Dog Training

In- Home Consultations (approx. 2 - 4 hours)

I will come to your home for a private one-on-one lessons, where I can
meet with you and your dog acts naturally.

It is important for all family members who interact with your dog on a daily basis to be present. Although young children do not have to be present.

The length of the session varies from two to 4 hours depending on your pet and families needs. I will stay until everyone feels confident with the lesson. By allowing enough time to talk about your concerns, this allows me to observe what is going on with your dog in their home environment.

This method works with your dog’s personality and gently, allows for changing their reaction in the environment that is causing them to be reactive or have other bad behaviors.

The lesson is about helping your dog to become successful and by asking your dog to become willing to cooperate, because they want to. I will be teaching and demonstrating the key components of Positive Dog Training.

Together with you and your dog, I will provide a training/behavior shaping plan to be followed after the lesson, for each member of your dog’s family. Because each dog is different, it is important to write a plan for each dog within your family, keeping in mind how every dog in your pack has its place in relationship to its owner/the leader and provider.

Life long support is an important part of the consultation, which means I will be on hand to help when needed. It is normal over the early period of training your dog will “ask” by challenging the new hierarchy. The essential thing for long-term success is for you to remain patience and consistent as your dog’s leader. There are no quick fixes: the longer a bad behavior has been allowed to go on, the longer it is going to take to remodel it. I will be there for you, offering support and guidance, every step of the way, as you build a lasting bond of communication with your dog.

Please be aware that illness affects your dog’s behavior, Sometimes very badly.  This is why it is important to visit with your dog’s veterinarian, especially if you have seen or been experiencing any sudden changes in behaviors.
