Basic Obedience for Real-World Reliability
Build everyday manners and clear communication—sit, down, place, heel, recall, and calm leash skills—proofed around people, doors, mealtimes, and distractions.

Basic obedience is more than a checklist of cues—it’s dependable behavior anywhere you go. We cover sit, down, stay, place, heel, and recall, then layer in neutrality to people and dogs, leash manners that prevent pulling, door and food etiquette, and the ability to settle on cue. The goal is a calm, responsive companion who understands what you’re asking the first time.
We use science-led, marker-based training to create clarity and confidence: reward the right choices, prevent rehearsing the wrong ones, and add fair accountability only as needed. Skills are taught, proofed, and generalized across real-world environments so your dog can perform at home, on walks, and in public. You’ll get simple homework, handling pointers, and a progression plan so results stick with you—not just your trainer.
Expect loose-leash walks, reliable recalls, polite greetings, and the ability to relax on place when life is busy. Communication becomes cleaner, frustration drops, and daily routines feel easier. The result isn’t perfection in a training hall—it’s a dog you can trust in everyday life.
Working with Jordan was an absolute pleasure. I knew May was in the best hands throughout her board and train. Jordan was extremely flexible in working with both my partner and myself to teach us both how to communicate with May to maintain her training.
After returning home, Coco has so much more confidence and control on walks and in public -- and Jordan trained us how to effectively use tools to reward and maintain that behavior. Even weeks after Coco returned home, I'm continually impressed at how differently she behaves during walks. Highly recommend Jordan and Mantra K9 for anyone looking to improve their relationship and communication with their dog(s)!
Jordan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and really understands each dog’s unique personality. She is attentive and thorough in her training approach, which proved to be both practical and extremely effective.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience we had with Jordan and her team at Mantra K9. Our Weimaraner, Zeke, completed their 6-week board and train program, and the results have been incredible.
Jordan is beyond talented. She worked with our two loves: Shakira (1 year & 10 months Husky) and Beyonce (1 year & 3 months German Shepherd). She helped us with a number of behavior issues: walking the girls on a leash without them pulling on the leash; Beyonce's high anxiety levels; out of control playing and barking at each other.Jordan taught us how to work with our girls and have a healthier routine for them.
