I will follow any routine your dog has or you prefer. Please let me know if your dog has a restriction in their diet or if they have a physical limitation. My goal will be to provide the best possible care to your dog. I am currently not accepting aggressive dogs.

After getting some exercise, I will begin working through the skills included in AKC Home Manners, Public Manners, and Canine Good Citizen courses. Your dog likely knows many of these already, so I will focus on new skills acquisition beginning with the most basic skills gaps and advancing through the following list, depending on your dog and your goals: -Crate training -Sit and stay on command -Down and stay on command -Come when called -Handler can brush/examine -Manners related to food -Doorbell/knock: Dog behaves appropriately -Go to place/crate -Out for a walk: Leash on, calmly exits door -Walking on loose leash (without distractions) -Accept strangers: Let a friendly stranger approach and have a conversation without getting nervous or overprotective. -Sit politely for petting: Ensuring you can say "Yes!" when someone asks "Can I pet your dog?" -Remain calm at groomer/vet: Still while someone brushes and gives a quick exam of ears and paws -Loose leash walking in public with distractions -Walking through a crowd -Sit, down, and stay (in public): Your dog will listen to you even outside your home. -Come when called. Keep your dog under control and safe in off-leash environments (dog park, your back yard, etc.) -Reaction to another dog: Behave politely around other dogs (passing on greenway, etc.) -Reaction to distraction: Confident at all times when faced with common distracting situations (people jogging, dropped items, etc.). -Supervised separation: Dog can be left with a trusted person if necessary and will maintain training and good manners
