Private One on One Training
In "One on One" Basic Obedience, a trainer will work with you One
on One and teach you how to train your dog. At the end of this phase your dog
will know Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place, both on leash
and off leash. Your dog will follow all these commands during distractions and
without food bribes and lots of activity around you. When in heel (walk next
to me) your dog will happily pay attention to which directions you choose to
walk and stay with you. During Basic Obedience you will never hit or yell at
your dog. All attention getting techniques are done at vey low levels and copious
amounts of praise and love will be used to reinforce wanted behavior. We've
found that most people need to practice about 25 min a day, every day to get
the offleash result with this program. This is a "Lifetime" training
program and all clients are welcome to our weekly group classes FREE for the
lifetime of their dog. A dog must be at least 4 months old to start this phase
of training.
We get calls all the time from people who said their dog had "failed" obedience
school. The problem usually is not the dog but what the other school failed
to successfully teach the owner. This is a shame and a waste of money. Best
Friend's Dog Training® understands that telling someone to "do this" is
not good enough. You need to understand why you are doing something. We know
it takes some people longer then others to understand what is being taught.
That's why we offer One Price for the Life of the Dog. We give free evaluations
so you and ask us all the questions you want and there are no suprises. Due to High gas prices and an economic crunch for some some families, we are now giving two options for the One on One training package.
House Manners: This program is an entry level
program that justcovers basic manners for your pup in your home. Jumping on guests,
waiting at the door, counter surfing and a basic place comand are covered. Clients
can upgrade to the full In Home Training at a later date.
This Program is only available in the Albany, Saratoga, Glens Falls, Lake George areas.
In Home Training (full): This is where the trainer
comes to the client’s home and teaches in the dog’s natural environment.
It is often more convenient for the owner to have the trainer come to their home.
For dogs that display undesirable behaviors in the home (counter surfing, running
out the door, trying to eat the neighbor’s cat) this program is the way
to go. Weekly group classes are included with this package.
Board and Train
A 2 week boarding program that is followed up with private lessons in your
home. Over the years, this program has exploded in popularity and is our most
referred program from existing clients to their friends and family.Most people
who choose Board and Train either have little time to train their dog, are going
away on vacation, are pregnant, or their dog is physically stronger then they
are, and they need their dog trained. Although the owners still need to maintain
training, this program requires less effort than the "At Home" program.
Here is how it works.
Your dog will come and stay with us for two weeks. At the end of this phase
your dog will know Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place, both
on leash and off leash. The dog will be trained 2-3 times every day, in the
home, outside, near shopping centers, around other dogs, squirrels, people,
cars etc. We introduce the dog to as many different circumstances as possible.
Between training sessions, your dog will have playtime, snacks, and walks. When
the dog returns home, a trainer will give you the first follow up lesson in
your home. Best Friend's Dog Training insists on the follow up training sessions
to make the training long lasting and effective so the owners understand what
to do.
This is a "Lifetime" training program and all clients are welcome
to our weekly group classes FREE for the lifetime of their dog. A dog must be
at least 4 months old to start this phase of training, and have vaccines including
Bordatella
Leash Only Training
Both the In Home and Board and Train programs are available with "Leash
Only" traditional training. Although leash based training is effective,
it takes far more work to get a similar, but less reliable result.
Some people only want this training, and because of the increased training time
needed from our trainers, the cost is exactly the same as the offleash programs.
Since most people need to see the difference, we suggest calling for a free
evaluation in your home so a trainer can show you the difference and answer
your questions in the comfort of your home.
All basic obedience and advanced obedience training classes include a "Lifetime" membership to the Best Friend's Dog Training Community. The "Lifetime" membership is for the life of your dog and provides unlimited follow-up group classes.
Puppy Class
A one time class in your home where we teach you what to expect in the next few months.
Puppies have different needs and expectations then older dogs.
The impressions we make on a pup will affect the pup for life.
We spend the time with you teaching what to do and what not to do.
We cover topics such as housebreaking, crate training, socialization, teaching basic commands, and how to effectively communicate with the pup. Cost $45
