My puppy is 7 months. Well socialized but does not listen to any commands. Can you help?

Tails Up basic obedience is great

Community answer · Jeanne Sorenson · 2018-09-21

You would really want to sign up for the beginning obedience class at the Tails Up Dog Training. This is an essential class for the dog to learn all basic obedience commands. The class is eight weeks long and it's much needed for both - the dog and the owner. It helped us a lot! As far as I know, the beginning obedience classes are filled up pretty quickly, so you may want to call their office to check for the available start dates or put your name on the waiting list.

Question on Google
Do you offer classes for training therapy dogs? Dante is signed up for the Canine Good Citizen class coming up this Thursday. I am hopeful that he passes that so I am looking for training for therapy dogs. Thank you.

The Tails Up Dog Training does offer therapy dogs classes. You will have to check with the staff to see when the next class is scheduled. Have fun with Dante in the CGC class!

We have used Tails Up for training our 2 dogs. We had a wonderful experience both times, most recently went through puppy kindergarten obedience. Bonnie is very knowledgeable and patient, and also no nonsense (which we love) making the class both effective and fun. Our puppy loved going each week, and we noticed real progress in both obedience and confidence. The classes are also reasonably priced, which makes the quality of training even more impressive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive start to their puppy’s training journey.

We took our dog to two classes there. 100% would recommend. He’s much better around other dogs and we learn real useful simple skills with him. They helped teach him useful skills while allowing him to keep his same fun personality

Tails up has now helped me train 3 dogs. Their teachers are wonderful. They have everything from puppy kindergarten for socialization skills, beginning obedience for those starting out with an older dog, or maybe need a refresher. You can get further training in Obedience up to competitive level, get AKC Canine Good Citizen Certified. Teach your dog some new tricks or nose work. Knowledgeable staff can help with everything you need to become a better trainer for your dog. They have allowed me to build a deeper connection with my dogs. I will be bringing all of my dogs here in the future as well.

Tails Up teaches you how to effectively communicate with your dog. I brought our 1.5 year old rescue dog to the basic obedience class and I am thrilled with my dog’s progress! When we started class my dog would bark, lunge, and snap at other dogs, especially when he was on a leash. My dog also struggled to walk on a leash. After the first class, I was equipped with tools and strategies to manage the behavior. Now my dog can be around other dogs without issue and is happy to follow commands. Our trainers easily managed our class and each dog received individual attention. Thank you, Tails Up! We can’t wait to sign up for another class.

As someone who lives and breathes for her dogs, knowledgeable trainers who are truly invested in a dog's wellbeing and potential is a must, which is why I've been taking my dogs to Tails Up Dog Training for years. Owned and operated by a many MANY times over AKC national champion, Kori Bevis, with trainers who have competition accolades of their own, Tails Up is quality training. The best of the best. But perhaps most importantly, these are 'dog people' (as is their clientele) who just genuinely love dogs. I have a Golden Retriever and a Rottweiler, each with their own needs and personalities that are not only understood by Tails Up, but also embraced, with training adjusted accordingly. No one-size-fits-all approach here! Bottom line, there's no shortage of trainers/schools competing to be among the best, and Tails Up sets the bar. Shout out to Mara who my dogs and I adore. Her kindness, patience, and expertise has helped them tremendously:) Monday evening Novice class is the highlight of our week!
