Start your dog off on the right paw. Foundations for puppies and adults
At Echo Dogs Training, we build reliable, confident dogs through clear, consistent foundations — whether you’re starting with a puppy or teaching an adult dog new habits. Our foundational programs focus on practical skills that create a calm, cooperative companion and set the stage for more advanced training.
What we cover
Calm, loose-leash walking (no pulling or lunging)
Come when called — dependable recall on and off leash
Polite greeting behavior with people and other dogs
Leave it and drop it for safety around tempting objects
Focus and attention: teach your dog to look to you for guidance
Problem-solving for common issues: jumping, barking, house manners, and crate confidence
Why foundations matter Good foundational training creates predictable behavior and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. For puppies, early learning prevents unwanted habits from forming. For adult dogs, foundations correct existing problems and provide structure that reduces stress and increases reliability.
Our approach
Positive, reward-based methods that motivate and engage
Individually tailored plans based on your dog’s age, breed, energy level, and temperament
Practical lessons you can apply immediately at home
Progress measured by real-world success — not just repetition in class
Who benefits
New puppy owners wanting a confident, well-mannered companion
Families integrating a rescue or adolescent dog into the home
Owners of adult dogs needing to correct behaviors or strengthen obedience before advancing
Get started Book an evaluation with Echo Dogs Training to get a personalized plan and clear next steps. Foundations done right give you a dog that’s safer, more social, and a pleasure to live with.
