Obedience Training
Transform Your Pup into a Well-Behaved Companion, and Get the Obedience Your Dog Deserves!
What is Obedience training?
Obedience training is a crucial component of dog ownership that involves teaching your dog to behave properly and follow commands. By participating in obedience training, you can establish a deeper bond with your furry friend while also ensuring their safety and well-being. Obedience training can help your dog learn basic commands such as “sit”, “stay”, “come”, and “heel”, as well as more advanced skills like off-leash obedience and behavior modification. The benefits of obedience training extend beyond just obedience, as it can help to improve communication between you and your dog, reduce anxiety and destructive behavior, and even enhance socialization skills. At Cantrell’s Gundogs, we offer a range of obedience training programs that are tailored to your dog’s specific needs and personality.
Our Positive Reinforcement Philosophy
We believe that obedience training should be a positive and rewarding experience for both the dog and the owner. Our science-based techniques focus on building trust and communication between you and your furry companion, while rewarding good behavior and correcting unwanted behaviors in a gentle and humane way. With our experienced and compassionate trainers, you can rest assured that your dog will receive the best care and training possible.

Nothing but amazing things to say about Simona! I sent my large breed dog Ace here for the Behavioral Board & Train Program and I could tell he absolutely loved it. I loved the updates, pictures, and videos that I would receive while being away from him. The training 100% worked and I could see immense improvement in his confidence and behavior. One of my favorite parts is the follow up training, so that I am equipped to continue the training that has been put into motion. Would recommend to anyone looking to really make a difference in their dogs life!

Amazing! Simona works magic! We chose the 3 week board and train Behavior Modification with Simona and I feel like we have a new pup.
Simona was great at updates while she was training. Videos, Chats, Homework and items that may be of help after bringing her home.
The day I picked her up, I was in tears and amazed at the difference. Walking without fear has been a huge goal! I love walking her now. Simona gave us the right tools and basically trained us to ensure success. The exit training was so informative as well as the private at our home the next week. She sets you and your pup up for success. She even sent a binder for us to have to look back on to keep us on the right track. Be ready to enjoy your pup and have a better relationship and understanding their needs.

I was super hesitant about sending our Tucker off to a board and train program for 3 weeks. Tucker has so much energy as a young golden retriever and he loved to pull on the leash or dart after squirrels. Simona met with Tucker and me and I immediately felt comfortable, knowing she would take good care of my dog. Tucker returned to us with his same personality but with the added bonus of being an obedient, well mannered dog! Our walks are enjoyable and he follows our commands. We learned so many other strategies from her to help Tucker be a well behaved dog both in our home and out in public places. We couldn’t be happier with the results!
