Basic Training
One-on-one coaching tailored to your dog’s unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you're working on manners, recall, or leash walking, training plans are designed to fit real life and support lasting results.
What Basic Training Covers
Basic training focuses on foundational skills and everyday manners, including but not limited to:
Sit, down, stay: Teaching reliable responses to common commands.
Loose-leash walking: Helping your dog walk politely without pulling.
Recall: Building a dependable “come” for safety and freedom.
Polite greetings and impulse control: Managing excitement and teaching calm behavior.
Settling: Encouraging calmness at home and in public.
Why Positive Reinforcement Builds Better Habits
Reward-based training helps dogs learn without stress or fear. Training uses rewards and praise to encourage good behavior, creating a stress-free, enjoyable learning experience for your dog. This gentle approach builds trust and strengthens your bond, helping your dog become a confident and eager learner.
Who Basic Training Is For & How It Works
Basic dog training is ideal for newly adopted dogs, adult dogs needing a refresher, or any dog ready to build better habits. These private sessions are tailored to your dog and your household—no group settings, no generic curriculum. We begin with a 30-minute consultation to design a personalized training plan that fits your goals. All sessions are one-on-one and held in your home, creating a calm, familiar space that supports clear communication and long-term success. Serving Jersey City, Hoboken, and surrounding New Jersey neighborhoods.
Build Lasting Habits
Consistent, positive training helps prevent common behavior challenges by setting clear expectations and teaching your dog how to succeed. By reinforcing good habits regularly, your dog learns to navigate everyday situations calmly and confidently. This leads to a happier, more well-adjusted dog and creates a smoother, more enjoyable daily life for your entire family.
