DOG OBEDIENCE PROGRAMS

Blending Movement with Canine Companionship

Real-world dog training for dogs who live active, adventurous lives.
We help dogs and owners build trust, structure, and confidence -- so they can move through the world together with clarity and control.

Advantages of our unique Obedience programs:

  • Movement‑based learning — We believe obedience behaviors should be taught functionally to support the dog both mentally and physically. 

  • Emotional and physical stability — We focus on calming the nervous system through impulse control, decompression, and confidence-building and then tackle precision.

  • Real‑world fluency — Skills practiced in environments that match the dog’s actual lifestyle.​

Unleash The Possibility

We work with clients navigating common (and frustrating) challenges like jumping, leash pulling, and unruly behavior—helping them become confident, capable leaders in their dog’s life.

​

Our approach focuses on:

  • Building a household structure that supports calm behavior and sets everyone up for success

  • Guiding you step by step through evidence-based strategies that address the behaviors you’re actually struggling with

  • Creating a long-term training plan that fits your lifestyle and supports lasting progress

​

So you can feel grounded, empowered, and truly connected—knowing your dog listens, responds, and grows into the reliable partner you’ve been working toward.

Obedience through fitness, confidence, and real‑world fluency — not force, not gimmicks, and not cookie‑cutter classes.
It’s obedience that feels modern, holistic, and grounded in science.

"We are so impressed with the progress our dog has made after just 8 sessions with Steven from Venture Dog Training! She learned how to sit, stay, lay down, take a breath, and leave it—and she absolutely loves Steven (and so do we)!

Steven is not only super knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly attentive. He’s even helped answer questions outside of our scheduled sessions—which we try not to take advantage of, haha! He’s truly passionate about what he does, and it shows.
We especially love that Steven comes to our house, making training so convenient and personalized. He even joined us for a session at our favorite bar to help train our pup in a real-world setting, which was exactly what we needed.

Steven is kind, trustworthy, and an all-around great guy. We couldn’t recommend him more!"

"I highly recommend working with Steven. Steven always brought a calm presence to our house. I felt 100% confident that he would help me train and understand my dog. Steven has a kind, loving, gentle approach. He heard my concerns and addressed them at each session. I learned what my dog is capable of - and my relationship with my dog has improved greatly. I learned: drop it, leave it, find it, place, stay, wait, crate, and much more."
