The DogSmith of Estepona Latch-Key Dog Training

While you are away from home, a DogSmith Certified Dog Trainer can visit your home daily or on an agreed schedule to train your dog!

In-Home Pet Dog Training while you are at work. 

Do you wish that an experienced trainer could take over some of the training tasks that you find confusing, overwhelming, tedious, or difficult?  Do you ever wish that someone else could just come into your home and teach your dog? Pet dog 'day training' (latch-key training) is the answer you’ve been looking for!

With day training, a trainer comes to your home and trains your dog in good manners (obedience). We can work on everything from basic manners, such as sit, down, leave-it, touch, recall, stay... to more advanced skills, such as loose leash walking. What skills we focus on will depend on the unique needs of your dog and your family.

Latch Key Training is a fantastic option for busy professionals. It takes the pressure off of you, leaving you to simply practise what we have taught, in between our sessions with your dog.

Latch Key Training is the best of both worlds:  We’ll do a transfer session with you after every 6 classes. We will teach you what your dog has learned and how to continue to maintain and strengthen those skills on your own. 

Latch Key Training is a great way to get your dog the training he/she needs, while allowing us to "lay all the foundations" for you.  We will teach your dog while you are at work, send you training plans so that you can practice between sessions and even send you video footage of some of the behaviours we have worked on.

Latch-Key Dog Training is perfect for you if:

• You work, raise a family or have other commitments but want the best training for your dog.
• You are a first-time dog or puppy owner who wants a jump start on your own training efforts.
• You would like your dog trained to a higher level than you feel equipped to achieve.

• You would love for your dog to get the stimulation of training and the added bonus of a potty break during your work day.

• Your dog needs improvement in areas such as recall, loose leash walking, settling down, stopping jumping and other impulse control behaviours.
• You can not attend a class with your dog.

We are proud to be force-free!
