General Obedience Training Programs in Royal Oak, MI

Sit, Stay, & Everything in Between

At Connected Canine Academy, we offer two specialized hybrid board-and-train general obedience training programs: one for puppies and one for adult dogs. Both are designed to teach essential commands and build a strong foundation of good behavior and each program that starts with board-and-train can transition into private lessons for continued progress and clear communication.

In our puppy program, we focus on sit, stay, heel, potty training, and chewing prevention. Puppies aged 12 weeks to 5.5 months stay with us for immersive training, with slip leads used to reinforce basic commands and routines. For adult dogs, our program focuses on distraction-based training to improve obedience and focus in real-world situations.

Power of Positive & Negative Reinforcement in Dog Training

The best method for creating lasting, effective behavior changes is a humane, balanced approach that combines both positive and negative reinforcement. By combining these strategies, we encourage desired behaviors while helping your dog understand and correct unwanted actions in a clear and supportive way. When done responsibly, this combination ensures your dog learns what to do and understands why it’s important in real-life situations. More specifically, it:

  • Builds Consistency
  • Improves Learning
  • Increases Motivation
  • Strengthens Communication

Prevent Destructive Behavior With Private Dog Training

If your dog struggles with aggression, reactivity, or anxiety, private dog training is the perfect solution. Our personalized approach addresses every behavior problem, from crate training for a puppy who can’t settle to leash training for an older dog who pulls. Using clicker training and positive reinforcement, combined with responsible negative reinforcement, we encourage good habits while addressing issues like destructive behavior and dog aggression.

Our boarding and training program offers an immersive experience, providing a consistent environment where your dog can learn and reinforce positive habits. We prioritize socialization, ensuring your dog feels confident in different settings and environments. Each training session is tailored to your dog so we can achieve positive results for them. In the end, we help your dog overcome issues like anxiety and fear while improving their long-term behavior.
