Dog Training Programs Built Around Your Dog

Every program at Clark's Canine Training starts with a free in-person evaluation. From there, we recommend the format that fits your dog, your goals, and your schedule. Three formats, one balanced approach, and the same trainer from the first day to the last.

How We Deliver Training

Our most intensive program

Board and Train

Your dog lives and trains with Bailey for four to eight weeks, then you learn to maintain the results. Includes weekly progress videos and lifetime follow-up lessons.

What Are You Dealing With?

These pages explain how we approach the specific issues families call about most, and which format usually fits.

The cases other trainers turn away

Reactive & Aggressive Dog Training

For lunging, barking, growling, resource guarding, dog-on-dog fights, and bite histories. Every case is evaluated individually and honestly.

Leash reactivity: barking, lunging, and spinning at dogs, people, bikes, or cars on walks
Aggression toward strangers or guests, including dogs that have bitten
Dog-on-dog aggression, including fights between dogs in the same home

Leash pulling, recall, jumping, and manners

Obedience & Real-World Manners

Loose-leash walking, reliable recall, place, thresholds, and an end to jumping and counter surfing. Built and proofed around real distractions.

Leash pulling that makes walks a workout or a hazard
Dogs that will not come when called, or only come when treats are visible
Jumping on people, counter surfing, stealing food, bolting through doors

Start right, or fix it early

Puppy Training

Structured programs start around 6 months. Younger puppy owners get practical guidance on crate training, potty training, socialization, and leash basics.

Puppies and adolescents six months to about eighteen months who are jumping, mouthing, pulling, and ignoring you
Young dogs that are destructive, cannot settle, or are 'impossible' to house train
New owners who want the first year done right instead of fixed later

The problems owners call about most

If your dog's issue is on this list, we have almost certainly worked through it before.

Leash pulling and lunging
Not coming when called
Reactivity and aggression toward dogs or people
Jumping on people and counters
Potty and house-training issues
Resource guarding
Barking, fear, and anxiety
