In-Home Dog Training
In-home Training in Denver, Colorado
In-home dog training is always more effective than group training, especially when trying to eradicate a specific behavior.
For basic obedience, group training classes may do the trick. After all, every participant is trying to learn how to deliver the same set of commands to dogs that should all be at roughly the same instructional level.
Board-and-train programs have never made much sense to us, simply because this training method takes the owner out of the equation. Again, it may be somewhat effective for basic obedience, but the dog doesn’t have an opportunity to practice the new behavior in their everyday environment.
In-home training with Mile High Dog Training provides the opportunity for your dog to learn basic obedience, work on any specific behaviors, and it allows your dog to achieve these results in the comfort of their own home. This means your dog stays relaxed because they are in a familiar place. It also means that if your dog has behavioral problems caused by specific triggers, they will have the opportunity to train around those triggers.
For example, if your dog always barks at the mailman and you take away the mailman, will the training be effective? The short answer is sometimes. With in-home training, the answer is always.
Mile High Dog Training has successfully helped dogs that struggle with undesirable behaviors such as:
- Aggression – Whether the issue is aggression towards people or other animals, we can help! You may know the trigger already (food aggression and sibling aggression are common), or you may need help figuring that out. That’s why we’re here! We’ll get to the bottom of why your pup is acting out and come up with a plan to eradicate that reaction.
- Anxiety – Anxiety makes an appearance in many different ways. The most common form is separation anxiety. Leaving the house can be a nightmare when you know your pup is miserable and afraid at home. We can help your dog feel calm and confident in your absence.
- Excessive Behaviors – These include barking, chewing, digging, jumping, and more. Though some may call these bad habits, that explanation is too simple. Excessive behaviors can often be attributed to more significant issues, like fear and anxiety.
- Leash Reactivity – If taking your dog for a walk has become a challenge, we can help you teach your pup better leash manners. There won’t be any pulling, lunging, or growling on our watch.
- Failure to House Train – Eliminating in the house is one of the most challenging behavioral problems facing dog owners. We’ll show you how to get your pup to go potty where you want, when you want.
- Lack of Basic Obedience – Basic obedience training lays the foundation for all other training. Basic obedience teaches you how to communicate with your pup, and your pup learns to listen to you!
In-home dog training with Mile High Dog Training will improve your relationship with your dog and help you live in harmony.
