Dog Training
Obedience Training
Does your dog:
- Jump on strangers?
- Bark excessively?
- Not come when called?
- Bolt out of any open door?
- Drag you on walks?
- Chew on everything but toys?
- Have accidents around the house?
Obedience training is for you at our Addison location!
Obedience training focuses on basic techniques such as sitting, waiting, staying, heeling, and coming when called. Even these simple techniques will help dogs learn to mind better, but we also cover behavioral issues such as those outlined above. The goal is not only to have your dog better behaved but to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog. Each training program is tailored to your dog’s personality and your family’s needs.
Hybrid Approach to Training
Conventional wisdom says there's only two styles of dog training: reward-based, and punishment-based. In fact, there are over twenty different ways to train a dog!
Over the years, through research, trial and error, our dog trainers at The Yard Dog have developed a hybrid approach to training that is transformative for the owner and dog relationship. What sets us apart is simple: we do not put a Band-aid on bad behaviors such as jumping or chewing. We work to get to the core of the problem, and once discovered, provide guidance and training that is bespoke to each family and each situation, bridging the gap between pet and pet parent.

Meet Our Trainer, Tyler
I've had dogs almost all my life and started training when I was around 17 with my American Bulldog puppy, Sabbath. I would practice with my friends and family's dogs, too. Fast forward a few years and I got the opportunity to work as a kennel technician. Between my kennel manager and watching the trainers, it really pushed me to want to pursue a career in training professionally. I've now been training dogs and owners since 2014 and am AKC CGC certified. I specialize in board and trains but have years of experience with group classes and private lessons. I have trained obedience, house breaking, greeting behaviors, protection, attack on command, behavior mod, as well as a multitude of aggression cases. I've had the pleasure of working with tons of different breeds and personality types in both dogs and owners.
