- In-home consultations for behavior problems
- I will come out to your home and teach you how to
teach your dog. Behavior problems are usually not fixed in one training session, therefore you need to know what to do when the problem arises and I am not there!
- I do not require you to sign up for any number of
visits or sessions- there are no contracts for you to fulfill. Every dog, as every person, is an individual- there is no way for me to know how many times I will need to visit with you to fix any particular problem. Every person teaches a bit different, and every dog has his own individual learning curve. Most behavior problems take one visit for me to give you enough information for you to work with- but I am ALWAYS available on the phone or to come do a follow up visit.
- Dog Aggression Socialization
- I have a play-group that meets 2 days per week that
allows for dogs that have trouble being around other dogs to socialize and learn how to 'be a dog.' This requires an in-home consultation for you to learn how to handle your dog when you see other dogs, and an assessment of your dog with other dogs.
I have been teaching obedience since 1995- there is something to be said for all of those years of hands on experience.
- In-home private obedience lessons
I will come out to your home and teach any or all of the basic the obedience commands: sit, down, stay, come, heel, and leave it. Although private lessons are convenient, they do not teach your dog to learn in new environments, or with the distractions that a group class has to offer. I usually recommend that if you choose private lessons, that you take a group class in addition.
- You will learn how to raise the perfect puppy.
