What Does Intermediate Training Mean?
Our intermediate training program is perfect for the person who wants to level up their training with partial off-leash reliability. The biggest difference between this program and our basic program is that it includes an off-leash recall! This is one of the most important things in dog training!
Can old dogs learn new tricks?
If puppy training is the foundation that behavior is built on, adult dog training is the house itself. When dogs are adults, they have full processing capabilities that younger dogs do not. They are extremely adept at picking up patterns, understand cause and effect, and have distinct personalities that are now fully evolved. That allows us to dive in and create plans that are suited for them.
So the short answer is, yes! Training is possible with older dogs and we love working with them. It takes more personalization at older ages, but that’s part of what makes it worthwhile to hire a trainer!
What can we do for you?
At Paw Oasis, we are very proud to offer an array of programs based on your and your dog’s unique needs!
Our trainers know that every dog and person is unique. That’s why every program not only includes training but also a personalized training plan that fits your needs. We start our training clients with a consultation where we can go over your goals, lifestyle, and more to better figure out what you need from us. In addition to training, every program can be customized to include behavior modification on things such as touch sensitivity, resource guarding, and more.
Our dog training programs help establish socialization with other dogs, train vital obedience commands, and teach you how to build a connection with your dog like no other. Read below to learn more about our programs!
Intermediate Board and Train
Our intermediate board and train program is a 21-day, partially off-leash program for dogs 9 months and older. We build a solid recall, teach basic obedience, and create partial off-leash reliability between you and your dog.
Why pick a board and train?
Board and training allow us to set the foundation for your dog’s training in our facility while also boarding with us overnight. Board and trains provide the strongest result possible out of all of our programs as they allow us to set new habits with your dog that you can then maintain with a fresh slate as they transition back to your home. You are never left out of your dog's training. Once they are complete, we teach you how to maintain it at home!
This program includes:
- 21 days of training
- 21 nights of resort-style silver-level boarding in a deluxe suite with a run. Details on our lodging accommodations are here: Dog Boarding Lewisville, Carrollton, Frisco, Plano Texas - Paw Oasis PetResort
- 3 hours of social play daily
- intermediate training equipment (i.e. collar and leash)
- A host of trained commands personalized to your unique needs. Typically includes sit, down, place, stay, out (leave it/drop it), off, name recognition, wait, off-leash recall, off-leash go to place, and let's go (loose leash walking).
- 3 private lessons, one at the end of the program and another 2 as follow-ups
- A lifestyle & wellness plan
- A report card every 3 days
- FREE lifetime support in our Facebook community - COMING SOON
Intermediate Day School
Our Intermediate Day School program is a 15-day, on-leash program for dogs 9 months and older. We build a solid recall, teach basic obedience, and create partial off-leash reliability between you and your dog.
Why pick a day school?
Day schools are our most popular training program at Paw Oasis! A day school allows your dog to get one-on-one training with a professional (similar to a board and train) while also allowing you to enjoy your pup at night! While results may not be as strong as with a board and train, a day school allows your dog to get started on their training with little effect on your busy schedule. In addition, ALL of our programs include hands-on instruction for you, the human. Once the program is complete, we teach you how to maintain your dog’s training with you and at home!
This program includes:
- 15 days of training
- Full days of social play daily
- Advanced training equipment (i.e. collar and leash)
- A host of trained commands personalized to your unique needs. Typically includes sit, down, place, stay, out (leave it/drop it), off, name recognition, wait, off-leash recall, off-leash go to place, and let's go (loose leash walking).
- 3 private lessons, one at the end of the program and another 2 as follow-ups.
- A report card daily
- FREE lifetime support in our Facebook community - COMING SOON
Private Lessons:
Private lessons allow you to learn how to train your dog with the guidance of a professional. With our private lessons, we work one-on-one with you to teach you how to achieve the goals you have for your dog. While it may require more commitment from you, the owner, it gets you involved in your dog’s training from the jump!
Private lessons include:
- 1 hour of private training with a professional
- A training plan for you to continue following at home
For a dog to complete the equivalent of an intermediate training program, we recommend a minimum of 10-15 lessons!
