Say Goodbye to Leash Pulling and Hello to Adventure with Our 8-Week Obedience Program
Week 2-where we make your pup the ultimate sidekick! Say goodbye to jostling and jumping around on walks and hello to a dog who walks obediently by your side. We'll teach your pup to sit as soon as you stop and introduce the "free dog" release command, giving them a special treat to run and explore on their terms. Join our program now and let's turn your pup into the well-mannered companion you've always wanted!
Sick of being dragged around like a chew toy on your daily walks? Our obedience program has got you covered! Week 1 is all about making YOU the coolest thing out there with a fun game that teaches your pup to stick by your side. We start with a long line to give your pup some freedom while teaching them to be aware of your whereabouts. By week 6, your pup will be strutting their stuff off-leash with ease, but still keeping an eye on you like a hawk. Ready to ditch the leash-pulling and walk like a boss?
Week 3 of our obedience program brings the power of "stay" to your waggy woof! No more chasing, jumping or other bad behaviors - just a well-behaved pup who knows how to relax on command. And with the added bonus of "down", your dog will be the chillest pup on the block! Join our program and let's get started!
Week 4 of our obedience program is all about the "come" command - the ultimate safety skill for your waggy woof! Imagine your pup running towards you with excitement, ready to obey your every command.
We'll teach your dog to come to you on cue and stay obediently by your side. And once your pup has mastered this important skill, you'll have peace of mind knowing that they'll always come back to you, no matter what.
Week 6 the grand finale of our obedience program! It's time to break free from the leash and experience the ultimate freedom with your woof. But don't worry, we won't just toss you into the deep end - we have a well-planned strategy in place to ensure a smooth and safe transition to off-leash walks. And the best part? This isn't just about teaching your pup new tricks - it's about strengthening the bond between you and your pup.
By the end of the program, you'll be amazed at the level of obedience and trust your dog has gained. So let's get started and unleash the full potential within you and your dog!
And after week 6, we'll spend two more weeks polishing up those skills and weaning off long lines - because we're committed to helping you build the off-leash freedom you've always dreamed of.
Our Week 5 is where we take the come command to a whole new level - real-life recall!
Picture this - your pup's running full speed towards a skunk, and you call out "Fido, come!" Within seconds, your furry friend has made a 180-degree turn and is sprinting back to your side. Phew! Crisis averted, skunk disaster avoided, and your pup is safe and sound. That's the power of real-life recall.
But it's not just about avoiding skunks - real-life recall is a game-changer for all pup parents. It means more freedom, more adventures, and more trust. And let's face it, who doesn't want that?
We'll teach you the skills and techniques to make real-life recall a reality. With consistency and practice, you'll be able to trust that your pup will always come running back to you, no matter what distractions they encounter.

No Shortcuts to Success: Everyone Starts Over to Build a Strong Foundation for Off-Leash Bliss!
At Scotch Pines, we believe that in order to build a solid foundation for your dog's obedience, it's important to start from scratch. We don't assume that your dog already knows what "sit" or "stay" means - instead, we take the time to teach them these basic obedience commands, step-by-step. We don't repeat commands or assume that your dog understands what we're asking for, because we know that building this foundation is key to unlocking your dog's potential.
By taking this approach, we're able to work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments in our group setting. We focus on teaching your dog what each command word means, and how to respond to it appropriately, so that when we say "come" or "stay," your dog knows exactly what we want them to do. This leads to more successful training sessions, and ultimately, a happier, more well-behaved dog who can be trusted off-leash.

From repetition to perfection: Enter the Placement Phase and see the magic happen!
Our training method may seem unconventional, but it's incredibly effective. We don't rely solely on verbal cues, but also use physical cues, or what we like to call "bum placement." This means that when we say "sit," we gently guide our dog's backside down to the ground. It may sound amusing, but it helps our dogs understand not just the word, but the action that accompanies it. This approach eliminates confusion and sets clear expectations for both you and your pup.
To ensure that our dogs truly understand each command, we repeat the placement process 100 times for each new command, only saying it once. This helps our dogs progress to the next phase and sets them up for success in becoming well-behaved, obedient companions. Our unique method has helped countless dogs, and by utilizing physical placement, we can create a more harmonious relationship between dog and human.

Balanced Training: Fair Corrections for Off-Leash Freedom
We believe in creating a fair and consistent environment for both dog and pet parents. We understand that building a strong relationship with your pup is essential to ensure that they listen to your commands and behave well on and off the leash.
We also believe in using corrections when needed to reinforce our dogs' obedience. After we do the work in the placement phase, when a command is not obeyed, we apply a specific correction that is fair and proportional to the situation. This approach helps our dogs understand that they must listen to our commands, but it is also important that they know that we are rewarding good behavior.
Our ultimate goal is to build a strong and trusting relationship with our dogs based on mutual respect and clear communication. We know that consistency and fairness are key to achieving this goal, and our training method reflects this approach. By following our training approach, pet parents can enjoy the off-leash freedom and well-behaved behavior that they desire for their waggy woofs.
