Behavior Issues or Home Training...

Please read this page carefully before signing up.

Sign up link is located near bottom of page.

There are times where classes are just not the kind of training you or your pets need. Whether it's because you have dog picky dogs or are just having certain behavioral problems at home. We can help you.

Some reasons for

In Home One on One Training

or Live Online Private Training are:

Basic Manners

Jumping on people

Fearful Dogs - all fears

Anxiety

Dog reactive dogs

People reactive dogs

Dog on Dog Aggression (dog fights)

Seperation Anxiety

Issues at Vet

Dog aggression

People aggression

Resource guarding

Counter surfing

Window/Door barking

Demand barking

and many more.

Keep in mind behavior problems took a while to surface/learn. It will take some time of training to address the issues. Many times if we are dealing with fear/aggression we have to go at the dog's pace, not our own. So complex problems may take weeks, months, or even years to address.

Some problems we can solve and others we can get them to about 80 percent improvement. The other 20 percent we teach you how to manage and recognize the dog's triggers. There is a lot of education that the owner will need to be prepared to do with the trainer. This is a time commitment, it's also a investment into your dogs health and mental health.

Please remember most aggression stems from fear, frustration, over excitement, and bad choice making.

It's not their fault they are afraid, we have to teach them to have confidence and how to make better choices.

I use force free and fear free only methods.

No Pain, No Force, No fear, No pinch, No shock.

None of these are necessary in training and cause additional trauma later on down the road.
