Training Fundamentals: On-Leash
Training Fundamentals On-Leash Influence (Level 1)
Welcome to our On-Leash Basic Obedience Training program. We specialize in transforming your canine friend into a well-behaved and obedient companion. This program will focus on the three core elements of our training approach: “Commands,” “Techniques,” and “Consistency.” We believe that a trained dog is a happy dog, and we’re here to help you achieve that.
1. Commands – The Language of Obedience
The first step in our program is mastering the language of obedience through a series of essential commands. These commands form the basis of our training and include:
- Sit: Establish control and manners by teaching your dog to sit on command.
- Stay: Ensure your dog’s safety and maintain order by mastering the “stay” command.
- Heel: Enjoy relaxed and stress-free walks with your dog walking calmly at your side.
- Come: Develop a strong recall so that your dog returns to you promptly, even when off-leash.
- Leave it: Prevent your dog from picking up dangerous or undesirable items during walks.
- Down: Establish control and encourage calmness with the “down” command.

Consistency is key in using these commands. We’ll guide you through the process of effectively teaching and applying them, enabling clear communication between you and your dog.
2. Techniques – Building Trust and Skills
Our training program employs a range of techniques to ensure your dog’s success, including:
- Positive Reinforcement: We utilize positive reinforcement techniques to reward your dog’s good behavior with praise, and affection.
- Loose Leash Training: Keeping the leash loose during training sessions allows for better control and immediate correction when needed.
- Timely and Effective Feedback: Providing feedback immediately after a command reinforces your dog’s understanding of the desired behavior.
- Gradual Progression: Our program begins with straightforward commands, gradually progressing to more complex tasks as your dog’s skills and confidence grow.
- Our experienced trainers will guide you in the effective use of these techniques, ensuring a positive and enjoyable learning experience for both you and your dog.
3. Consistency – The Key to Success
Consistency is the cornerstone of our training program:
- Clear Expectations: A consistent routine and clear expectations help your dog understand what’s required of them.
- Reinforcement: Repeating commands and reinforcing good behaviors consistently fosters obedience.
- Preventing Confusion: Inconsistency can confuse your dog, hindering their learning process. We emphasize the importance of clear and consistent communication.
- Patience and Persistence: We stress the significance of patience and persistence as you work towards achieving your training goals.
- Our On-Leash Basic Obedience Training program is designed to transform your dog into a well-behaved and obedient companion, making your daily interactions and outdoor adventures a pleasure for both of you. Join us on this rewarding journey, and together, we’ll unlock your dog’s full potential.
