Online Dog Training Courses
Because Martin Training & Behavior believes so strongly that proper management, enrichment, and training of dogs is the key to heading off behavior problems (those that cause dogs to lose their homes), we offer online courses for puppies from 7 weeks all the way to the senior years. You are sure to find an option that fits your needs.

* Walking calmly and closely on lead when asked instead of Freighttrain Annie
* Leaving stuff when asked, even when its the tastiest snack in the hands of a human puppy, instead of snatch and run

Congratulations! You have a brand new bundle of joy sitting at your feet, looking at you with adoring eyes, full of mischievousness, boundless energy, and that sweet puppy breath. Now what?!

Basic behaviors covered in the class include sit and down, coming when called, leash walking, wait, touch, and much more. You'll also receive tips on out-of-class socialization, household manners, house training, and puppy biting, among others.
