Welcome to RUDY'S FRIENDS DOG TRAINING, Inc.
Learn many of the same "positive motivational" techniques that are used to train marine and circus animals. Our approach is very kind and gentle and it's based in science. It's all about behavior and consequence, repetition and consistency.
Have fun with your dogs as you teach them to walk nicely on a leash or learn to obey the basic commands of sit, down, stay and come. We can help your pups learn to control mouthing and jumping as well as tips for potty and crate training.
Do you chase your dog when he grabs your shoe? Let us show you a better approach for handling this situation. "Off and take it" is a wonderful skill to help with your dog's manners.
Understand the importance of socializing your dogs and learn how to prevent some undesirable behaviors. Are your dogs afraid of storms or perhaps of someone carrying an umbrella? Classical learning is all too often put on the backburner but it can be the root of some severe issues.
We also offer some more advanced training for those owners and dogs who have mastered the basics. Does your dog obey commands when you are not right next to him? Teach your dog to respond when you are across the room or on the other side of the yard. Let us help you work with distractions and other challenges such as taking your dog to a shopping center.

The focus command is a wonderful technique to teach your dogs.

Dogs can learn to be calm!
