Learn With Our Certified, Experienced Dog Behavior Consultant
We Give You A Customized Training Framework
We’ve been in your shoes! We understand how heartbreaking it feels to not know how to help your dog and to not see the progress you’re expecting. How sad it is when no one else gets to see how sweet your dog can be. How heartbreaking each reaction and snap feels. How confusing it feels to have done everything ‘right’ and still have a fearful or aggressive dog or a dog that can’t seem to settle down!
We’ve been there both personally with our dogs that have had behavioral problems and professionally as we’ve helped hundreds of families learn to understand and work with their dog, not fight against them.
We provide you with the best dog training and behavior modification to fit your lifestyle so your pup grows into a confident, secure, happy dog via our positive reinforcement, reward based training methodology and our variety of in-home dog training services!
Dogs Learn Best With Positive Reinforcement Training!
You do NOT have to hurt or intimidate your dog to train them (yes, even if they’re aggressive & have bitten!)
- We train for long term progress rather than short term behavior suppression!
- We use your dog’s food, treats, toys, play, sniffing, and more as rewards while we train
By training using reward based methods, your dog will gain the confidence and practice they need to enjoy working with you!
Our Approach Is Based On Compassion and Understanding
Our certified dog behavior consultant teaches you & your dog to communicate, work together, & make choices that enhance both of your lives’.
Our approach combines knowledge of why a dog’s behavior is occurring, management to ensure they stop practicing the behavior, training games to teach them what we want them to do, and more in order to help you and your dog progress toward your goals!
We give you the knowledge to both understand and help your dog.
Training for Puppies, Adolescents, Adults, And Senior Dogs Of Any Breed & Background!
We have experience working and training with a variety of dog breeds and mixes (from shepherds to hounds and everything in between!). In addition, we’ve worked with dogs of all ages and with dogs from a variety of backgrounds (from rescue dogs, to dogs from responsible breeders, to former mill dogs).
From fearful dogs that shut down or have trouble around your home, neighborhood, vet, or groomer, to aggressive dogs that guard food, toys, people, etc., to new puppies that are just learning that the world is a fun, safe place to be, we have a dog training service or package that will fit your dog’s unique training needs.
