"I
have had dogs in my family my whole life. I have been training dogs
and their humans for 12 years. I use reward-based, positive, fun
methods to teach our dogs what we are asking them to do. I call it
play/train, our dogs can't tell it's training, cause I make it FUN for
the dog an downer.
I can teach you some dog language and we can
teach our dogs some English. I would love to help every dog get to be
in their forever home and never in a shelter."
Recall Workshop (Coming When Called):
A super reliable recall is the most important thing you can teach your
dog. The dog will be safer if you can call him away from a busy road or
a distraction that may be harmful, but you will be able to enjoy more
off leash time if you know you can call him back to you.
Walking Nice on Leash Workshop:
This workshop focuses on ending the frustration of your dog taking YOU
for a walk. In this workshop we will work on being able to walk with a
nice loose leash, even with distractions around
Stop Jumping Up on People Workshop:
This workshop will end the behavior of your dog leaving paw prints on
you or anyone he meets. Just think what a pleasure it will be to let
your dog say “hi” to people knowing he will sit automatically. We will
teach that the approach of someone means “sit” without being told.
Leave-It/Off Workshop:
Get your dog to turn away from and ignore anything! We’ll start with
non-moving, not highly enticing objects such as a dropped piece of
food, but move up to your child’s toy, shoes, or anything they may find
interesting. Then we’ll progress up to moving objects, yes this can
work for not chasing the cat!
Leadership Workshop: This
workshop helps owners create a positive, clear leadership role in the
household. Using positive reward-based training the exercises are
geared toward building a solid status foundation of who exactly is top
dog in the house.
Puppy Workshops: This workshop is for
puppies 6 months old and younger. Start out on the right foot with a
new puppy in the household. This workshop will cover all the basic
problem areas people have with new puppies. Potty training, chewing,
mouthing (biting), digging...etc all while the puppies get to socialize
with other puppies and people. This workshop will help you have a well
behaved puppy.
Small Dog Confidence Builder and Socializing Workshop:
If your “little-dog” is shy or a small barracuda, this workshop will
help socialize and work on confidence issues in the safety of other
small dogs. Some exercises will include confidence building games.
Games to teach manners, and some hand selected larger dogs that are
gentle to help them overcome that “little-dog-syndrome”.
Tricks Galore:
This workshop will teach your dogs some cool tricks to impress your
friends with. Starting with “shake”, “high-five”, “wave”, “roll-over”,
building up to teaching your dog to skateboard. Dogs love to learn new
things, this workshop will teach you how to shape these behaviors while
you engage, challenge and bond with your dog.
Problem Solving and Private Lessons available:
**Jumping Up **Resource guarding ( food, objects/toys, people)
**Mouthing/biting **Excessive Barking **Front door, doorbell/greeting
manners **Fear--reactive, aggressive behaviors **Hyperactivity There is
nothing better than the attention of a professional trainer working
with you and your dog exclusively- one-on-one. Private lessons let you
schedule the session when convienient for you, with some dogs and their
people it is much easier to learn one-on-one in a less distracting
environment. It helps create the "real-life" situation when/where the
problem occurs. We can't ask or expect our dogs to do behaviors in a
distracting environment if they can't do the behavior in a
non-distracting place.
