Get your puppy off to a great start or build a better working relationship with your adult dog

What do we mean by positive training...
Dogs, like people, learn best when they are treated gently and trained without using methods that intimidate, suppress or scare them.
Positive training makes use of the simple premise that behaviors that are rewarded will increase. Over time, these reinforced behaviors will become habitual. Rather than stopping bad behaviors, you will learn to prevent behaviors you do not want your dog to practice and substitute behaviors that are compatible with your lifestyle. Your dog will be your friend and feel safe in your presence.
Training in your home....
* Allows for a personalized training program customized to your needs and those of your pup
* Teaches the whole family how to train and interact with your pup
* Can fit into your busy schedule

But what if my dog is already grown?
Don't worry, dogs can learn new tricks at any age. Beginning a program of positive training will help you build a working partnership with your dog. As your dog learns new behaviors, they can take the place of behaviors that you want to decrease. It's not a matter of "Breaking" your dog's bad habits. It's all about rewarding behaviors your like to replace those behaviors with those that are more acceptable to you.
