazing and well behaved our precious girl came out due to Jayden and the staffs diligence and experience!Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
