Understanding Dog Training Basics
Basic dog training is the foundation of obedience, designed for dogs six months or older. The program encompasses dog training essentials, including commands, cues, manners, and behavior corrections. We eliminate the guesswork of dog psychology to implement and reinforce training skills that boost obedience levels and strengthen the bond between owners and their companions.
The Importance of Basic Training
Dogs thrive when they are provided with guidance and structure. Our program lays the groundwork for an obedient, well-mannered companion by educating owners on how to connect with their pets. Basic training mitigates safety concerns and undesirable behaviors by introducing effective communication practices, trust-building strategies, and a deeper understanding between owners and their dogs.
The Peak of Transformative Canine Development
During basic obedience training, your dog becomes a member of our family. Throughout the program, we focus on four pillars of obedience, including:
- General house manners to combat nipping, jumping, and biting
- Learning to respect boundaries, including furniture and personal space
- Basic and corrective commands
- Strong socialization skills with children, adults, and other dogs

Hilton Butler takes a family-style approach to basic dog training. Our program combines immersion training in our safe, supportive, and controlled home environment with four lessons in your home and unlimited Zoom video lessons. Prioritizing mutual understanding and trust building, our program fosters enjoyment, connection, and support for owners and dogs alike.
