Proven Results for Our Obedience Training Program

Transform Your Dog with Basic Obedience Training

At Ironwood Dog Training, our Basic Obedience Program lays the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior and communication between you and your dog. Designed for dogs of all ages, this program focuses on essential commands such as sit, stay, down, come, heel, and leave it—as well as leash manners and impulse control. Whether your dog is a playful pup or an adult in need of structure, we tailor our methods to fit their personality and learning style.

With our positive reinforcement techniques and real-world training environments, your dog will not only learn the rules—they’ll enjoy following them. Let me help you build a calm, confident, and well-mannered companion.

Sarah M. - Golden Retriever Owner

Rated 5 out of 5

"After 6 weeks of training, my Golden Retriever Max went from pulling on walks and ignoring commands to perfect leash walking and immediate response to 'sit' and 'stay.' The trainer taught me techniques I still use at home. Best investment for our family's peace of mind!"

Rated 5 out of 5

"Our rescue Luna had issues with jumping on visitors and not listening to commands. The obedience training transformed her into a well-mannered dog who greets guests politely and comes when called. The trainer educated our whole family on consistent methods. Highly recommend!"

"As a first-time owner, I felt overwhelmed training my energetic Lab mix Buddy. The obedience classes taught him essential commands and gave me confidence as a leader. Three months later, Buddy is the polite, obedient dog I dreamed of. Worth every penny!"
