Dog Training in
Tulsa, OK

Puppies can start socialization and basic obedience as early as 8 weeks old to prevent behavioral issues. Older dogs can also learn new behaviors through positive reinforcement.

Training duration depends on your dog’s age, the behaviors you're addressing, your home's consistency, and your goals. Basic obedience shows results in 4-8 weeks; complex issues like aggression may take 12-16 weeks or more. Your trainer will provide a personalized timeline and adjust it as progress is made. Ongoing training and support are important for lasting results.

Yes, we offer both group classes and private sessions. Group classes focus on socialization and basic obedience in structured settings, while private sessions address specific behavioral issues with individualized attention. Many clients combine both for the best results. Make Your Dog Epic offers a total-immersion program to quickly train misbehaving dogs into well-behaved family members.

Absolutely! We specifically designed our scheduling to accommodate busy Tulsa professionals and families. We offer flexible appointment times, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Additionally, training sessions are typically 60 minutes or less, making them easy to fit into your schedule. We also offer board-and-train programs where your dog stays with us for intensive training if your schedule is particularly demanding.

Bring your dog’s favorite high-value treats (small, soft pieces work best), a standard 6-foot leash, a properly fitted collar or harness, and a positive attitude! If your dog has any special dietary restrictions or health concerns, let us know in advance. Our trainers will guide you on everything else and may recommend specific tools based on your dog’s individual needs. Most importantly, come ready to learn alongside your dog—training is a team effort!

Training investment varies based on the program type, duration, and your dog’s specific needs. Group classes typically start around $150-250 for a multi-week series, while private sessions range from $100-200 per hour. Board-and-train programs are more comprehensive investments. We’ll discuss pricing options during your consultation and create a training plan that fits both your budget and your dog’s needs. Remember, professional training is an investment that pays dividends for years to come.
