Dog Training
Training in your own home allows for total attention to
you and your dog. We work on specific issues that
you want to focus on from learning basic commands
to dealing with issues of chewing, excessive barking,
and pulling on walks. Everything is learned from a
certified dog trainer at very reasonable rates.
Learning basic commands such as sit, stay, leave it,
come, down, wait, stay, and to your place can be
learned in as little as 2-3 sessions. Loose leash
walking so your dog is not pulling you down the
sidewalk can be learned in as little as 4 sessions.

Training Tips
Can you teach my dog
not to be reactive to
people and other dogs ?
Yes, your dog can learn to
walk by other dogs and/or
people without being a
"fiesty fido". Many times
dogs are truly fearful of
others and go on offense
to put on a good defense.
Your dog can actually
learn that other people
and dogs are good and
start to enjoy being
around them.
My dog barks constantly,
is there anything I can
do?
Dogs bark for several
different reasons. We can
figure out why your dog is
barking and teach him to
stop on command.
Can you stop my dog
from pulling when we
walk?
Yes. Dogs do not
naturally walk in straight
lines without sniffing the
ground. We can teach
them the behavior of
walking nicely with their
human companion.
Can you stop my dog
from barking and
jumping on guests when
they come to the house?
Yes, this behavior can be
changed into your dog
sitting in a planned place
and not moving until you
tell him to. The dog has
learned that the doorbell
ringing means to run to
the door and jump on
people. He needs to
relearn acceptable
behavior required by his
human companions.
My dog is afraid of
everything including
people and other dogs,
can anything be done?
Yes, your dog can learn
that other dogs and
people are good "things".
A positive experience
needs to be paired up
with the negative
experience, in this case
dogs and/or people, in
order to have your dog
become more
comfortable. We will show
you how this is done.
