Build solid obedience skills and address everyday behavior challenges to help your adult dog become a calm, well-mannered companion.

This program focuses on strengthening communication and responsiveness by teaching or refining key cues like sit, down, stay, leash manners, and recall. You’ll also learn how to correct and prevent common issues such as pulling on the leash, jumping on guests, ignoring commands, and door dashing.

Each session provides practical, real-life training tailored to your dog’s age, personality, and learning history. We’ll cover strategies for polite greetings, impulse control, and building focus around distractions, as well as tips for creating consistent routines that promote long-term success.

Whether your dog is newly adopted, needs a skills refresher, or has developed some unhelpful habits over time, this course helps you set clear expectations and rebuild trust through positive, reward-based methods.

Training takes place in the comfort of your home or at a location of your choice, so your dog learns where it matters most — in the environments they live and explore every day.

The Bark to School for Adults program includes three one-hour private sessions, giving you focused, customized support to help your dog become the best version of themselves.
