Puppies and adult dogs can benefit greatly from dog training at Wheeling Animal Hospital. Many owners struggle with teaching their dog good behaviors and basic commands, like sit, stay and heel, and preventing unwanted behaviors, like begging for table scraps and laying on the furniture. Our practice offers private lessons and basic obedience training services so that you and your dog can learn and grow together.

Positive Reinforcement Dog Training
Wheeling Animal Hospital utilizes rewards-based dog training. This type of training is great for all ages, breeds and sizes of dogs because it rewards your dog every time he or she does something correctly. For example, if you tell your dog to sit and he or she sits, you then mark the behavior and reward your pup with praise and affection and/or give them a treat, which reinforces the behavior and helps with long-term consistency. This type of training can help with correcting unwanted behaviors and instilling obedience so that you can reach your training goals.
