OBEDIENCE PROGRAM 

Obedience Training for Dogs of All Ages

Ages:  4 Months and up

Duration: 6-10 Weeks

Prerequisites: Crate Trained

Our Obedience training program is 6-10 weeks long, depending on the dog. This is the fastest we feel dogs can successfully learn on- and off-leash obedience. E-collars will be used to teach off-leash obedience, as distance erodes control of your dog.

​

Our clients and other members of their family are always invited to join us for training and are required to attend a minimum of 3 sessions during their dog's stay to learn how to properly handle their dog. 

​

Basic commands: “Heel” , “Sit” , “Here” , “Down” , "Place" and “OK”. All of these commands will have "Keep/Stay" implied. The command "OK" is the release from any of the other commands.

​

Areas of Focus

  • Basic Commands

  • On-leash obedience

  • Collar conditioning

  • Off-leash obedience

Client Testimonial

"We were somewhat at wit's end about how to train our 1 year old very-smart and high-energy Goldendoodle Sadie to obey. We were referred to Red Cedar Retrievers by a friend who experienced great results in the training of their Golden.
Sadie successfully completed an 8 week training course and the differences in her behavior are nothing short of remarkable. We visited weekly during the second half of the course and learned the techniques that we would need to carry forward to ensure the training held. The trainers are consistent and caring but firm and Sadie really enjoyed being with them.
We have since utilized Red Cedar Retrievers to kennel Sadie when taking longer vacations and continue to be extremely pleased with the results.
We highly recommend Red Cedar Retrievers for successful training."
