At Ridgeside K9 Summerville, we understand that dog owners want to play an active role in their dog’s training journey—and we encourage it! However, not everyone has the time, experience, or foundational knowledge to effectively train their dog from the start. That’s why we developed our Hybrid Training Program—a perfect blend of professional training and hands-on owner involvement
What is the Hybrid Training Program?
Our Hybrid Training Program is designed to give dogs and their owners a strong start. The program begins with one week of immersive training, where your dog will learn using a proven marker-based system. This method builds clear communication and lays the foundation for long-term success.
What Will Your Dog Learn During Our Hybrid Training Program?
During the one-week immersion, your dog will be introduced—or reintroduced—to foundational commands and behaviors, including:
- Sit, down, and place
- Loose leash walking
- Waiting at the door
- Environmental neutrality
This immersive experience sets the stage for smoother training at home.
Continued Training at Home
Once the initial training is complete, your dog will return home for a minimum of three mandatory in-home training sessions. These lessons are essential for:
- Reinforcing the communication system between dog and owner
- Mastering the skills learned during the immersion
- Addressing specific challenges in your home environment
Our trainers will work with you to establish rules, boundaries, and structure, ensuring long-term success in your dog’s behavior.
Who is The Hybrid Training Program For?
This program is ideal for:
- Owners who want hands-on involvement: Learn alongside your dog to build lasting skills.
- Multi-dog households: Manage behaviors and create harmony among your pets.
Please note: Your dog will not be fully trained after the one-week immersion. Owners are expected to complete “homework” between lessons to solidify progress and enhance results.
