A Trained dog is a Happy dog!
I am willing to work with you and your dog as long as you are also willing to work with your dog. I have over 40 years of dog training experience. I started with the family dog through 4-H and participataed in competion obedience trials,. For the past 17 years I have held the position as dog trainer at my current place of employment. I have trained family dogs, therapy dogs, and service dogs. I have worked with many reactive dogs, including my two dogs I currently have. I have enjoyed my time working for my current employer. However, I am ready to start my own business.
What to expect
Consultation
I offer a free consultation to meet you and your dog and to discuss training and behavior needs and goals. We will discuss training challenges as well. This will give me the information I need to develope a training plan for you and your dog. I require proof of vaccinations at the time of the consultation.
Sessions
At the first session I will have a training plan for your dog. We will begin with the first lesson. I will usually teach three or four skills during each session. I will show you how to teach your dog how to perform a certain skill and then have you do the skill with your dog. Between sessions you will practice the skills I have taught. Each session will be approximatly one hour.
Experience
My training philosophy is positive reinforcement, reward based training. I use several techniques for training dogs. The techniques I use are Lure and Reward, Shaping,and Catching a behavior. I teach incompatable behaviors and replacement behaviors as well.
