We offer training for puppies as well as older dogs. Our proven training methods will get quick results for you and your dog. We offer puppy training, basic on-leash training as well as advanced off-leash training. We help you take your dog through all phases of training to ensure that their performance and behavior is reliable in distracting, real world, environments. Our goal is not only to train dogs, but to also educate owners on proper methods of training and continued reinforcement to ensure that training and good behaviors are maintained for the life of the dog. We also offer training and evaluations for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test.

Private lessons are designed for clients who do not have the time to attend classes consistently each week. Our private lesson programs bring the class to you. These classes can be conducted in your home, at a nearby park, or a location of your choosing. This training is usually done in the home to teach the dog to respond in the environment that he naturally lives in. We offer a number of different courses in private lesson format from puppy training, basic obedience, and even off-leash obedience. Private lessons meet once per week for about an hour and are designed to teach the owner how to train their dog(s). We offer affordable options and can work with your schedule to ensure that both you and your dog get the most of the training program. We also offer custom programs and work with multiple dog households.

Our In-Home training is designed for that dog owner with a busy lifestyle. Our In home dog training programs are designed to train your dog in you home in as little as three-weeks. This package can also teach puppy training, basic, on-leash training as well as advanced, off-leash training. With our in home training our trainer comes to your home several times per week and spends several hours training your dog and resolving problem behaviors in your home. This training can be done as you observe or while you are at work, at school or even on vacation! Whether you are present for the training or not, we will work one-on-one with you at the end of the training to ensure that you are comfortable maintaining your dogs’ behaviors and reinforcing the commands that they have learned. This training is great because your dog learns in an environment where he/she is comfortable and any problem behaviors can be corrected where they occur.

Our Metro Atlanta trainers also offer dog training group classes that are a great way to learn how to train your dog in an environment that is established to allow for ideal opportunities for socialization with new people, dogs and a new environment. Our group classes meet weekly and are designed to teach you how to train your dog in obedience and to learn how to manage problematic dog behaviors. With our group dog training classes we offer, puppy class, basic obedience training, off-leash obedience training and behavior modification programs.

We also provide dog behavior modification training to help dog owners solve problems such as: jumping on people, pulling on the leash, biting, nipping, fears, growling, guarding, dominance, phobias, territorial aggression, fighting and more! We specialize in dog behavior problems and successfully rehabilitate dogs that many other trainers refuse to work with. We also deal with what are considered difficult and hard to train dogs or breeds. Highland Canine Training has a proven reputation of rehabilitating problem behaviors. Our experience with "common" and unusual behavioral problems allows us the ability to work with frustrated dog owners with the confidence that we can make a difference and allow them to develop a lasting, rewarding relationship with their once problem dog!
