All dogs need dog training. If you are not well-versed in how to train your dog on your own, getting some help from a professional dog trainer in Jacksonville is recommended. At Unleash Fido, we offer Puppy Training Classes, Basic Obedience Classes and Advanced Obedience Classes, along with Behavior Modification Classes, Private Lessons and Doggie Boot Camp. Get in touch with us to find out which dog obedience training class best suits your pooch.

This depends on whether your dog has had any training previously. If your dog knows basic commands such as sit and stay, this is a great foundation. It can be harder for some dogs to learn to heel properly, and impulsive dogs can have trouble with “wait” and “leave it.” Dog training is a progression, and as your dog’s owner, you’ll learn how to train your dog successfully. Advanced dog training includes learning tricks and how to walk off-leash.

Not usually. Dogs are much like children — if you let them get away with pulling on the leash, jumping on visitors or ignoring a “stay” command even one time, they will repeatedly try to get away with it going forward. If you slip up and your dog becomes unruly, bring them back to the dog trainers at Unleash Fido and we will get you both back on track.

No. You may want just one or two Private Lessons or a few Behavior Modification classes. It depends on what you want to teach them. Do they go insane every time the mailman approaches? Are they nipping or growling at family members? Do they get into the trash as soon as they hear the shower start? The seriousness of the behavior and how ingrained it is dictates your response. Call our dog trainers for advice and recommendations.
