I cover behavioral problems such as chewing problems, play biting, aggression towards people and/or other dogs, fear biting, hole digging, jumping on people who visit, jumping on furniture, food and/or toy possessiveness, getting into the garbage and other problems the owner might have experienced.

This course is meant for people whose dogs are trained in obedience but need to adjust their skills or address certain training problems.

Puppy Obedience (8 weeks to 4 months old): I offer comprehensive puppy training that covers obedience, socialization, leash walking, heeling, sit/stay, down stay, recall (coming when called), and personalized solutions for any specific issues your puppy may have. Our group classes are intentionally kept small, with a limit of just 6 puppies, to ensure each pup receives the individualized attention they deserve. This course spans over the course of 8 weeks.

Group Classes for 4 months and older: I provide training in leash walking, heeling, sit/stay, down stay, and recall (coming when called). Additionally, any specific issues your dog may have will be thoroughly addressed. To ensure personalized attention for each participant, our classes are limited to just 6 dogs. This comprehensive course spans 8 weeks in duration.

This is a one-on-one program.

Your dog must already know basic heeling, sit stay, down stay and a recall. Hand signals, focus work, attention exercises, off leash response, stand, sit in motion and down in motion will be taught. I will also teach (if necessary) advanced distraction work, release commands, distance work, advanced voice commands, various heeling techniques, and to come only when the owner calls them.

Your dog will be evaluated first to be sure it has the proper temperament to be able to do this work. We will discuss your goals and what titles, if any, you would desire. Training would be custom tailored to these needs.

The dog must first be evaluated to see if it has the genetics to track. Each dog progresses at its own rate depending on its genetics and capabilities. The owner will decide how much tracking they wish to learn. Some people might want a dog to track a fresh scent at a short distance. Others may want to be able to complete a 1000 pace long, one hour old track with right and left turns and article detection (dog indicates article by lying down next to the article).

The dog must first be evaluated to see if it has the genetics for this type of training. The dog must also have a sound temperament. This is to ensure that the dog will still have the ability to be a great family pet. Each dog progresses at it’s own rate depending on it’s genetics and capabilities. The dog must also be trained in obedience in order to have better control over them in any situation.
