For Puppies:
Puppies can begin to learn basics as young as 8 weeks. The sooner you get started, the less likely your puppy will develop bad habits, and the easier it will be for you to teach him to grow into a great pet. We cover how to set up the puppy's environment and schedule to help him learn faster. We also deal with housetraining, play biting and nipping, chewing, and other normal puppy behaviors, as well as teach him to begin to focus on you and to obey basic commands such as "Sit", "Come", "Leave It", walking nicely on leash and so on.

For Young Dogs:
At about 6 or 7 months old, puppies begin to assert new feelings of independence, like teenagers. Often this results in problems in the home - the puppy begins to ignore you, and he is bigger and stronger and can get into more trouble. We teach these youngsters how to focus and develop the self-control they need to stop problem behaviors like jumping on people, grabbing things, ignoring commands, pulling on leash - as well as teach the primary commands that all dogs need to know, like "Sit", "Down", "Come", "Leave It", "Drop It", "Go To Mat", "Stay", and much more.

For Older Dogs:
Whether you've just adopted an older dog who has some behavior problems, or you've had your dog for a while but haven't done much training with him, he will become a better pet as he learns to listen, to be calmer, to understand that you are in charge of his life, and to learn and improve his responses to basic commands. Focus is on specific skills that you need worked on.

Unlike group lessons, filled with distractions that
keep your dog stressed and unable to focus, in-home
lessons allow you to work in a calm, familiar
environment for your dog.

Your lessons are completely about you and your dog,
so you can make the most of what is covered, get
your own issues addressed, and ask as many
questions as you like.

Your dog can relax and learn, and you get one-on-one personalized attention to your needs instead of a cookie-cutter program.

I come to your home and teach you to train your dog. Your whole family should be involved in the training, to learn to control the dog and build a terrific relationship in the process. We work together to create a program to get you where you want to be with your dog. Along the way you'll discover how dogs learn, what motivates your specific dog, the importance of management and consistency, and how to form a two-way communication with your dog.

Your training program includes:
  Customized training plan designed specifically for you and your dog
  Flexible scheduling according to your needs
  Gentle, no force methods to improve your dog's behavior
  Focus on relationship building and trust
  Working on what matters most to you
  Emphasis on easily fitting training into your lifestyle
  Written materials to help you remember what we covered
  Specific lessons to work on with your dog between sessions
  Phone and email help between sessions

My goals include making training fun for both you and your dog, teaching you to solve problem behaviors so that you will have a better bond with your dog, and helping your dog to discover the joy of using his intelligence to work out solutions to the training puzzles he has to solve.

So please call me, and we can talk about your dog and what you need to accomplish with training. If you wish, we can then set up a training plan specifically designed for you and your dog.

I look forward to meeting you both!
