 Skills are BUILT during your daily homework time. We use instruction, placement, repetition, distraction, and the proper balance of praise and correction to achieve an amazing transformation for you and your dog! We are really people trainers, and we teach YOU how to teach your dog!!

After your ON leash skills have become cemented in, over time and practice, you will be ready to pursue real OFF leash life!!

At Scotch Pines Dog Training, we believe obedience must extend beyond the leash. . . . where real life happens!! Start ON leash with the fundamental class, and then to OFF leash and BEYOND with the advanced class!! 

Man's Best Friend

Imagine strolling through a meadow while your dog romps in the sunshine! A rabbit bolts and your dog starts after it. You give a one word command and he wheels around, bounding cheerfully back to your side. You heel him calmly at your side and when you stop, he automatically sits. You tell him to lie down and stay while you walk off to investigate something. You give him a release command and he is back to frolicking during your outing together…you have full confidence that your dog is under your complete control. 

Does that sound like fiction to you? It could be your story! 

Our obedience program is truly amazing! We will patiently and strategically, bring you and your dog from Kindergarten to Graduation during this journey of transformation!


At Scotch Pines, we believe that true obedience must extend beyond the 6 foot leash. Gates get left open, leashes slip, and even in your own backyard. REAL LIFE is off-leash. Our goal is to instill off-leash reliability, regardless of the distractions. Your dog’s greatest distraction is other dogs, so a group class, with up to 25/30 dogs and handlers, provides an ideal setting for him to learn to listen to YOU no matter what the circumstances are!. We train for serious obedience, but you and your dog will have fun. It requires hard work and perseverance but the reward is incredible! Training represents such a short time compared to the life of your dog! If you love your dog make the commitment to help him live up to his potential as an obedient, trustworthy companion. 


People who love their dogs train them!
