  • 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.
  • Puppy Class
  • You will learn how to raise the perfect puppy.  
    This class not only focus's on basic puppy
    obedience, but socialization, and all the skills

  • Basic Beginner
  • I teach the basic obedience commands: sit,
    down, stay, heel, come, and leave it.  You will
    learn all of the skills needed to pass the
    AKC's Canine Good Citizen test.  I do not use
    choke collars, pinch collars, shock collars or
    heavy corrections.  You are there to TEACH
    your dog, not force him!  ALL dogs can learn
    without the use of pain as a motivator.  Click
