Obedience Training | Training Tracks Canine Learning Center

Are you looking for practical dog obedience training solutions that work in your real life?

We have a variety of custom programs to meet any dog training needs. Whether you just want your dog to stop pulling on leash or you want an off-leash obedience rock start, we can make it happen.

We can train your dog for you or we can teach you to do it yourself.

Programs Where We Train Your Dog

In our most popular programs, we train your dog and then train you to maintain his new behaviors. It’s much faster and easier than doing it yourself, because both you and your dog get the ideal learning experience. Your dog learns straight from the experts, and you get to learn with a dog who is already really well-trained.

Total Immersion Board and Train Camps

Is your schedule too busy to commit to a training class at the same time every week? No time to put aside an hour every day to train your dog? Send your dog to learn to behave like a trainer’s dog.

Our one-of-a-kind Total Immersion board and train programs train your dog for real life. Your dog comes to live with 2 professional trainers like one of our own dogs. We’ll do the hard part of training your dog and establishing new behaviors in a realistic, loving, and safe home environment. When we finish, we’ll do several private lessons in your home to teach you and your family how to maintain and build on what we taught your dog.

Faster Results: We can do in 3-4 weeks what would take you 3-4 months
Less Work: Dog training means practicing every day. Let us do it for you.
Less Stress: Untrained dogs get into all kinds of trouble: chewing things up, counter surfing, jumping on guests, etc. Let us get that under control for you in a hurry so that you can enjoy life with your dog.
Peace of Mind: We provide a loving safe home environment where your pup gets constant supervision and attention. No kennels here.
Real World Results That Last: We train your dog for the situations he will encounter in real life – cooking, eating, having guests, watching TV, etc. – rather than drilling commands on a training floor. Everything we do is designed to train a delightful family pet.
Intensive Support: We train you to make sure your puppy’s training sticks

When we brought Weezer home from the shelter, he had an unfortunate habit of nipping hard enough to draw blood. This was unacceptable around my grandchildren (ages 8 months, and 4, 8 and 9 years). The nine year old lives with me, and the others visit frequently, so I called the shelter and made arrangements to return Weezer. However, I’d heard of good results with board and train, and decided to try that before giving up on Weezer. Training Tracks has been wonderful with him—no more bi… Read more

Tater was our bad little deaf rescue puppy. He barked at everything that passed our window. He pulled us down the street while he chased everything with four wheels, two legs or four paws. Tater would come home from walks with back pockets in his mouth. This was our first dog and we needed help. Training Tracks came highly recommended with special experience in training deaf dogs. They knew how to handle our special needs puppy. With only a few sessions, Tater began to respond amazingly… Read more

As a first time dog owner with a high-energy puppy, I had/have A LOT to learn – Mel has been an invaluable resource in getting both pup and owner on the right track! We did both private sessions and the Basic Obedience class and can’t wait to do another class in the future! Not only did we learn basic commands, but I was able to find a way to deal with my pup’s crazy energy that used to come out in lots of jumping/puppy nipping/attention-seeking as well as how to help teach him impulse-control (… Read more

My husband and I highly recommend Training Tracks! We initially met Jeff through a local animal shelter and then started in-home training sessions with our first dog for some behavioral problems. Both Jeff and Mel are incredible trainers and are very personable. Their positive-reinforcement approach is very rewarding for both the person and the dog. When we got our second dog we continued with basic training classes at the West Chester location and were very happy with those as well. I would rec… Read more

I adopted Dusty, a shy and anxious Shetland Sheepdog, from a local rescue shelter in Ohio. Despite his good qualities, Dusty had many behavioral problems. He was terrified of men and other dogs. In addition, he ignored many basic commands. Training Tracks played a critical role in Dusty’s development into a well-behaved companion. Using positive reinforcement and specific training techniques, Dusty quickly transformed from a frightened shelter dog to a confident and obedient companion. … Read more

As behavior consultants, Mel and Jeff Silverman have offered a service to this area that is invaluable. All new puppy examinations in my office include my suggestion that they attend puppy socialization classes. At my veterinary clinic we notice the puppies that have had this training because they are better balanced and are much more easily handled. They truly make better family members. I can be assured that those puppies that have enjoyed Mel and Jeff’s input will be much better appreci… Read more

We needed personalized, in-home training for our 2 female dogs who fought with each other and who needed to be prepared for the arrival of a baby. We got help with these issues and so much more. Through the patience and knowledge of Training Tracks’ trainers, our girls are now well behaved and play happily as ‘sisters’. And, not only did we receive in-house visits, Training Tracks was available by phone for questions in between training sessions. Thank you for changing all of our lives!
