Socialization and structure

A confident guardian breed needs to learn early that most people and dogs are not a threat. Our puppy training program introduces your puppy to new people, places and sounds in a controlled way, and builds basic obedience and impulse control. Read why in the importance of socialization in puppy training.

Obedience and control

A Rottweiler should walk beside you calmly, come when called and settle on command. Through obedience training we teach those basics and build reliability around distractions. For dogs that are ready, off-leash control is the next step.

Behavior problems

Guarding, fear and aggression are best handled early. Our behavior modification program uses controlled exposure, structure and owner training, and you can read more in our guides to aggressive dog training and resource guarding.
