Learn from our experienced trainers
from the convenience of your own home.

Snake River Canine is now offering Tele-Training and Online Coaching options for people who want to learn more about our training methods or have purchased a puppy from us and would like to continue working with our trainers. Training sessions are generally set up on a weekly recall and usually last around an hour. We make specific recommendations for you and your dog to help with puppy raising and training as well as behavior issues. The cost for the training sessions are $65/session or 5 sessions for the price of 4 ($260) when purchased in advance. Contact us to learn more about this process and to set up an appointment. 

Training tools we generally recommend

Below are products we generally recommend to clients. Keep in mind that we may recommend different training tools to different people as every dog is different and training needs and preferences differ from person to person. This is just a general list.

Training Leash

We recommend a slip style lead with stoppers on both sides of the sliding ring for dog neck safety and client comfort. Not all dogs and clients are ready for this kind of training lead and it is very specific in its use and can easily be used inappropriately. We strongly recommend setting up a private lesson with us to learn how to use this type of training lead. 

Training Clicker

Training clickers are not a required training tool but can help speed up the training process. We do however incorporate positive and corrective verbal cues into our training and if a clicker is not used, we can show you how to utilize a verbal cue in the same way.

Training Treats

We recommend only high- quality training treats like these. Training treats should be nutritionally dense without fillers. We like freeze dried small sized treats. If you are doing a long training session your dog could fill up on treats and be too full to eat their regular meal. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies an is more of an issue when you are doing longer training sessions or have a smaller dog.

Training Bed

Raised pet beds are nearly indispensable for a variety of training objectives. A raised pet bed can help train a solid stay (including a long-stay - 15 minutes or more) as well as help overcome some behavior issues your dog may be having. It creates a safe space for your dog to hang out while learning patience and self control.
