Whether you’re searching for puppy training near me or reliable obedience classes, our positive, structured approach delivers lasting results.

• Customized Training for Every Dog: We understand that each dog is unique. That’s why our West Edmonton dog training programs are tailored to your pup’s temperament, energy level, and individual needs. From basic obedience to correcting unwanted behaviours like jumping, pulling, or barking, we focus on solutions that work in everyday life.

• Puppy Training: Start your new best friend off on the right paw! Our puppy training in Edmonton covers, loose leash walking, and early socialization, setting the foundation for a lifetime of good behaviour.

• Obedience & Manners: We teach essential commands like sit, stay, down, come, and heel, while also improving impulse control and polite interactions with people and other dogs.

• Behaviour Support: Does your dog struggle with shyness, excitability, or confidence around other dogs? Our trainers use structured play and consistent guidance to help your pup feel secure and well-balanced.

 

At The Urban Dog, we go beyond the basics to help you raise a well-mannered, happy, and confident companion. If you’re looking for dog training near you in Edmonton, we’re here to guide both you and your pup every step of the way.
