Jump to it

Your new addition to
the family just doesn't seem to
understand that there are certain
ground rules to be obeyed if the two of you are going to live together. Jump Start Dog Training uses motivational training methods, a firm but fair approach to proper obedience training.

Thinking of jumping in

A dog can bring untold joy into your life - or untold stress and disappointment. The potential benefits of a well-trained companion
are so great that becoming a responsible pet owner deserves whatever time it takes to do it right.

Starting off on the Right Paw

Choosing to obedience train is the single most important aspect in ensuring a mutually rewarding relationship for years to come.

Training your dog can start in puppyhood as early as 8-10 weeks of age. A dog is constantly learning, so it's vital that he learn the right things.

Obedience training makes every dog a better canine citizen, and there is no time like the present to begin your dog's education.

Jump Start

We here at Jump Start Dog Training ensure that each owner is taught how to effectively handle their dog using positive reinforcement and motivational techniques. Sessions are conducted using praise, not punishment, making each lesson fun and enjoyable for both dog and owner alike.

We also encourage participation by everyone sharing the same household, an important consideration since many children may not yet know the appropriate way of dealing with a new pet.
