Private Training

The Joy of a

Well-Mannered Dog

​

Is there anything better than a dog who sits when you ask, comes to you when called, walks politely next to you, and actually seems to listen when you speak? Every dog can learn the simple rules of polite behavior.

​

I offer two methods to assist your dog into becoming a well-mannered family member: I will teach you how to make a difference in your dog’s behavior, or I will take care of the training for you.

Imagine Your Pet

​

  • Sitting or lying down when you ask and staying there

​

  • Coming when you call, the first time

​

  • Walking with you instead of dragging you

​

  • Greeting guests and strangers with a polite sit

​

  • Leaving that nasty thing on the ground alone

​

  • Looking at you when you speak to her

​

  • Generally being a lovely companion to have around

How Private Training Works

Running Dog

Working with your own dog can be incredibly rewarding and lots of fun!  I will show you how to teach the new behaviors you want, and how to gently eliminate the ones that irritate or annoy you.

 

As a Certified Dog Trainer, I offer a variety of programs to meet every dog owners needs:

​

​

Basic Puppy Training: ages 3 - 6 months

​

Polite manners for your new puppy are essential for them to become a well-behaved member of your family.  I address puppy issues such as house training, socialization, chewing, nipping, jumping, and commands like come when called, sit, down, stay, and all-important good leash manners so you can enjoy your walks together…….and much more.

Introduction to AKC Rally-Obedience:

​

For dogs and pet parents who have some basic obedience skills and would like to do something FUN to improve them !!  This class is all about TEAMWORK!!  You and your dog will navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own pace.  The two of you will move through a course with signs performing difference skills.  These skills consist of sits, downs, stays, walkarounds, pace changes, turns, and pivots, even some jumps.  Rally develops better teamwork and will sharpen your dog’s obedience skills and behavior at home and in public. Great physical and mental stimulations (for both of you!)

Tricks for Treats:

​

Trick training builds confidence, improves obedience and manners, strengthens the bonds between you and your dog, and is a great form of physical and mental exercise.  During this class, you will learn the foundation of how to train your dog tricks, how to break down complicated tricks into specific parts, and then put the parts together to complete a trick.  The possibilities are endless!!  You can choose from an extensive list of what trick you would like to learn (some are spins, weave between your legs, take a bow, roll over, pole, high five, wave hello, jump thru the hoop, crawl, and much more).  You and your dog will have fun showing off your new skills to friends and family.
