I know first-hand that dogs act differently at home than they do in a classroom setting. That's why I
strongly believe in private in-home dog training and offer this service as well as group dog training.
Dog training at home is very successful. Your dog is in a comfortable environment with all of the
distractions that a normal day-to-day existence has. In-home dog training allows you to establish
that bond at home where all training really begins and continues for a lifetime! I encourage all
family members to take part in training. All training methods are done with positive reinforcement.
Since these classes are all one-on-one teaching, they are fast paced, intense and direct to the
point and will provide positive results. You don't have to share your time with other students and
we can work on the issues going on in your home (i.e. kitchen table beggars, counter surfers, door
dashers, etc).
I look forward to providing any of the following services to help you develop and maintain and
strong bond with your pet:
‘Paws’-itively Puppy:
This is the most critical time during the life of your dog – it is the foundation for things to come! We
all realize at some point that what is so “cute” for a puppy is not so “cute” in a full-grown dog.
Puppy sessions provide education for the whole family on: leadership, manners, socialization,
housebreaking, proper play and beginning obedience. These sessions are designed to stop
unwanted behaviors such as nipping, chewing, jumping, and barking. Ages 9 weeks to 24 weeks
months. To get your puppy off to a good start I recommend four sessions, however, you may do as
many sessions as you like. Potty Training services also available .One-hour sessions
($65-$100). Call or email for pricing for your area.
‘Paws’-itively Basic for Everyday Living:
Basic dog obedience is designed to teach the essential commands that every owner and dog will
benefit from. Training sessions will cover positive training techniques and general applications for
the day to day life with your dog. Some of the basic commands include sit, sit/stay, down,
down/stay, come, loose-leash walking, leave it, drop it, move and back up. I will show you how to
incorporate training into your everyday lifestyle (practical approach to training). There will also be
opportunity to socialize your pet using various outside locations. Pets 4-6 Months and older. One-
hour sessions ($50-$75). Call or email for pricing in your area .
