Making man's best friend even better I

Does your dog:

• Bark excessively?
• Pull on the leash?
• Destroy household items?
• Jump on people?

Training is your dog's education on how to co-exist with humans. It establishes a line of communication between you and your pet. Training forms a special bond between owner and pet because of that line of communication. An important goal in all programs is to help your dog understand what pleases you and what doesn't.

Look for a personal trainer with years of experience. Programs should not be a textbook format. Your trainer will show you techniques that will be tailored specifically for your dog's personality. With that in mind you will see fast results that will last.

A good trainer will provide private classes with purposeful distractions, such as toys and other dogs on site so your dog will have positive experiences with another dog.

Puppies, dogs that are under 20 weeks of age, are at the most impressionable time in their lives.  It is much easier to teach good behavior than it is to break bad habits.  In a 45-minute consultation you should learn how to prevent bad behaviors from starting and to stop current negative behaviors.
The initial consultation should help you learn about your puppy’s personality. Basic commands such as sit, come, place and how to walk without pulling on the leash would be reviewed. Behavioral problems along with house breaking would be covered as well.

When a dog is at least 16 weeks old, basic obedience training is the first step in solving a behavioral problem.  Obedience training is your dog's education on how to coexist with humans. It establishes a line of communication between you and your dog.

A basic training program should cover basic commands like:

• Sit
• Down
• Place
• Heel
• Come

A premier training school will encourage the whole family to come and handle your dog, thus allowing everyone to learn the skills needed to keep everyday life with your pet consistent.
