Services offered

Foundation Behaviors, Dog Communication Skills, Children/puppy Interaction, Canine good manners in the home, Adult's First Dog Training, Freestyle, and Teaching Clicker Training to Trainers.

In-home classes are individualized. As the handler/dog team achieve each behavior the criteria is raised to a more advanced level. Within one lesson, the dog can go from simple to complex exercises. We progress as fast as the handler/dog team can go which is fun for the handler and keeps the dog focused. After each lesson, an assessment of both the trainer and dog is e-mailed or snail mailed which also includes objectives for the next lesson.

A big advantage of in-home training is that some dog behaviors only show up in the home environment. These can be identified and retrained. Jumping up to greet vistors is an example.
