Services Overview
Dog Training Programs for Cincinnati the Surrounding Area
Practice obedience where your dog’s daily routines happen. A trainer comes to your home to work with you on skills like walking on a loose leash, coming when called, and settling when guests arrive. Basic, intermediate, and advanced options are available in select areas.
If your dog barks, lunges, or growls around other dogs, start with a consultation to discuss what triggers those reactions and when they happen. Based on your dog’s needs, the trainer can help you choose between eight weeks of private lessons and a two-week Board & Train option for aggression and reactivity.
Your dog stays with a professional trainer for one or two weeks to practice obedience and everyday manners. Depending on the option you choose, training can cover recall, leash walking, and responding to cues around distractions. At pickup, you’ll work one-on-one with the trainer to learn how to reinforce those skills at home.
Build routines for potty breaks and crate time while introducing early cues like come, sit, and place. You’ll also get guidance on helping your puppy adjust to new people and surroundings. Choose private lessons at the training facility, in-home lessons where available, or an online course.
Learn how to use cues like sit, down, and place during everyday routines, from getting ready for a walk to greeting visitors. The four-lesson Basic package covers foundational skills such as recall and loose-leash walking. Six-lesson Intermediate and eight-lesson Advanced options build on those foundations.

Basic Obedience is four private one-hour lessons. Your dog learns come, sit, extended sit, down, extended down, place, extended place, drop it, loose-leash walking, and off. The e-collar and training leash are included. Intermediate adds two advanced lessons, and Advanced is eight lessons, with the final two at public places such as parks, bike trails, and shopping centers within 15 minutes of the facility.
How does the 2-week Board & Train work?
Your dog stays with a professional trainer for two weeks. It covers come, sit, place, heel, down, down from a distance, and handling multiple distractions, plus greeting, door, and meal manners. Afterward you get a 2 to 3 hour one-on-one owner session. Dogs must be at least 5 months old and potty and crate trained.

Do you train aggressive or reactive dogs?
Yes. We offer an 8-week Aggressive/Reactive Dog Package and a 2-week Aggressive Dog Board & Train. The standard Board & Train is not for aggression or reactivity. It is impossible to guarantee complete fixes of major behavioral issues such as dog or people aggression.
What is an e-collar, and is it used in every program?
An e-collar is a training tool used in many obedience programs, taught alongside clear commands and positive reinforcement. Our trainers teach owners to use it as a communication tool. Several programs include an e-collar and training leash. Basic Marker Mastery is a reward-based alternative that uses no e-collar or prong collar.

E-collar training generally starts at 5 months old. For puppies under 5 months, a Puppy Consultation covers introductory obedience, housebreaking, crate training, socialization, and pack structure. Puppy courses are four private lessons at our facility or in your home, and an online course is also available.
