Madden’s K9 4-Session Obedience Training

Build Better Obedience. Improve Communication. Create Reliable Everyday Skills.

A Structured Path to Better Obedience

Good obedience isn't just about whether your dog knows a command.

The real goal is building communication, consistency, impulse control, and reliable behaviors that carry over into everyday life.

Madden’s K9 4-Session Obedience Training is a structured one-on-one program designed to build your dog's foundation progressively rather than trying to fix everything in a single appointment.

Across four 60-minute sessions, we'll work through your dog's individual needs while building skills that become more reliable as distractions and real-world situations are introduced.

What We Focus On

Your program may include:

Sit, down, stay, and place
Name recognition and engagement
Impulse control
Focus around distractions
Loose-leash walking
Recall foundations
Door and household manners
Jumping and greeting manners
Reliable response to commands
Owner handling and communication
Real-world application

Your Four-Session Training Path

Session 1: Foundation & Communication

Establish clear communication between you and your dog while evaluating current obedience and building foundational behaviors.

Session 2: Obedience & Impulse Control

Strengthen obedience while teaching your dog to remain focused and controlled around everyday distractions.

Session 3: Leash Skills & Distractions

Build better leash behavior, engagement, and responsiveness as the training environment becomes more challenging.

Session 4: Real-World Reliability

Combine the skills you've developed and apply them to practical situations while creating a plan for continued progress.

What Makes This Different From a Single Session?

Four sessions give your dog time to learn, practice, make mistakes, improve, and progress.

Instead of receiving a list of commands and being sent home, you'll have multiple opportunities to build skills, address challenges, and learn how to continue the training between sessions.

What You'll Get

4 Private 60-Minute Sessions

One-on-one training tailored to your dog.

Progressive Training

Each session builds on the skills developed previously.

Owner Coaching

Learn how to communicate clearly and reinforce the behaviors you want.

At-Home Practice

Receive practical exercises to continue working between sessions.

Progress-Based Training

Training priorities can be adjusted as your dog develops and new challenges become apparent.

Who Is This For?

This program is designed for owners who want a structured approach to improving their dog's everyday obedience and are willing to practice between sessions.

It can be a good fit for dogs that need help with foundational obedience, impulse control, leash manners, focus, household manners, or general reliability.

For complex behavioral or significant safety concerns, an assessment or referral to an appropriately qualified professional may be recommended.

Training Is a Process, Not a Single Command.

A dog may understand a command in one environment and completely forget it when distractions appear.

That's why this program is structured around progression.

We build the foundation first, strengthen the behavior, introduce distractions, and then work toward applying those skills in everyday situations.

You aren't just learning what to tell your dog.

You're learning how to help your dog understand, respond, and succeed.
