Why train your dog with Beyond Basics?
Dogs continue to learn their whole lives…games shape the way they learn and how they view the world. Fun and easy games help your dog grow into a confident, well-mannered, happy dog.
-
Our games are based on the science of how dogs learn. They go beyond teaching behaviors and help your dog learn concepts like calmness, optimism, confidence, having value in being near you and being able to disengage from things in the environment. These concepts help change or prevent common behavior problems. A dog wth these skills becomes much easier to live with and makes good choices.
-
Learn how to deal with common struggles including jumping, counter-surfing, and pulling on the leash.
-
Build a strong, positive relationship with your dog that sets you both up for a lifetime of success.
-
Help your dog build behaviors like polite leash walking, wait, come, sit, down, and drop it. We include these behaviors in classes along with the concepts.
-
We limit class sizes to 5 dogs to ensure individual attention for all. A minimum of 2 students is required for each class.
