Basic Dog Obedience

A well-trained dog is a good dog.

​

Galveston, TX has many pet-friendly places and who wouldn’t want to bring their best animal buddy along to hang out on the beach or their local social scene?

People who don’t have well-behaved pets, that’s who.

How many times have you heard, “I wish I could bring my dog along, but (insert behavior here)…”, or watched a dog on a leash, pulling and yanking while the owner shouts “No dammit!!”? These people often fear taking their pets into social situations and usually don’t. Instead, they leave their pooch alone at home or out in the backyard for long stretches.

Going through dog training in Galveston, TX is fun, easy and affordable. Basic obedience training is one of the most important and valuable things you can do for both your dog and you.

It is the mark of a responsible pet owner and leads to a healthy, strong relationship with your pet. 

With so many dog-centric indoor and outdoor activities, and year-round agreeable weather, dog training in Galveston, TX is a must! Taking obedience training classes with your dog teaches you how to communicate, it builds trust, and creates a bond. This gives you more control in emergency situations, and reduces the chances of injury in dangerous situations.

Obedience training and puppy training begin with very basic commands:

• Sit

• Stay

• Come

• Down

• No (Leave it)

• Heel

​

Respect your pet’s limitations and conditions. Puppies have a short attention span,  lots of energy, and curiosity which can make puppy training frustrating.

Older dogs may have physical issues.

Rescues may need time to learn a new name, command or might have come from traumatic situations.

Start basic obedience training and puppy training with short sessions a couple of times a day, using your dog’s name with each command to help them get familiar with when you are speaking to them. Be patient and consistent, and use rewards such as treats, toys, and praise.

Have fun! Galveston, TX is a fantastic place to socialize your pet and make obedience training a fun experience for both of you. Everyone learns better when they’re having a good time. Positive reinforcement builds trust and communicates what is acceptable when puppy training or training an adult dog. After all, a dog is born only knowing how to be a dog. 

 Taking basic obedience training classes with your dog is money and time well invested which will give you long-term rewards over the years with your pet.
