Few things match the excitement of bringing home a new puppy. But without proper training, your cute furry friend can grow into a growling, unruly adult dog. Untrained dogs are annoying at best and dangerous at worst.
When you start training early, you’ll be able to bond with your puppy and stop behavioral problems before they start. At All Dogs Unleashed, we offer proven, evidence-based puppy training in Orlando.
Why Do You Need Puppy Training in Orlando?
Having a well-trained dog is always nice. But in Orlando, obedience is also essential to your dog’s safety. Countless people visit the city each year to experience Disney, Universal Orlando, the Kennedy Space Center, Legoland, and more. More visitors cause more distractions, and more distractions can tempt your dog to misbehave.
For example, suppose that your dog somehow wiggles out of their collar and takes off down a city street. If they run into the road, they may be hit by a distracted tourist’s car. And if they run into another dog, they may bite the other dog or get bitten. But if your dog is trained to obey commands off-leash, you can call them back before anything bad happens.
A poorly-trained dog can also cause you significant problems if you live in a rented house or apartment. Your dog might chew or bite something they aren’t supposed to, damaging your dwelling and causing you to lose your security deposit or even be evicted.
You may run into issues even if you own your Orlando home, though. For instance, repairing damaged walls and furniture can be expensive and inconvenient.
Fortunately, All Dogs Unleashed offers humane and effective training for puppies and adult dogs alike. We have multiple training programs to suit both your dog’s needs and your needs as an owner.
What Can Your Puppy Learn?
Our trainers can work with every breed and behavioral issue. Fortunately, most puppies don’t have severe behavior problems — they simply haven’t had time to develop them yet.
Our puppy training program helps your new friend learn manners and obedience while teaching them to avoid problematic behaviors.
Here are some of the things we’ll cover during puppy training:
- Potty training
- Walking on a leash without pulling
- How to sit and stay
- How to come when called
- Boundaries (with people and other animals)
- How to pay attention to you when off leash
We also humanely and effectively address common bad behaviors like these:
- Nipping at people and other dogs
- Barking or whining excessively
- Digging holes
- Jumping up on family members or guests
- Scratching at walls, doors, and furniture
- Chewing shoes and other items
Our trainers understand that puppies need time to learn. During puppy training in Orlando, your furry friend will be treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of love!
Puppy Training at Our Facility or in Your Home
If you’re in need of puppy training in Orlando, you can choose whether you want your dog to board with us during training or learn with you in your home. Both programs are equally effective; you just need to choose the one that best fits your schedule.
Board and Train
When training, puppies need a lot of practice and reinforcement. During our two-week board and train program, your puppy will benefit from a highly structured environment. Our trainers work with common issues like potty training and puppy mouthing and nipping. They also can address any specific behavior problems your puppy has.
In this environment, your puppy will learn to ignore distractions and focus on your commands. They also will be able to socialize with other dogs and learn how to behave around other animals. We have a trainer on-site 24/7, so your puppy will be safe with us.
While our trainers are the ones working with your pet throughout our puppy training in Orlando, we’ll take the time to show you our methods and commands before you take your pup home. Continued training is critical to your puppy’s development. We’ll teach you how to continue working with your pet at home.
In-Home Training
If you have some flexibility in your schedule, you might prefer our in-home training program. This training lets you work with your puppy from the start, so it’s a great way to build trust and strengthen your bond.
Our in-home training program also spans two weeks and includes two trainer visits. Your trainer will be able to get you started with our training methods during the first visit. Then for two weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to practice with your puppy. Feel free to ask us any questions during this period.
When your trainer returns for the second visit, you’ll be able to show them your puppy’s progress. They can then address any issues that still remain.
Whether you choose our board and train program or our in-home training program, you can trust our methods and the work of our trainers. We even offer unlimited follow-up sessions throughout your dog’s life.
How Our Puppy Training in Orlando Works
We believe that the key to successful training is clear communication between dog and owner. Some training methods center around using the word “no” to control your pet’s behavior. At All Dogs Unleashed, however, we believe in strengthening the bond between you and your pet.
If you just teach your dog to obey the word “no,” they will only obey your commands when you’re around. But with our specialized methods, dogs learn to train themselves. We work with your dog’s psychology, not against it; your pet will learn to obey you even when you aren’t present.
When you work with us, you’ll learn more about our proven training methods. Our trainers can get your puppy started, and they’ll teach you what you need to know to continue training at home.
Unleash Your Puppy’s True Potential
When you give your puppy a great start in life, the possibilities are endless. If you want your pup to enter obedience competitions, learn how to protect you, or simply be a great pet, it all starts with the right training.
