Training Program Breakdowns
The difference between us and most dog training programs is customization.
we strive to customize each program you your dog's individual needs
In-Home Training Sessions
$100 an hour
People often ask me; "what happens during an in-home private training session?" If the unwanted behavior is happening in the home then sometimes the best way to address it is in the home. I start by simply observing the dog in their environment, and watching their body language. I may have you demonstrate the unwanted behavior and I will take down a thorough history from the owner. Once I observe the dog I will give suggestions and demonstrations on ways to intervene and remedy the unwanted behavior. This may take one session, it may take four sessions; it all depends on the Dog and the owner's needs. I customize how many and how long these sessions need to be based on the dog's unwanted behaviors and what the owner is looking to work on. I have a 20-mile radius limit surrounding Lexington, NC that I will travel for in-home training sessions. I simply do not want to leave the other dogs in my care at my facility for very long. Below I have a second option listed for one, one-on-one private sessions.

1-on-1 Training Sessions at S.O.O residence
$60 per/hr
It's hard to lug all of my dog training equipment from one house to another, sometimes it's easier to have my clients come to my residence where I have all of my correction tools on hand and ready. All my clients receive a warm welcome and will be greeted by my personal dog Duke (who I also use in demonstrations/during the training session if needed.) I usually start out in my large fenced-in play yard. Your dog will be able to grasp the manners and obedience training concepts without the distractions they may otherwise experience at home. I have noticed that owners/handlers are able to grasp concepts better when taken out of the everyday distractions at their homes.

Board and Train
Minimum 7 days for $700
(you may add on days for $100 a day)
I have found that it takes a minimum of 7 days for the training to sink effectively. Our board and train services are for dogs who have more severe unwanted behaviors or dogs/puppies who are in need of learning all the basics; i.e potty training, crate training, leash training, manners training, and socialization will all be incorporated into the Sounds of Obedience Board and Train curriculum. I run the S.O.O Board and Train program out of my home. I have found that training dogs in a home environment helps the training stick when transitioning back home. I call my Board and Train program "doggy boot camp." I tailor-make each Board and Train program to each individual dog. I require each dog to stay a minimum of 7 days, the owners may add on days as they feel necessary. I will ask each owner to set aside a one-hour window when picking up their dog from Board and Train. This is the free one-hour training session to go over the training I have done with the dog so that they may keep up the training at home. See the"what to expect" tab for a glimpse into a typical day in the life at sounds of Obedience Board and Train. This service is $100 a day with a seven-day minimum per dog that goes there the training program.

Just Boarding
$50 a day
Leaving for vacation soon?
Consider sounds of obedience boarding. I run the boarding services out of my home. Unlike other kennels, your dog will be staying in a home environment. Each dog gets their own individual crate and fresh bedding to sleep in at night. I only require that you bring your dog's food, collar, and leash (I provide the rest). You are allowed to bring any toys or bedding. Each dog will get hours of supervised outdoor time. I will keep up with the dog's training if requested by the owner, I will not allow them to pick up bad habits or develop anxieties. We send updated photos and videos to the owners at least once every other day or per the request of the owner. I will be happy to give you a tour of our facilities prior to dropping your dog off with us. All dogs that come through our boarding program are required to be up to date on their shots and vaccines. See the"What to expect" tab for a glimpse into a typical day in the life at Sounds of Obedience Boarding. Call/text me (Certified dog trainer Jacob Medlin) @ (704)-450-7862 to book an appointment today. I can't wait to have your dog in my home. call or click today!

Save and train program
adoption fees are custom to each dog
(This program is on hold as we just moved facilities from Statesville NC to Lexington NC. and are working on building a new kennel. Once we have built the new Kennle we will have the room to start up this program again and fully intend to continue passionatly saving as many dogs as we can.)
I worked at an animal shelter for years, I saw so many dogs get adopted, and then get brought right back to the shelter due to bad behavior. Most of these dogs were found as strays and have never stepped foot in a house. These dogs are not housebroken; most have abandonment issues to the point that they go crazy and tear up the house any time you leave the house because they don't know if you are coming back. I am on a mission to change that. I adopt dogs from local shelters and I provide them with basic obedience training, house training, leash training, and manners training. They are taken on car rides and socialized by taking them to dog-friendly stores and parks. I introduce them to a home environment, and they are taught basic commands so that they are 100% ready to find their forever home. We do the work, you enjoy your new best friend. The adoption fees are tailor-priced to each dog based on how much money I have put into the dog for feeding and basic vet care. The price is also customized to each dog based on how much training the dog requires. Often dogs with darker pasts have more unwanted behaviors and have to stay in the save and train program a little longer than others before they are ready to be adopted out to their forever homes. If you are interested in adopting from the Sounds of Obedience save and train program please feel free to check out our "adoption" page or text/call me anytime.
