Build a Well-Mannered, Reliable Dog

At Tellez K9 Dog Training, our obedience programs are designed to help dogs become more responsive, manageable, and reliable in everyday life.

Whether you're starting with basic obedience or looking for more advanced control, we create a training plan based on your dog's current behavior, training history, and your goals as an owner.

We serve Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and surrounding areas of North Carolina.

What Is Dog Obedience Training?

Obedience training teaches your dog to understand and reliably respond to commands while developing better manners, focus, and impulse control.

Our goal isn't simply to teach commands in a controlled environment. We work toward creating obedience that carries over into the situations you encounter every day.

Depending on your dog's program and training level, obedience may include:

  • Sit

  • Down

  • Stay

  • Place

  • Heel

  • Recall

  • Come

  • Leave It

  • Impulse Control

  • Leash Manners

  • Doorway Manners

  • Greeting Manners

  • Neutrality Around People and Dogs

  • Obedience Around Distractions

  • Off-Leash Reliability

Our Obedience Programs

Basic Obedience

Our Basic Obedience Program is designed to establish a strong foundation of communication, obedience, and manners.

Training may include fundamental commands such as sit, down, place, stay, recall, and leash walking, along with impulse control and appropriate behavior around everyday distractions.

Best for: Dogs that need a reliable foundation in obedience and household manners.

Intermediate Obedience

Intermediate training builds on the fundamentals and introduces greater reliability around distractions and more challenging environments.

The goal is to help your dog respond consistently even when the environment becomes more demanding.

Best for: Dogs that understand basic commands but need improved reliability, control, and focus.

Advanced Obedience

Advanced obedience focuses on creating a higher level of reliability and control in real-world environments.

Training may incorporate more challenging distractions, increased distance, duration, and off-leash work when appropriate.

Best for: Owners looking for a highly reliable dog capable of maintaining obedience in a variety of real-world situations.

Training That Goes Beyond Commands

A dog can know a command without being reliably obedient.

That's why our approach focuses on more than simply teaching your dog what a command means. We work toward improving communication, consistency, impulse control, and reliability.

Your dog should be able to listen not only in your living room, but also when there are distractions, new environments, people, dogs, and other challenges around.

Balanced Dog Training

Tellez K9 uses a balanced training approach that combines appropriate rewards with clear communication and boundaries.

Training methods and equipment are selected based on the individual dog, its temperament, behavior, and training goals.

The objective is to create a dog that understands what is expected and can respond reliably to its handler.

Owner Participation Matters

Successful obedience training requires more than training the dog during lessons.

Owners play an important role in maintaining the behaviors their dogs learn. We provide instruction and guidance so you understand how to communicate with your dog and reinforce the training between sessions.

Consistency at home and in everyday situations is an important part of creating lasting results.

Which Obedience Program Is Right for Your Dog?

Not sure whether your dog needs Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced Obedience?

That's what the evaluation process is for.

We'll consider your dog's current obedience, behavior, temperament, age, training history, and your goals before recommending the appropriate training program.
