             PET DOG TRAINING SERVICES

Does you dog jump on visitors, nip the kids, destroy your furniture, dart out the front door or bark non-stop? Perhaps you're looking to get that new puppy started out on the right paw or your fur-kid is in need of some simple basic training and manners.

Whichever the case, we're here to help! Problem behaviors are easily modified and new skills quickly learned. We teach you to teach your dog - and the best part is - it's fun, easy and effective when you train with our "Positively, Dog-Friendly, Dog Training" method.

Using our dog-friendly dog training method you will not only strengthen the bond between you and your dog but you will also to build a relationship with your pet based on trust and respect.

We do not use shock, choke or pinch collars. We do not use any fear or force based training methods such as alpha rolls, scruff shakes, intimidation, leash corrections, or yelling.

Using punishment, or any aversive techniques, not only weakens the bond of trust between you and your dog, but also provides him with very little usable information. Punishing your dog tells him the choice he made was wrong, but gives him no direction for what he should have done instead.

The great thing about dog friendly dog training is that anyone can do it. You don't have to worry about having the strength to give your dog effective leash corrections or a low enough voice to give a meaningful “no”. Even a child can help with this type of training. Once you start using this method, you'll find your dog quickly becoming a well-behaved companion. Even better, your relationship will be stronger and you’ll both be having tons of fun in the process!

Give us a call and let us design a program to fit your needs and lifestyle. The initial phone consultation is always FREE of charge - this is the time to tell us your needs.
