Final Form Dog Training

Come, down, sit, stay.

We all know these common commands which are foundational in the vocabularies of many dog owners. We focus on obedience, but trick training can be just as valuable!

Shake: gets your dog comfortable with being handled, assists with nail trims, and builds closeness.

Touch: you can recall your dog to a touch, or train them to press buttons, as well as building closeness.

Spin/twist: You can teach your dog right from left, and maneuver them into positions such as a heel. Right and left training by itself is a highly valuable skill for your dog especially if you want to run them with you on a bike, or even skateboard!

Place: While not usually considered a trick, you can Place your dog on many objects, eventually shrinking the area until they could balance on a ball. This is great for building body awareness and balance!

There are so many things that you can do with your dog that have more than one use. The sky is the limit to what you can achieve in the name of fun!

What is a trick that you would like to teach your dog? What is their most advanced trick?

Boundary training is so important. I tested Pepper by the door, saying words in the same tone as his release word, and he was not to be fooled!

Boundaries are healthy, and important for your dog's safety.
A dog that does not bolt through doors and gates, and waits by you when let off leash, is a safe dog.

We have openings for training packages where you can learn how to do this, and so much more! Book your FREE in-person consultation today! Just send a message through our page's messaging system.

Merlin ❤️

When my day is grey and drear,
I can feel you always near,
Your loyal soul beside me,
You never wander far,
Your smile lights up every room,
And leaves every heart warm,
You are my dog ~ ❤️ 🐾
