Consultation

We will first meet with you and your dog. We want to make sure that the dog is present to create a positive association with us and the owner. After that has been established, we would sit down with you and discuss how can we go about helping you. Then at that point, we will create an individual plan for your dog and your particular situation.

Backyard Agility

Backyard agility is a fun class that is designed for both dog and the dog owner to enjoy. This is one sure way to bond with your dog. A lot of behavioral issues happen because dogs do not get sufficient exercise. This course will get that energy out of their system. Inside or outside agility courses are available.

Here are some benefits that come along with learning agility:

The dog will learn to focus on their handler.
It improves your dog’s strength and muscles.
The dog will burn off energy when they run through the course. This is great for dogs that are hyperactive and are looking for a workout that is both mentally and physically.

This is what your class contains:

· · Low jumps

· · Poles

· · Tube

· See Saw

· Flat work.

Although Agility is not offered as it's own particular class due to the diversity of skills that a dog has. This can always be added on to the package that you decide to purchase.

Behavioral Modification programs

These are the behaviors that I deal with the most:

-multi dog house holds:

Dogs are not getting along.
A new dog or puppy is being introduced to a dog that already lives there.

-Leash reactive dogs:

Your dog alarm barks, howls, growls, and even at times lunges towards other dogs.
Exhibits fear when seeing other dogs.
Body becomes rigid and stiff.
Dog has redirected their aggression towards you and in the process you got bitten
Your dog cannot be introduced to other dogs.

-Separation Anxiety:

The dog follows you around from room to room.
Barks or howls when you are not home.
Dog cannot be crated without injuring himself by trying to get out.
Dog engages self-mutilation.
Destruction of Property
Dog has gone to the bathroom while are you gone and is already house broken (potty trained)
Spends all day waiting by the door waiting for you.
Gets between you and the door not leaving you room to access the door to access going outside.
Greetings at the door are overly excited.

-Dogs that are overly Excited:

Dog jumps uncontrollably trying to meet other dogs and/or people.
Barks excitably.
You as the owner cannot handle your dog's excitability.
Some of the time this can be confused with leash reactivity (believe it or not).

-Fearful Dogs:

Dogs are scared of other dogs.
Dogs are scared of people
Dogs that are scared of being touched.
Dog's that are scared of loud noises.

-Resource Guarding:

Begins between 6 to 8 months of age.
Dog will grab their object of affection and try to hide it away from it's owner.
The owner cannot grab a toy out of the dog's mouth without the dog growling at them.
Dog will body block other dogs and or people when it comes to their water bowl and/ or food bowl

-Given that the treatments for each one of these is so different and can vary on degrees of severity. Each dog would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis. I normally advise people to purchase one single class, so that I can evaluate their dog.

AKC Good Canine Citizenship Test: $130

Are you interested in your dog becoming a service dog?
Would you like your dog to become a therapy dog?
The first step that these dogs will have to do is to take the AKC (CGC) Good Canine Citizenship Test.

Day Training vs Coaching

Day Training

This is a great option for individuals who live very busy lives, yet want their dog trained. Sometimes, life just gets busy. A lot of people are working from home, and their kids are being homeschooled. So, if you feel like you don’t have time to train your dog, that is okay. I am here to do that for you. With this program, I would be training your dog for you. Then we would meet up to discuss what your dog was taught.

Coaching

This is where I teach you, how to train your dog. With this program, I will be giving you homework and we will probably just meet once a week. This is an excellent program for individuals who are genuinely interested in dog behavior, dog psychology and are great at following through with the assignments that are given to them on a week by week basis.
