Find the Right Training Program for Your Dog

Private Dog Training Lessons

Private lessons provide one-on-one instruction and direct owner participation. Depending on the selected program, private instruction may take place at the training facility or through an eligible in-home option.

Advanced private lesson programs may have prerequisites, so Country Homes residents should confirm current availability, location requirements, and eligibility during the free phone consultation.

Board and Train Programs

Board and Train provides an immersive training format with structured instruction over a defined period. Current obedience-focused options include:

  • 2 Week Foundation Board and Train: Designed for dogs needing on- and off-leash obedience without behavior-modification needs. Published skills include sit, down, place, heel, loose-leash and off-leash walking, recall, greeting manners, door manners, meal manners, and training around distractions.
  • 4 Week Elite Board and Train: A customized obedience program for dogs without behavior-modification needs. It includes foundational skills, on- and off-leash obedience, owner education, homework, training supplies, and an Owner Turnover and Education Session.
  • 5 Week Complete Board and Train: An extended obedience program for dogs without behavior-modification concerns. It includes on- and off-leash obedience around distractions, structured repetition in real-world environments, owner education, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

Applicable Board and Train programs include an Owner Turnover and Education Session where owners learn the commands, handling techniques, and structure introduced during training. Continued practice at home helps reinforce those skills.

Group Obedience Lessons

Group lessons provide owner participation in a facility setting with other participating dogs and owners. The current FAQ describes basic and advanced group lesson options, with advanced programs requiring completion of an eligible obedience course or Board and Train program.

Confirm current schedules and prerequisites before enrolling.

Puppy Training and Foundations

Puppies can begin learning age-appropriate foundation skills before they are old enough for certain adult training methods.

The Spokane FAQ states that puppies younger than five months can begin foundation training using clicker-and-treat methods. The current Plans & Pricing page also lists an Online Puppy Training Course covering potty training, crate training, confidence building, marker-and-reward basic commands, and prevention of common puppy problems.

Because in-person puppy offerings and scheduling may vary, confirm current options during your free phone consultation.

Behavior Modification Training

The current Plans & Pricing page lists a 4 Week Behavior Modification Board and Train for dogs with minor behavior-modification needs involving concerns such as anxiety, fear, timidness, reactivity, or aggression around dogs or people.

The program includes foundational skills, a customized behavior-modification plan, owner education, homework, training supplies, and an Owner Turnover and Education Session.

A free phone consultation helps determine whether the current behavior program is appropriate for your dog. Owners dealing with severe aggression, bite history, or other serious concerns should discuss the dog’s history with the training team before selecting a program.

Therapy Dog Preparation

The current Plans & Pricing page lists a 4 Week Therapy Dog Prep Board and Train. The program builds foundational skills and prepares dogs for environments and distractions they may encounter during therapy work.

After successful completion, owners can register and test for certification with the recommended evaluator. Completing the training itself does not automatically provide therapy dog certification.

Dog Behavior Problems We Help Address

 

Leash Pulling and Difficult Walks

Loose-leash walking, Heel, recall, and distraction work can help Country Homes dogs build calmer, more manageable walks and improve responsiveness in everyday environments.

Barking, Lunging, and Reactivity

Behavior modification may address barking, lunging, and reactivity through foundational skills, owner education, and homework. Results vary, and complete elimination is not guaranteed.

Jumping and Poor Household Manners

Training may address jumping, greeting manners, door manners, and waiting politely for meals, helping owners build clearer expectations and more manageable daily routines.

Aggression and Reactivity

Behavior modification may address aggression or reactivity around dogs or people. Serious aggression or bite history should be discussed during the free phone consultation first.

Fear and Anxiety

Behavior modification may support fearful, anxious, or timid dogs through customized training, owner education, and homework based on the dog’s individual behavior and needs.

Recall and Off-Leash Reliability

The 2 Week Foundation Board & Train includes recall around distractions and full off-leash recall. Continued owner practice helps reinforce these skills after formal training.
