dog training in Palm Springs - Resources

Obedience Training

At Capital Dog Training, we start with the foundation of any good dog-owner relationship: obedience training. This is the stepping stone to a well-behaved canine companion. Through carefully structured lessons, your dog will learn basic commands such as "sit," "stay," "come," and "heel." Our approach is not one-size-fits-all; we tailor each session to fit your dog's learning pace and personality.

Behavior Modification

Nipping Unwanted Behaviors in the Bud

Behavior modification is crucial for addressing specific troublesome behaviors your dog may have developed. From excessive barking to destructive chewing, we have the expertise to help reshape your dog’s behaviors into more positive ones. Through patience and consistency, we work to understand the root cause of these behaviors, providing you with effective strategies to manage and correct them.

Puppy Training

Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting but challenging time. Our puppy training services focus on crucial early-life skills, including socialization, crate training, house training, and basic commands. We emphasize positive reinforcement, helping to set the stage for a lifetime of good habits.

Specialized Training Services

• Crate Training: We introduce your dog to the crate as a positive, safe space, aiding in both anxiety reduction and house training.
• Leash Training: Enjoy walks without the tug-of-war. Our leash training promotes polite leash manners, ensuring safe and enjoyable outings.
• Aggression Training: Addressing aggression early is key. Our trainers are experienced in identifying triggers and establishing protocols to manage and reduce aggressive tendencies.
• Socialization: A well-socialized dog is a happy, confident dog. We guide you through the process of safely exposing your dog to new experiences, environments, and fellow canines.

Advanced and Specialized Training

Expanding Horizons

For those looking to go beyond the basics, we offer advanced training, agility training, and even preparation for therapy and service dog certifications. These programs are designed to not only enhance your dog's skills but also to deepen the bond between you and your pet.

Flexible Training Options

Understanding the diverse needs of our clients, we provide a variety of training formats:

• Group Classes: Learn alongside other owners and dogs. Group classes are a great way to work on socialization in a structured environment.
• Private Lessons: For focused attention and personalized training plans, private lessons can be arranged at your convenience, in your home or at a location of your choosing.
• Board and Train: A more intensive option, this allows your dog to stay with us for a period, receiving dedicated training daily.
• In-Home Training: Our specialty. We come to you, providing training in the environment where your dog is most comfortable.
