Obedience Academy for Cadets

Enhance your Cadet’s education by letting him/her attend our Basic Obedience Academy for Cadets, where every Cadet can be our #1 Cadet.  At The 1 Dog Trainer Academy, obedience education starts with teaching your Cadet focus and control. We interactively guide your Cadet to learn in the two ways all dogs have in common, which is learning through both an associative and a habitual routine.  For example, we show your Cadet what “heel” means and how being in the heel position allows him to feel confident in your commands and wishes while creating consistent habits. We use balanced training techniques that work best for your Cadet and their personalities and drives.

The Basic Obedience Academy for Cadets will focus on teaching your Cadet to heel on a leash with and without distractions properly, sit automatically when you come to a stop, sit/stay both on and off leash, down/stay both on and off leash, recall both on and off leash into sitting heel position. These commands will ensure that your Cadet stays safe, focused, and under control regardless of whether you are home or out enjoying the community together.  This learned and habitual routine will allow you and your Cadet to enjoy each other in a respectful, peaceful, and relaxed interaction for many joyful and, most importantly, safe years to come!

During the Basic Obedience Academy for Cadets, we also work on any existing “bad & unwanted” behavior from housebreaking, jumping, in-home manners, and socialization**

We also incorporate field trips to pet-friendly stores and downtown Deland to enhance your Cadet’s social training experience.

We offer some of the best dog obedience training in the area, so we hope you sign up your dog to be one of our newest Cadets!
