How training works

Every session is private. Scott coaches you and your dog directly, so the skills stick after the program ends.

  1. Free consultation

    Tell Scott about your dog, your home, and what you want to fix. He’ll recommend where to start.

  2. Private sessions

    Eight one-on-one sessions per program, held live over video from your own home, or in person when it helps.

  3. Homework and support

    You practice between sessions, with help by text, email, or phone whenever you get stuck.

Three programs. The leash comes off by the end.

Each program builds on the one before it, from on-leash basics to advanced off-leash work around real distractions.

Obedience 1

Beginner on-leash training

This is where you and your dog build a clear line of communication. By the end, every exercise is on command, and we work through crate training and a go-to place along the way.

  • Recall
  • Follow the lure
  • Touch
  • Sit
  • Down
  • Place
  • Crate training

$900 for 8 private sessions

Obedience 2

The beginning of off-leash training

You take the skills from Obedience 1 into new situations. This is where duration starts: your dog holds positions longer, farther from you, with more going on around them.

  • Stay
  • Finish
  • Rest
  • Focused heel
  • Stand
  • Touch at a distance
  • Pull back
  • Forward

Obedience 3

Advanced off-leash training

Obedience 1 and 2 set the stage for this. You work every exercise with major distractions, more distance, and more time, and you learn to communicate with your dog without a leash.

  • Everything from 1 and 2
  • Major distractions
  • Distance work
  • Off-leash control

Problems we help with

Every program covers potty training, socialization, and the everyday habits that make life with a dog hard.

What Palm Beach County dog owners say

★★★★★

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Scott. I never in my life imagined I would have a dog that behaves as well as Yami does. We started training her when she was 10 months old, due to our busy schedules we FaceTimed with him once a week. He never even met her in person but the training we got was life changing.

We started training with Scott and Florida's Finest K9 obedience training back in October with our chihuahua mix puppy, we have since completed obedience 1 and obedience 2. Following Scott's program we have been thrilled with how obedient she now is, and is all positive reinforcement! His “train the trainer” approach has given me all the tools to successfully train my puppy and feel confident implementing the exercises myself. Scott was also available throughout the week between training sessions to give me feedback and help troubleshoot if I was having problems with my homework.

Before we started with Scott, we had sent Olivia to an away training camp. Wished we had known about Scott before that debacle. She came back skittish and didn't listen to us. Scott has turned all that around. It is so different when you are training your own dog. Yes, he will hold you accountable if you do not do your homework. We have all benefitted from his training. Scott is not only an awesome trainer, he is a genuinely nice guy that actually cares that you all learn.
