Dog being trained to watch owner

Hold / Out

Dog being trained to hold position

The “hold” command is used to instruct a dog to gently and securely hold an object, usually in their mouth, without chewing, dropping, or damaging it. This command is commonly associated with retrieving activities, such as fetching a ball or picking up a dropped item.

Go to Box / Place

Dog being trained to stay in place

When in your home you can begin by choosing a specific location that you want your dog to go to …but we are also going to teach your dog that the command “Place“ is portable and that if you take a blanket or mat ( I like a yoga mat) wherever you are going…

Heel

Dog being trained to heel

Teach your dog to walk politely by your side without pulling on the leash. Begin with your dog on a leash and use the command “Heel” while walking. Keep treats close to your body to encourage them to stay by your side. Reward them for maintaining the proper position.

I highly recommend Gordon. He had a profound impact on me (as the one who needed to learn how to be a good and responsible dog owner) and my dog, a 3 y/o rescue, pit bull mix.

Gordon is a phenomenal dog trainer and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We signed up for the 12 week puppy course and it’s amazing to see our dog mature and become such a good boy.

We just started, but I can already say that Gordon is amazing with our puppy and with us as well:professional, kind, prompt, attentive, knowledgeable, respectful and easy going at the same time.

Gordon comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is personal, easy to work with and learn from. He uses real life stories to explain certain situations that we should be aware of to best train our dog.

There are not enough accolades to say about Gordon Webster and his dog training. We are previous dog owners yet this puppy was overwhelming us.
