Professional Training Services

From treadmill exercise training to advanced obedience and behavioral modification, we offer comprehensive training solutions tailored to your dog's unique needs.

#1

Behavioral Problems

Ramella's Canine Academy specializes in modifying and managing the behavior of particular dogs, with emphasis on problems such as aggression, separation anxiety, fears, timidity, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Treadmill Training

A dog needs adequate exercise to prevent unwanted behaviors such as barking, digging, fearful behavior, aggression, or separation anxiety. Treadmill training provides a safe, effective exercise option in the comfort of your home—fulfilling your pet's needs both mentally and physically. Running for 20 minutes equates to a 2-hour walk! Even with a backyard, treadmill exercise is an excellent fitness plan.

Person and Pet Match

Are you considering rescuing or purchasing a dog? What's often overlooked is: will this be the right pet for your family dynamic? Emotions can take over, leading to honorable intentions but potentially the wrong dog for the wrong family at the wrong time. As a certified Master Dog Trainer and Rehabilitator, I remove the guessing game. I'll meet with your family, learn YOUR intentions, and work patiently to locate the right pet for you—then continue our journey setting the foundation for proper assimilation, training, bonding, and many blissful years of companionship.

Basic Obedience Training

Our most requested service! This 5-week course meets once per week at your home. Learn essential commands: Heel, Automatic Sit, Stay, Down, and Come. We'll also address housebreaking, separation anxiety, destructive behavior, excessive barking, and more. One-on-One or Boardwalk Training options available.

Advanced Obedience

Basic Obedience is a prerequisite. Advanced obedience graduates will demonstrate the same commands (Heel, Automatic Sit, Stay, Down, Come) but off-leash and with hand signals in lieu of verbal commands. Take your dog's training to the next level!

Puppy Orientation

Just purchased or adopted a dog? Start off on the right track! We'll address housebreaking, socializing, manners, bonding, and questions specific to your family and breed. Design a wish-list based on your lifestyle and we'll address it point by point. Ideal for first-time owners or those getting acquainted with a new breed.

Puppy & Baby Orientation

Bringing home a new baby or infant? This course focuses on families who want to know how to properly introduce their newborn into a dog-friendly environment. Ensure a safe, harmonious transition for your growing family.

Housebreaking

We'll train your dog to urinate and defecate outdoors, or in a designated indoor area, rather than inside the house. We take into account your lifestyle, work schedule, and individual needs for effective, lasting results.

Therapy Dog Training & TDI Certification

If your dog is friendly, patient, confident, gentle, and at ease in all situations, they more than likely qualify for Therapy Dog Certification. This is a great way to bond with your dog and give back to the community through Therapy Dogs International (TDI) certification.
