Professional Dog Obedience Training in Central Indiana
At Riley Kennel & Farm in Bainbridge, Indiana, we offer professional dog obedience training and two-week board-and-train programs for families throughout Central Indiana, including Indianapolis, Greencastle, Danville, Crawfordsville, and Terre Haute.
Our leadership-based approach focuses on real-world obedience, better leash manners, reliable commands, and clear communication between dogs and their owners. Choose from private one-on-one lessons or our immersive board-and-train program designed to build lasting skills for everyday life.
Our Leadership-Based Dog Training Approach
Just like our renowned Reactivity Reset Program, our approach to general obedience is rooted in leadership and structure, not endless treats or repetitive drills. We teach you how to communicate with your dog in a way they understand, establishing you as a confident and trustworthy leader. The result is a dog that listens not because they have to, but because they want to.
Our trainers focus on:
• Leash Manners: Enjoying a calm, loose-leash walk without pulling, sniffing, or reacting to distractions.
• Household Manners: Eliminating jumping, counter-surfing, and nuisance barking.
• Place Command: Teaching your dog to go to a designated spot and stay there until released, a game-changer for household management.

What our Dog Training Clients Say
- Jessica M., Danville Indiana
"We were at our wit's end with our reactive German Shepherd Sarge. After the Reactivity Reset 1-on1 program, we now enjoy peaceful walks and park play dates. Our confidence in our fur missile has grown so much. It's not an exaggeration to say this has changed our entire family."
- Paul W., Terre Haute
ZD came from an abusive home and was destroying everything. We had Cliff and Lindsey work with her for several weeks. I am amazed at what they have done with her, how well she follows instructions, and her overall confidence. We still have work to do but with their help and guidance I have no doubt ZD will become the dog we had hoped for. Can't thank Riley Kennel & Farm enough, they are definitely "dog" people.
- Amanda & Chris L., Lafayette
Our rescue dog Levi was so anxious and reactive we couldn't take her anywhere. I had tried everything - treats, prong collars, other trainers. Nothing worked until we found Riley Kennel & Farm. Their help in coaching made all the difference. My dog is calmer, and I finally feel confident walking our furry friend in public.
