dog Obedience training IN NAPLES
A Well-Mannered, Reliable Dog Starts Here with Naples Dog Academy
A well-trained dog brings peace, confidence, and joy to your home — and obedience training is the foundation that makes it possible. At Naples Dog Academy, we help dogs of all ages develop calm behavior, dependable manners, and reliable obedience through clear communication and positive reinforcement.
Whether you're working with an energetic adolescent dog or an adult that needs better structure, our obedience programs offer practical, real-world training that transforms daily life.
Why Obedience Training Matters
A dog that understands boundaries and expectations is happier, safer, and easier to live with. Obedience training is not just about commands — it’s about creating a calm mindset and improving your dog’s ability to focus in real-life situations.
Our training helps dogs:
- Listen the first time
- Make better choices, even with distractions
- Walk calmly on leash
- Respond to commands in and out of the home
- Develop impulse control and polite manners
Most importantly, it strengthens the bond between you and your dog.

Leash Training & Loose-Leash Walking
Many Naples dog owners struggle with pulling, lunging, and excitement outdoors. Our leash training sessions teach dogs to walk calmly, follow direction, and stay focused even in stimulating environments.
Recall Training
A strong recall can save your dog’s life. We teach a reliable “come” command through positive training, repetition, and structured challenges that improve consistency in real situations.
