Obedience Re-Set Program
6 weekly sessions
The Obedience Re-Set Program is designed for dogs who already know some basic skills but need clearer boundaries, better listening, improved manners, and more consistency in everyday life.
This program is ideal for adolescent dogs, older dogs needing a fresh start, or dogs who have developed a few bad habits at home or on walks. Across 6 weekly sessions, we rebuild the foundations, improve communication between dog and owner, and create practical skills that can be used in real-life situations.
Program Structure
Session 1: Assessment, Goals and Training Reset
We begin by assessing your dog’s current skills, routine, behaviour, and training history. The aim of this session is to understand where your dog is at and what needs to be tightened up first.
Session 2: Engagement, Focus and Better Listening
Before we can improve obedience, we need your dog to understand that listening to you is worthwhile. This session helps your dog become more tuned in to you, rather than only responding when they feel like it.
Session 3: Sit, Stay and Impulse Control
In this session, we strengthen basic obedience and begin adding more control and patience. The goal is to help your dog understand that calm behaviour and self-control lead to rewards and freedom.
Session 4: Place Training and Settling at Home
Place training is one of the most useful skills for creating calm behaviour inside the home. This gives your dog a clear job and helps create a more settled home environment.
Session 5: Lead Manners and Practical Walking Skills
This session focuses on improving how your dog behaves on lead. The aim is to make walks more controlled, connected, and enjoyable.
Session 6: Recall, Real-Life Practice and Long-Term Plan
The final session focuses on strengthening recall, applying the skills in everyday situations, and creating a plan to keep progressing. By the end of the program, you should have a clearer understanding of how to maintain structure, build consistency, and keep improving your dog’s behaviour.
