Dog training is a tricky subject.

On one hand, it's crucial you get it right the first time. If your dog is improperly trained in the beginning, it becomes exponentially harder to go back and retrain them.

On the other hand, there are many different types of dog training. Some emphasize using positive reinforcement while others recommend using negative. As a result, it can be difficult to know what type of training to use. And when you think about the fact that retraining a dog is an immensely difficult process, you'll understand why training your dog right the first time is so important.

Here in Tampa, it can be tough training your dog right while living a busy lifestyle. As a result, the majority of Tampa dog owners never quite get around to completely training their dogs. Instead, they settle for a dog that's obedient some of the time, but doesn't listen other times.

Although this isn't an ideal situation, for people who can't dedicate a serious chunk of time to dog training, it's the best they can do.

With dog training in Tampa, there are two “skill tiers.” The first tier represents the essential training required for an obedient dog. The first tier includes commands like sit, stay, come, and potty training.

In the second tier, you have more trick-oriented skills, such as roll over, shake, beg, etc.

Now, for most dog owners, the first tier is absolutely required. What good is a dog that never listens to you? A dog that runs around in your house, destroys your property and constantly misbehaves…

Unfortunately, most Tampa dog owners don't have the time to fully teach their dog tier one skills. So their dogs listen to them…some of the time.

Maybe six out of ten times, when the owner says “sit,” the dog will obey. When company comes to the door, though, the dog is up and running around – barking like crazy.

Because of Florida residents' busy schedules, at Southland Dog Training we've developed a unique course designed to teach your dog to obey all tier one commands – every time.

We have a wide variety of training options, but one of our most popular is the "In House Doggie Bootcamp."

For the first appointment, you'll meet your dog trainer in person. After that, they can completely train your dog without you even being there! This means you can go out and maintain your busy schedule while your dog is being properly trained at home.

And, of course, our Doggie Bootcamp is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you register your dog for the Doggie Bootcamp and find yourself having problems after the course is over, we'll come over and fix the problem for free.

Southland Dog Training has been in business for over two decades. We only employ the most excellent trainers, ensuring that your dog will be perfectly trained and obedient when they're done with our course.
