Online Obedience Training Course

Obedience your dog actually does, not just knows

Most dogs can sit at home. Far fewer sit at the front door with a visitor arriving, or come when called at the park. This online dog obedience course teaches the basic cues and, more importantly, how to make them hold up in real life, where the distractions are.

Who it’s for

All dogs and all owners. Young dogs who haven’t learnt the basics yet, teenage dogs who have stopped listening, adult dogs who could use a refresher, and new rescue dogs settling into a home. No previous training needed, and it works alongside any class you’ve done before.

What you’ll learn

• Sit, down, stay, come, heel and leave it, taught with body language first and vocal cues second
• The 10 golden rules of dog training, and why timing makes or breaks a reward
• Why your dog listens at home but not outside, and how to change that with distraction training
• Distance and duration training, and combining cues into real-life sequences
• Fading out hand signals and treats so your dog responds to a word alone
• Everyday manners: jumping, barking for attention, chewing and pulling on the lead
• How to motivate your dog and keep training fun with games

What’s inside

Four weeks of lessons, taken at your pace. Week 1 covers the basics of dog training, hand signals, timing and the first practice of each cue. Week 2 moves training outside and adds the vocal cue. Week 3 fades the body language, builds distance and duration, and starts combining cues. Week 4 proofs vocal cues around distractions, fades the hand signals and shows you how to keep your dog motivated in different situations.

How you’ll train

This course is built on the Asset Method: understand what your dog values and use it to reward the behaviour you want, so your dog chooses to listen rather than being made to. You’ll build each cue in small steps using the three D’s of dog training, distance, duration and distractions, adding one at a time so your dog keeps winning. Then you’ll learn to fade the treats and pay with real life: the lead coming off, the door opening, the game starting.

Why online obedience training works

A weekly class gives you one hour in one room. Dog obedience is built in your hallway, your street and your park, ten minutes a day. This online course gives you the steps in order, the troubleshooting for when it doesn’t work, and 12 months to come back to the lessons as your dog grows. Watch a lesson, practise, move up when your dog is ready.
