Behavioral training is the type of training that teaches dogs how to be well behaved around people & animals. It usually includes basic commands, with the goal transforming them into 'good' dog citizens. Typical behavioral problems like excessive barking, biting, chewing/nipping or housebreaking can be fixed with behavioral training.

Obedience training is the type of training that focuses on making dogs obedient to you through the use of commands like stay, sit, shake hand, lie down, and come. Obedience training can overlap with behavioral training techniques, but tends to be more advanced. Obedience training will usually aim to resolve behavioral concerns before they start and best started from puppy-hood.

Vocational training revolves around teaching specific job skills. Learning how to herd sheep, emergency search and rescue work, assisting the disabled, and working in various branches of law enforcement/military.
