Leave it! Come! Stay!
Don’t wait for an emerency to wish your
dog knew these life-saving skills.
Basic Training: Part One
A training class that builds real results from day one.
Is your dog ignoring you when you call their name?
Pulling you down the street on walks?
Struggling with basic commands that could keep them safe?
Skills You Will Learn Together
Why these skills matter
These aren't just "nice to have" behaviors.
Safety First
The attention and impulse control your dog develops in Basic Training: Part One directly leads to emergency skills that could save your dog's life.
When you can get your dog's attention instantly, you can redirect them away from dangerous situations.
Daily Peace of Mind
Imagine walking through your front door without your dog jumping on you or your guests.
Picture enjoying peaceful walks where your dog walks beside you instead of pulling toward every distraction.
These foundational skills make everyday life with your dog actually enjoyable.
Building for the Future
Basic Training: Part One creates the learning foundation that makes all advanced training possible.
Dogs who master these basics learn faster and retain more in future classes.
You'll also learn:
✓ How to read your dog's body language and understand what they're really trying to tell you
✓ Communication techniques that actually work (hint: it's not about being louder)
✓ Why timing is everything in dog training and how to get it right
✓ How to reinforce good behaviors so they stick for life
What Makes St. Hubert’s Basic Training Class Different?
Our Basic Training Classes aren't about teaching tricks.
They’re about building the essential foundation that transforms your
relationship with your dog and sets them up for success in every situation.
But here's what makes our class experience truly powerful:
Real-World
Distraction Training
Every week, your dog practices staying focused on you while other dogs are training nearby.
This real-world distraction training is something you simply can't replicate at home.
Weekly Accountability
That Actually Works
When you know you'll be back in class next week, you practice more at home.
Plus your trainer can spot and correct small issues before they become BIG problems.
Students who complete Basic Training: Part One experience:
✓ Faster learning – Each class builds on the last, with increasing distractions
✓ Stronger retention – Repeated practice in challenging environments makes behaviors permanent
✓ Real-world reliability – Skills that work at home, at the park, and everywhere in between
✓ Better results – Comprehensive training creates confident, well-behaved dogs who can handle anything
