How Northern Virginia Dog Trainers Can Teach Your Dog to Respect You

One problem many dog owners experience is that their pet dogs don’t seem to respect them – as a consequence, these dogs will never follow instructions even when you have exhausted your storehouse of patience teaching them. This may be the best time to seek help from Off-Leash K9 Training.

At Off-Leash K9 Training, we can help you learn to assert yourself as the pack leader for your dog. Your dog has to learn who is at the top of the totem pole in your family hierarchy and that person should be you, not your dog. Dogs can exhibit a range of rude behaviors that stem from lack of pack leadership on your behalf.

One example of very bad behavior is when your dog steals food from the dining table when your back is turned. Your dog might even resort to tearing up garbage bags in an effort to get kitchen scraps. Unless your dog is malnourished or underfed, there should be no reason for your dog to do this.  One of the things you will learn in your first lesson at our dog training facility in Northern Virginia is pack leadership and proper correction for the unwanted behavior. 

Take note that you are also being trained when you enroll your dog in at our dog training in Northern Virginia. This is because you are viewed by your dog as the “parent” in the family – and like human kids, you can expect your “child” to misbehave at times.  But that doesn’t mean you don’t love them. It just means your dog has to learn better manners than he already has. This is where we step in and teach you proper communication so that you can set clear communication and boundaries for your dog.

At Off Leash K9 Training, we cannot produce miracles overnight. However, we can help your dog (and you) drastically progress in a very short amount of time as you will see in our 400+ before/after videos on our youtube channel.
