Virtual Dog Training Lessons
Need help training your dog but, don’t live in Southern Maryland? Get expert help with one of Best Buddy Dog Trainer’s Certified Dog Trainers, LIVE via Zoom or Facetime.
Using positive, force-free, and science-based methods, we guide you step-by-step through effective strategies tailored to your dog’s unique needs. No shock collars, prong collars, or harsh techniques-just proven solutions that work, even for dogs with multiple or severe behavior problems.
You’ll receive an individualized training plan, live coaching where we meet with you weekly and train with you 1-on-1. We coach you as you train with your dog and you can expect the same results as one of our in-home students.
You’ll have ongoing support outside of class with video resources, emails and text so you can make progress between sessions. If you want lasting change and a happier life with your dog, our virtual program is designed for you.
Virtual Dog Training Curriculum
- Getting Started: We start with learning the clicker, establishing foundation 3-5 foundation behaviors that will set you up for success with training.
- Dog Obedience Training: 10+ behaviors including "Name", “Sit”, “Stay”, “Leave it”, “4 Recalls”, “Drop it”, “Targeting”, “Fetch”, “Up & Off”, “Place". Our Certified trainers have the knowledge and skills to teach you dozens of different behaviors.
- Leash Training: We teach 8+ behaviors that allow you to have a calm walk where your dog doesn't pull, walks when you walk, stops when you stop and focuses on you. This is all achievable via Virtual Dog Training Lessons. (May require a tripod or a helper to hold your phone during our lesson)
- Problem Behaviors: We can teach you how to stop jumping, barking, resource guarding, aggression, biting, and more via virtual dog training.
- After your lesson your trainer will send you a training plan with homework to do and private videos that show the behaviors you worked on in class.
Virtual Dog Training Class Details
- Duration: Each class lasts for 1 hour.
- We are truly fear-free positive reinforcement dog trainers so we do not allow any of these tools in class: No prong collar, No shock collars, No martingale collars, No slip leads or choke chains and No horse whips! We also ask that you do not hit, scream, knee, pinch, or punch your dogs in our class or ever.
- Equipment/Food Needed: You will need 1 clicker, 1 treat pouch, a regular leash, and a regular collar or harness. Please find a few types of treats your dog loves and use that in class.
- Virtual Dog Training Service Area: We train virtually with dog owners nationwide and even worldwide. If you have a phone and a tripod to hold it or a helper to hold it while you train then it doesn't matter where you live. English is the only language I know so you must speak English to train with us.
- Please do not feed your dog before our virtual dog training lesson. Doing so could result in stomach issues or it could cause your dog to want to play more than train.
