Dog Obedience
Training Courses

Our Training Options

We offer two 4-week training courses: Beginner and Intermediate, designed to build a strong foundation and then take your dog’s skills to the next level.

If your dog needs more focused attention or your schedule doesn’t allow for regular classes, we also offer a Board & Train option. Your dog stays with us for 3–4 weeks and receives consistent, hands-on training in a structured environment.

Beginner 4-Week Course

Perfect for dogs who are just starting their training journey.

In this class we focus on building strong foundational manners and helping dogs learn how to focus and respond around distractions.

Skills we work on include:

• Sit
• Down
• Loose-leash walking
• Recall (“come”)
• Waiting at doors
• Off (no jumping)
• Accepting friendly strangers
• Basic grooming handling
• Introduction to place (bed)
• Building focus around other dogs

Intermediate 4-Week Course

Designed for dogs who already understand basic commands and are ready to build on those skills.

This class focuses on reliability, duration, and working through distractions.
Skills we build on include:

• Longer stays and impulse control
• Reliable recall from greater distance
• Polite loose-leash walking
• Advanced place training
• Ignoring distractions
• Calm behavior around people and dogs
• Improved focus and handler communication

This program is a great option if your dog needs more consistent, hands-on training or if your schedule doesn’t allow for regular classes.

Your dog stays with us at Mountain View Kennel and receives multiple daily training sessions, along with walks, outings, and real-world exposure. Each dog is trained based on their individual personality, behavior, and learning style, with a focus on building a well-rounded, reliable family dog.

Most programs start around 30 days, with training typically ranging from 3–6 weeks depending on your dog’s needs.
