Our Basic Obedience Program is tailored to each dog's unique behavior and covers the commands focus, sit, stay, down, come, leave it, let’s go and loose leash walking. We begin by allowing your dog to acclimate to the trainer's presence, addressing any questions, and reviewing key points from your new client form. Training starts promptly, with adjustments made for aggressive dogs, such as using a leash or muzzle if necessary. If direct interaction isn't possible initially, we can coach owners through exercises with demonstrations and active feedback. Our techniques are straightforward, empowering owners to provide solid training even in challenging situations.
Animals learn best with positive reinforcement. Punishing a dog for every mistake only causes confusion. Fearful compliance to orders may be achieved, but the effects will not last. Rewarding a dog for quick and proper obedience to a command builds a positive relationship and allows your canine friend to flourish. Rogue Dog Training applies the psychological principles of operant behavioral conditioning and classical conditioning to build a positive association with obedience. The result is a dog who actually wants to behave. Reward based training has the added benefit of lasting for years. Your dog will like obeying you and will continue to obey the commands it learned in basic obedience for the rest of its life. Trust Rogue Dog Training for fun obedience classes with life-long results.

Steve is great, he gave us personalized advice and training for our terrier puppy. We wanted to have him come to our house and he accommodated that. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, competent and professional dog trainer.
We had a tough situation with a rescue Chihuahua that had aggression issues. Steve was able to find some common ground with her and I know she really took to him. She never showed any aggression towards him, although with anyone else she would lunge ...
We had recently adopted a one year old pit rescue with anxiety (due to being at a shelter) and didn’t know how to go about starting training. We really wanted to get a handle on how to communicate with our dog, crate training, and getting the b...

Steve did a fantastic job with our Pembroke welsh corgi, who despite being short, had a huge alpha personality. He taught us the leave it command, and had our dog trained not to touch treats on the ground in about 30 minutes! Previously our dog was d...
