Obedience Training for Dogs – The Foundation of a Well-Mannered Companion
Obedience training for dogs is one of the most essential investments you can make in your pet’s life. At True Connection Canine, our obedience programs cover the fundamental commands like sit, stay, come, down, and heel—while also addressing unwanted behaviors such as leash pulling, jumping, and nipping.
But we don’t stop at commands. We teach dogs how to think, not just what to do. Through consistent communication and trust-building exercises, your dog will learn to focus, listen, and respond to you under real-world conditions—at home and out in public.
Our training programs include:
- Puppy training and early socialization
- Basic obedience
- Intermediate and advanced obedience
- Behavioral modification
- Distraction training and impulse control
Meet Jennifer
Because Jennifer King CPDT-KA has enjoyed the extraordinary companionship of dogs her entire life, it isn’t surprising that she’s chosen to work with them on a daily basis. She began her professional career with dogs working at a local veterinary hospital. This sparked an interest in how to help dogs and their human guardians truly enjoy all the areas of life they share.
Jennifer’s philosophy is that whether walking, playing, or training, every interaction should be pleasant and beneficial for both you and your dog, always building on mutual trust, understanding and respect. She also feels the attitude that’s brought to the training session both by herself and the dog’s guardian is critical to its success.

Basic Manner Training
We will help you and your dog live peacefully together as part of the same happy family. The first step in this process is taking the time to meet with you, and your canine companion in your home for a consultation.
Puppy Training
Now that you’ve brought home this cute, furry, bundle of energy and joy, what next? Many people underestimate the importance of this brief time period in their dog’s life.
Behavior Consultations
Sometimes a dog comes into our life that is like no other dog we have ever met! It quickly becomes apparent that this dog, as wonderful as he is, has behavior issues that simple obedience classes won’t fix.
Day Training
The trainer comes to your home for one hour, two to five times a week to work directly with your dog. At the end of the week there is a transfer session at which time the trainer teaches you the necessary skills to maintain that training.

"I approached Jennifer for help with my highly reactive dog, who had become so reactive I was uncomfortable walking her anywhere, including in my own neighborhood. Upon meeting Jennifer, my dog sensed Jennifer’s kind soul and instantly fell in love with her. Jennifer took the time to get to know me and what my concerns were; she thoroughly evaluated Taylor’s personality in order to identify the triggers for her reactivity. After identifying the issues that needed to be corrected, Jennifer provided me with a reasonable plan of action and timeline for what we both hoped would be noticeable improvement. Taylor and I worked with Jennifer for several months and I was amazed at the the transformation in my dog and the reduction in her reactivity. We met at multiple locations to expose Taylor to new and different environments and during each training session Jennifer provided me with instructional tools and cues that built on previous concepts. This kept Taylor motivated and interested to improve and the tools/instruction Jennifer provided were also practical to use on a daily basis. Jennifer also explained how to continue with the tools we’d learned to refresh Taylor’s memory and reinforce positive behaviors. I was very pleased with the progress we made in each training session and Taylor is now a manageable dog that can be walked with confidence. I highly recommend Jennifer––she was an exceptional trainer to work with. Furthermore, I can say without reservation that Jennifer is very knowledgeable about how a dog’s mind works and was an excellent communicator with both Taylor and me. She was also quite generous about accommodating my schedule."
