Enroll in our semi-private lessons
Training overview
Our semi-private lesson program is a group obedience training program that aims to make you an expert dog handler.
With the help of a dedicated trainer, you and your dog learn basic commands while getting rid of unwanted behaviors like jumping, leash-pulling, and running through open doors. During this six-week program, you’ll meet weekly with your trainer and work directly with your dog in between lessons to help them build muscle memory via homework assignments and reinforce new skills directly in your home environment.
Recommended for
We recommend this program for any dog who has not had prior obedience training. The semi-private lesson program is also ideal for any dog owner who is looking to build a better bond with their dog, and form better insights into their dog’s motivations and thought processes. Finally, this program is ideal for the dog owner who has the time and energy to commit to participating in the daily homework assignments required to progress your dog through the curriculum.

How it Works
The Canine Academy Positive E Collar training method is broken down into 3 phases:
Phase 1: Grab Your Leash and Collar
Your dedicated trainer will teach you and your dog the basics of basic obedience through a series of six lessons. This will include an introduction to our remote e-collars, followed by an intensive weekly focus on a set of commands. Between each lesson, you'll have homework assignments to complete which solidify the dog's understanding of each command and builds a deep bond between owner and pet!
Phase 2: Seek Out Challenge
Your final lesson focuses on how to put the commands all together to guide your dog through any situation or distraction. Your goal after the lessons conclude is to build confidence through repetition and exposure to new challenges. You will have the opportunity to participate in two follow up phone calls with your trainer as you work to perfect you dog's obedience through daily repetition and usage.
Phase 3: Practice Makes Perfect
90 days after training, our goal for you and your pup is that all commands are completed successfully 80-90% of the time and that you graduate from daily use of the e collar, using it only during high adrenaline or high-risk situations, such as off-leash walking.
