Professional Dog Training Classes in Riverton, South Jordan & the Salt Lake Valley

Build a lifetime bond with your dog through natural canine psychology at our Riverton facility.

At Live Oak Dog Obedience Utah, we don’t just teach your dog how to sit and stay—we coach you on how to successfully communicate in their language. Led by seasoned canine behavior specialist Jan Perkins, who has been studying dog psychology and helping families since 1978, our unique approach mirrors the natural boundary-setting methods that dogs naturally use with each other. By teaching you to understand your dog’s body language and look at the world through a canine lens, we create a game-changing partnership built on mutual respect and relationship-focused manners, rather than a reliance on treats or strict force.

We believe that a well-behaved dog is a calm, happy dog who can confidently join you anywhere in public. To give you and your furry friend the individualized guidance you both deserve, our indoor and outdoor classes at our Riverton facility are intentionally kept small. This structure ensures hands-on coaching whether you are learning essential household boundaries in Puppy 1st Time Obedience, developing total off-leash focus in Advanced Training, or exploring high-energy activities like Agility, Scent work, and vital regional safety courses like Rattlesnake Avoidance.

True obedience requires consistency, which is why our program adapts to your schedule and the changing Utah seasons. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to attend multiple small group sessions per week, moving seamlessly between our climate-controlled indoor training arena during the winter and outdoor spaces when the weather allows. From fixing frustrating habits that stress your household to coaching you through a complete lifetime training journey, we provide the real-world tools you need for a harmonious home.
