Types of Dog Training Programs

Obedience Training & Behavioral Problem Solving

Obedience Training takes the most basic and rudimentary dog training and creates a foundation of trust and respect between the dog and its owner through either private lessons or boarding. Obedience training is a must if you want you and your dog to enhance communication and understanding, also to break certain bad habits such as:

• Your dog doesn’t respond when called
• Drags you along on walks
• Has accidents on carpets and floors
• Barks excessively
• Chews on everything but his toys
• Jumps on your friends
• Bolts out an open door

Obedience training with the expert Houston dog trainers at Man’s Best Friend will fix these problems as well as fill the gap in understanding between a dog and its owner. It will also teach basic commands like: sit, stay, heel, and come.

Home and Family Protection

Home and Family Protection is a great option if you want your dog to develop its protective instinct and help you leave your worry behind when you’re in public with your dog, all the while maintaining the dog’s personality and social skills. Also, a dog trained to deter intruders is considered one of the best and most effective ways to deter crime in the home. And training can even begin with a puppy as young as 12 weeks old.

Attack on Command

Attack on Command is a good program for more confident dogs with owners who are confident in their ability. Through behavioral training, it’s a more offensive type of training where your dog can be taught to attack, hold, and release on command by its owner. This is the same program used by several K-9 units throughout the country. A consultation is required for this type of dog training.
