To make your dream dog come true, we can train your pooch to fit comfortably into your life.  And-in a word -- behave!

BASIC OBEDIENCE TRAINING Learning that will last a lifetime…

We offer on-leash and off-leash obedience training programs for all ages and breeds, and provide specialized assistance with difficult behavioral problems.

Your dog will learn to sit, lie down, stay, heel, and come when called - and you'll learn how to apply these commands in many day-to-day situations using both verbal commands as well as hand signals.

We'll also help you crack some of those annoying habits your dog may have: digging, begging, pulling on the leash, housebreaking, jumping on people, incessant barking, and aggression issues. To correct these problem behaviors, we'll teach your dog to understand commands such as "off, "quiet," and "leave it."

Your dog will receive two to three sessions of focused obedience training each day.

Socialization Training takes place in our supervised yards where dogs learn to have fun playing with other dogs and obey under the most distracting conditions.

Using both indoor and outdoor training areas designed to match your home environment, we can teach your dog everything - from navigating a kitchen without snatching food off the counter, to coming immediately when called even with the distraction of being around lots of other dogs. It's what we like to call Real World Training.

We have found that the combination of boarding and training is a powerful and efficient alternative for busy owners who want concentrated training with long-lasting results.

	THE CANYON VIEW PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH At Canyon View we train your dog - and you! We make sure you develop the skills to maintain good behavior in your dog once he or she returns home from the Ranch. That's why your participation is an essential part in all of our training programs. We make learning fun. We utilize positive reinforcement - with lots of praise, love and enthusiasm - to build confidence, and enhance your dog's bond with you. We have found that the one-size-fits-all approach to dog-training simply doesn't work. That's why we tailor a training program specifically for you and your pet's particular needs.

PROGRAMS TO FIT YOUR NEEDS

You can opt to board your dog for training at the ranch on a per-night basis, or select from our comprehensive training packages where your dog stays with us for longer periods of time.

Your participation is important in your dog's training and we ask that you to come to the Ranch for private lessons several times during his or her stay.
