Helping Owners & Pets Thrive With Dog Obedience Training in Royal Oak, MI
Training That Creates Confident Dogs & Happy OwnersDogs aren’t born knowing how to be the perfect companion, but they can become one with the right training! At Connected Canine Academy, we ditch the outdated “alpha” mindset and focus on teaching your dog the way they actually learn. Think of it like parenting: structure, guidance, and plenty of rewards. Whether your pup needs aggressive dog training, basic obedience, leash training, or a little help with impulse control, we make training fun, effective, and stress-free for both of you.
Every dog has their own quirks, so training isn’t one-size-fits-all. Maybe your puppy needs socialization to grow into a confident adult, or your older dog has anxiety or reactivity making walks a nightmare. We use a mix of positive reinforcement and communication tools like e-collars and prong collars to build trust and understanding.
The result? A well-behaved pup who listens and an owner who can finally enjoy life with their dog. Start training today and make life with your pup easier and more enjoyable!

Our Dog Training Method
Establishing a Parent-Child Relationship Unique to Your PupNo two dogs are the same, so training should never be one-size-fits-all. Some pups need help with leash manners, while others struggle with impulse control or obedience. That’s why we take a customized approach, tailoring every training plan to fit your dog’s personality and your goals. If your pup is full of energy, a little anxious, or just needs structure, through clear communication, we create a training plan that works for both of you.
Think of it like coaching your dog through life’s little challenges—learning how to walk politely instead of pulling like a sled dog, staying calm instead of turning greetings into full-speed tackles, and actually coming when called (instead of pretending not to hear you). We use treats, praise, and structured guidance to help your dog make good choices, along with tools like clicker training, e-collars and prong collars for clear communication.
After working with us, you’ll have a dog that listens, a lasting bond, and way fewer chaotic zoomies at the worst possible times!
