I love this program! This program is for clients that want to have a more hands on approach to their training experience. More often then we think our four legged companions behavioral problems have to guilty parties, us and them. We can have a profound effect on how our dogs learn and grow. This program is not for everyone. Its ALOT of hard work but has the benefits of being a very well rounded course were owners often learn just as much if not more than the dogs do. 

​

How the program works: ​

We will meet once a week for 9 weeks in your home. We will use a curriculum based program that has been proven to achieve specific results if followed. If you have specific issues like aggression, recourse guarding, elimination accidents, etc.. these will also be covered as we follow the course. Each week you will meet with a trainer in your home and be taught how do perform the proper training techniques in order to perform your "home work" for that week. We will meet the following week discuses how it went, answer questions access the dogs progress and move on to the next weeks criteria. The over all goal of this course is to work towards off leash reliability with your dog. These are just a few specifics we will work on

​

• Place command (bed command)

• Leave it

• Sit

• Down 

• Down at a distance

• Stay with all positional command (we use an implied stay principle)

• Re-call or come on command off leash

• Heel on and off leash

• Waiting at door ways

• Loading in and out of a vehicle 

• Public access training ​ 

​

All commands will be taught using our system that we call "the 3 D's of training." All of these commands will be performed off-leash with Duration, Distance, and Distraction.

​

We will positive motivation with this such as food, treats, toys, and verbal praise to prepare your dog to become focused, engaged. Rather than using fear and control as our main tools to force obedience. Our dog training system encourages dogs to WANT to obey us for the right reasons, trust, respect, and a genuine relationship built around love for each other. 

​

Once the dog has had enough consistency to understands what is expected on a specific command, we use fair and consistent corrections to prevent disobedient behaviors. In other words we will begin to teach structure with boundaries and rules that have consequences. The dog must know exactly why it is getting corrected so it can avoid that correction in the future. The chain pet stores would love to convince you that you can train your dog solely using food and praise. Around 90% of our clients have already tried these methods and found they did not provide the help that they needed and continued to look for a better solution.

​

We believe that their is a balance between using reward and discipline based training methods, this is crucial to helping our dogs become the most confident, stable and well-rounded dogs.
