An
accomplished trainer recognizes the relationship between a client and their dog
and can determine the problems that arise. They provide the explanation of
the problem and present you with the training advice and necessary tools to
create harmony within your pack.
We offer these services to you through private and small group classes
(semi-private) from puppy training, basic dog obedience, intermediate, advanced,
and competition training.
Since there is no State Certification for dog trainers it is important to look
at the trainers past accomplishments, their clients achievements, referrals,
years of experience, and knowledge of training different breeds.
Dogs get bored without a job and sometimes become neurotic and obsessive and
find their own jobs. Often times these jobs are not pleasant to the owner
and that is when the dog trainer is called in. A part of responsible dog
ownership is fulfilling your dogs needs to create a balanced dog. Once you
provide pack leadership and guidance for your dog by outlining their job
functions, you create harmony and a bond between your dog and your family.
I have worked with many working breeds and I will give you the tools needed to
create that well behaved pet with practice and leadership.
We are proud of the credentials we have to offer:
Training dogs of
various breeds and guiding owners in the training of their dogs.
Knowledge of canine behavior—(The
dynamics of dog psychology/understanding the characteristics of YOUR breed).
Understanding the socialization of your pet
and accomplishing this through training.
A sound training methodology that suits both you and your dog
Competing in various venues of Obedience
competition including :AKC Obedience, Schutzhund, Rally, Canine Good Citizen,
and Therapy Dog. Additionally guiding some of our clients to these venues as
well.
12 years of experience in all breeds as well as temperament evaluations and
rescue placements.
