Types of Dog Training Programs

Obedience Training & Behavioral Problem Solving

Make all members of your household a cooperative unit by having your dog understand what you want and expect from him/her. This type of training teaches basic obedience commands: sit, stay, down, heel, and come. An expert Atlanta dog trainer, through private lessons or through boarding, will train your dog to understand and obey those in your household, creating a deeper and more trusting bond between you and your dog.

Home and Family Protection

A protection dog is one of the easiest and best ways to deter crime in your home. One of the more advanced type of training, Home and Family Protection uses a dog’s sense of preservation and care for its owner to create a safer and more secure home. Combining obedience with learned responses to certain situations, your dog will learn to protect the members of your home all the while maintaining its social skills and personality.

Attack on Command

This is the program that has trained several K-9 units in various cities. Attack on Command is the more advanced level of Home and Family Protection Training. Less defensive than the former, this will teach your dog to bite, hold, and release on command.

After going through a consultation meeting with the owner and the dog, Man’s Best Friend will help you decide if Attack on Command training is a good option for you and your pet. The biggest requirement is both you and your dog having confidence in his/her ability to obey and follow through with the commands.
