Private Lessons
Private lessons are individualized training sessions geared to your specific needs and problems. The primary advantage of this is that it allows you to learn at a rate geared to you and your dog and to focus on your specific needs and/or problems. While the total price of private training is slightly higher than group lessons, the beneficial reward that comes from private training can assist you and your dog to become more attuned to your dog’s state of mind. Most of my clients take approximately 4-5 lessons to achieve what they wanted to with their dog. Typically, the first 2 sessions are a week apart, then the last 3…

Thinking of having a Baby?
Don’t make these dog mistakes Usually bringing a human baby home adds a new stress to the home life; a good stress but new stress none the less. If you are ever anticipating having a child, avoid these common pitfalls that dog owners allow their canine baby to get used to. Jumping or Giving Paw: If allow your dog to jump or teach him to give paw, it’s going to be hard to undo that training once your baby comes home. An infant’s skin is sensitive, your dog may want to jump on you or give you his paw but if you are holding the infant, chances are he or she will…

The Long Cold Winter and your Dog
Even though the temperature is cold outside, your dogs still need exercise and training. Many dogs begin to exhibit negative behavior in the winter because their owners do not want to go outside to exercise and play with their dogs. Many send the dog into the yard to ‘entertain” themselves, but really, they are not doing anything but waiting for their owners to interact with them. Behavioral Problems in the Winter Months: I have seen many types of unusual and/or negative behavior arise in the winter that were not there the season before and usually go away once the temperatures rise and you and your dog are able to get outside for some fresh air and exercise. To their…

Nuisance Behavior
Since when did nuisance behavior like barking, jumping, relieving themselves indoors and mouthing become acceptable behaviors for a puppy? While this is normal puppy behavior it is far from acceptable. Puppies that are allowed to continue this behavior grow up to be nuisance barkers, bullies and markers (lift their legs on everything). Why Puppy Training? Puppy training was created as a way to teach good manners before bad manners become a habit. If you wait until your dog is 7 months old, yes, he can still learn but many of his bad manners are now habits. Habits are harder to break than teaching good manners from the start. Puppies are…
