Dog & Puppy Obedience Training by Conifer Canine

Our certified, experienced, and professional dog obedience training leads to reliable results. Tired of being pulled along by a rambunctious dog? Done being scratched by a jumping dog? Using only humane and motivational techniques in our training, we work with the dog – not against him. Dogs respond well to our balanced, reward-based training, seeing their instruction as an enjoyable opportunity rather than bondage. We have many beautiful success stories which authenticate what we do!

About Dog & Puppy Obedience Training by Conifer Canine

Private Dog Obedience Lessons

These lessons are held at our Spencer, Indiana facility, are approximately half hour in length, and can deal with the particular issues your dog is offering, and/or basic to advanced obedience. This course requires a great deal of commitment by the client in order to complete the desired goals. We will coach the client with training techniques that need to be done with the dog. The client then needs to return home and train the dog until the next appointment. Weekly appointments seem to work best in the private lessons.

$40 for approx. half hour session, due at each session. DUE TO LOW STAFFING, WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT OFFERING PRIVATE LESSONS. SORRY.

Puppy Pre-School with Obedience Training

These lessons are designed for the puppy that is 8-16 weeks of age. They are held weekly at our Spencer, Indiana facility. These lessons deal with house-training, nipping, other puppy issues, and very basic obedience training. Sessions are approximately half hour in length. There are no refunds for missed appointments. Cost is $280.

In-Kennel Training

This is by far our most popular dog obedience training option. In these courses, your dog stays at our facility and is trained by our certified trainers. The dogs are given individual runs in our climate-controlled kennel, several training sessions a day, as well as several exercise and play times. Healthy interaction with other social dogs is a part of their day as well. We keep you informed with your dog’s progress by weekly email updates. When the dog is picked up, we will show you what the dog has learned and send you home with a packet of information regarding the training. After the dog is taken home, clients are responsible to maintain the training the dog has received (the aforementioned packet will help with this). Results of training are enhanced when all members of the household are involved and “on the same page.” Free follow-up is included. We offer both Basic on-leash training and Advanced off-leash training. The in-kennel training can begin any time your and our schedules can get together. A deposit of half the training price is due when the dog is dropped off; the balance is due at the time the dog is picked up. In-kennel training is available at our location near Spencer, IN.

What do you need to bring to your in-kennel training appointment?

Bring a copy of your dog’s shot records for us to keep on file. He/she will need to be current on at least rabies, the distemper booster, and Bordetella (kennel cough). If you would like us to administer flea and/or heart-worm prevention during the stay, please bring those preventatives with you and let us know the date you want it administered.
Bring enough food for the length of the stay. At check-in, we will ask you how much and how often you are feeding your dog.
A deposit of half the training price. The balance will be due when the dog is finished. We accept cash, check, credit/debit card.
You MAY bring a doggie bed, toys, or items to make your dog feel more at home. These are not required.

Please note: Our Spencer, Indiana facility is located at 717 Beaver Hollow Rd. From SR 231/67, turn west onto Coon Path Rd. Go almost a mile and turn right onto Beaver Hollow (the road sign is currently down after a car accident). Look for a row of mailboxes. Once on Beaver Hollow, Conifer Canine will be one-half mile on the left. We are a total of only 1 1/2 miles off of SR 231/67. Upon arrival, follow the signs to the Office.

Academy: Basic on-leash Training (in-kennel)

Basic on-leash Training is a three week board-and-train for $650. The Academy includes one-on-one training with you when you pick up the dog. Lessons include the Heel, loose leash walking, Sit, Down, Off, Stay, and the Recall. Keep in mind that on-leash training does not mean you can expect the dog to obey when off leash; off-leash training is a separate, advanced skill. We will also work with behavioral issues the dog shows us while it is here (such as jumping, nipping) to help produce a mannerful individual. We keep you informed with your dog’s progress by weekly email updates. Additional charges will apply for treating aggression issues (as some forms of aggression will take longer than three weeks to re-condition). Dogs will need to be at least four months old to be enrolled in the Academy. The Academy comes with the training materials you will need to maintain your dog’s training once he/she returns home.

Boot Camp: Advanced off-leash Training (in-kennel)

is a three week board-and-train course for $950. Dogs must complete the Academy before moving forward into the Boot Camp. Lessons include the Heel, loose leash walking, Sit, Down, Off, Stay, and the Recall – all of these completely off leash. We will also work with behavioral issues the dog shows us while it is here (such as jumping, nipping) to help produce a mannered individual. We keep you informed with your dog’s progress by weekly email updates. Be advised that timid dogs typically do not do well in advanced off-leash training. Additional charges will apply for treating aggression issues (as some forms of aggression will take longer than three weeks to re-condition). The Boot Camp includes one-on-one training with the client when the dog is picked up. The dog must be at least 6 months old. The Boot Camp comes with all the training materials you will need to maintain your dog’s training once he/she returns home, as well as a packet of information you can refer to as needed. Free follow up is included as well.

Flex Package: Basic and Advanced Training (in-kennel)

Basic and Advanced Training is a six week board-and-train course for $1500. It includes both the Academy and Boot Camp (both on-leash and off-leash training; see above) as well as one-on-one training with you when you pick up the dog. Weekly updates via email are given to the client during the dog’s stay with us. The dog will need to be at least 6 months old to become enrolled in the Flex package. Be advised that timid dogs typically do not do well in advanced off-leash training. Additional charges will apply for treating aggression issues (as some forms of aggression will take longer than six weeks to re-condition). The Flex includes the training materials you will need to maintain the dog’s training once he/she returns home. Some clients find it helpful to get their dog trained while they are on a vacation, which tends to save boarding fees etc.
