St. Petersburg Dog Trainers, Training Programs
St. Petersburg, Fl., is known for our beaches, parks and nature trials. We want to enjoy this beautiful geographical region with our companions by our side. There’s no reason you can’t enjoy an outdoor lunch at one of our many dog friendly resturants with your pooch at your side. Virtually all of the resturants will bring a bowl of water and treats for your dog. Vinoy Park is an excellent place to walk, jog, swim, or just lounge in the grass with your companion. That means we need our dogs to conduct themselves approproiately. We call it Social Etiquette.
Whether you live in South St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, or Tarpon Springs, there are plenty of public places to get real world training with your dog. Having your dog work through naturally occurring distractions in the environment that you live, work and play is the distinguishing factor between command training and obedience training. AlphA and Omega specializes in Obedience.
Once you have a solid foundation in obedience training, give your dog the enjoyment of being able to run free in one of the areas several off-leash dog parks. You will have the peace of mind knowing that your dog will follow your commands and come back when called.
Here’s our perspective: If your pooch only follows commands when at home with no distractions, your dog isn’t trained. We want you to be able to take your dog wherever you go, regardless of distractions. This is why we think its crucial that you know how to effectively communicate with your dog despite any environmental distractions. Obedience training is getting your dog to follow commands, on command.
The truth of the matter is, dog training is more about training you, the human, than it is about training the dog. The challenge is that humans allow ourselves to get distracted by the dog’s behavior, and in the moment, completely forget about our communication tools. Teaching you how to utilize proper communication techniques is the key to successful dog training. If you are willing to be coachable and teachable, we can get your dog trained.
