The Importance of Obedience Training
Jump to it
The potential benefits of a well-trained companion are so great that becoming a responsible pet owner deserves whatever time it takes to do it right. Choosing to obedience train is the single most important aspect in ensuring a mutually rewarding relationship for years to come.
Jump Start Dog Training uses positive reinforcement and motivational training methods, a fair approach to proper obedience training.
Starting off on the Right Paw
Training your dog can start in puppyhood as early as 8-10 weeks of age. A dog is constantly learning, so it's vital that he learn the right things. Obedience training makes every dog a better canine citizen, and there is no time like the present to begin your dog's education.
Jump Start
Jump Start Dog Training ensures that each owner is taught how to effectively handle their dog using positive reinforcement and motivational techniques. Sessions are conducted using praise, not punishment, making each lesson fun and enjoyable for both dog and owner alike.
We also encourage participation by everyone sharing the same household, an important consideration since many children may not yet know the appropriate way of dealing with a new pet.
