Dog Training Lesson: What We Can Teach Your Dog

Essential Commands

  • Sit / Down – Keeps your dog calm during photos, the ceremony, or while waiting their turn.
     

  • Stay / Wait – Prevents your dog from wandering when you need them to hold a position.
     

  • Come (Recall) – Ensures your dog returns to you quickly and safely, even in a busy venue.
     

  • Heel / Walk Nicely – Teaches your dog to walk politely down the aisle without pulling.
     

  • Leave It – Stops your dog from grabbing flowers, food, or décor.
     

  • Place / Mat Training – Helps your dog relax in a designated spot during dinner or the reception.
     

Bonus Skills for Weddings

  • Photo Poses – Sitting, lying down, or staying next to the bride/groom for perfect pictures.
     

  • Greeting Manners – Staying calm and polite when meeting guests.
     

  • Quiet Command – Helpful in case your dog feels like barking during speeches or vows.
     

Why Start Early?

We recommend beginning training several months before your wedding so your dog is comfortable and reliable with their cues, even around big distractions.

Wedding Dog Handler – FAQ

What does a Wedding Dog Handler do?

A Wedding Dog Handler makes it possible for your dog to be part of your special day — without you, your bridal party, or your guests having to worry. We handle everything from potty breaks to walking your dog down the aisle and making sure they’re calm and happy for photos.

 

What services are included?

Our handler packages typically include:

  • Potty breaks and exercise before the ceremony

  • Handling during the ceremony, photos, and reception

  • Supervision and care throughout the event

Every wedding is unique — we’ll create a custom plan that works for you and your dog.

 

Does my dog need training before the wedding?

Not always — but we strongly recommend at least one wedding prep lesson beforehand. This helps your dog learn key skills such as walking nicely down the aisle, sitting calmly for photos, and greeting guests politely.

What if my dog gets nervous around crowds?

Every dog is different. If your dog is shy or anxious, we’ll make adjustments to set them up for success — whether that means a smaller role in the ceremony, limited time at the reception, or extra prep lessons to build confidence.

 

Do you provide supplies?

No. All supplies (leash, collar/harness, water bowl, food/treats, clean-up items, etc.) must be provided by the owner. We’ll happily use whatever your dog is most comfortable with on the day of the wedding.

 

What happens after the wedding?

We’ll follow your plan — whether that’s handing your dog back to a family member, sitter, or escorting them home (depending on the package you choose).
