DOG TRAINING NEAR
POUGHKEEPSIE.

Start with an evaluation

Whether you are raising a puppy, working on everyday obedience, or facing a behavior challenge, we start by getting to know your dog and your goals. Evaluations cost $85 and typically take 30–45 minutes at our East Fishkill training center.

Poughkeepsie owners can work with World Canine on puppy development, leash skills, obedience, and difficult behavior. At the evaluation, Chris learns what is happening in your daily routine and how your dog responds in person before recommending a training path.

Private coaching for you and your dog

If you are comparing dog training in Poughkeepsie, consider how you want to participate. At World Canine, you attend private lessons with your dog and Chris. You practice handling and communication during the session, then use those skills between visits.

Our training center is at 8 Barrett Drive, Hopewell Junction, in East Fishkill. We do not have a Poughkeepsie location or provide in-home lessons. Check the journey from your own address before choosing a weekly program.

Choose a starting point

• Puppy development: foundations for young puppies, with advanced puppy training available as they develop.
• Private obedience lessons: leash handling, recall and everyday skills you practice together.
