We offer in-home basic obedience training for dogs of all
ages and breeds in Northern VA.
Are you too busy to attend scheduled group classes?
Let us come to your home and work around your time.
Our most popular BASIC OBEDIENCE program involves coming to your home once or twice a week, depending on your schedule and your dog's age. We normally train for 7 sessions and the cost is $475 for those in-home visits.
We have day as well as evening hours and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Due to the increasing price of fuel a $5 per visit charge will be added to your contract.
We also offer 2nd LEVEL INSTRUCTION for owners seeking more advanced training for their dogs. The challenges of distance and distraction are presented along with teaching your dog to recognize the written word.
New Class: FIELD TRIP 101
Do you have a wonderful "kitchen dog" meaning he will sit on command at home? Do you get that same response in a public place? Bring your dog to work with us at a shopping center and we will help you keep his focus and display some manners. It's a shame to always leave our pups at home so let's teach them to be respectful of others and property.
Training to assist your dogs to become therapy dogs is available too. Barkley is one of our most celebrated graduates.
Have your dogs prevented you from entertaining friends?
Invite us to your party and we will be responsible for controlling the pups. It's also a great training opportunity!

As a quick review from our Home Page:
You will hear about operant learning, the commands, and also about classical learning, how to deal with your dog's feeling of fear. Our methods are based in science and we will teach you many of the same techniques that are used to train marine and circus animals.
Besides the basic commands of sit, down, stay and come, we will help your dog learn to be an enjoyable member of the family. We can also help with mouthing, jumping, potty and crate training and many other issues you may be experiencing with your K9 friend.
Is your dog afraid of thunder or perhaps uncomfortable with strangers?
Does your dog bark at people wearing uniforms or is he afraid of trucks?
Let us help you understand classical learning and show you how to make positive associations for your dog.
It's great to begin training in the dog's own environment. Teach him to listen at home and then practice those behaviors in other places.
