Behavior Consultations

A behavior consultation is done in your home to give you and your dog all the individual attention needed to help work on any behavior problems your dog may be having. Learning how to appropriately deal with behavior problems can make your life with your dog much more enjoyable. Some problems that this type of training can help are: jumping on people, furniture and/or counters, hyperactivity, chewing, barking, stealing, begging, housebreaking, anxiety or fearful behaviors, some forms of aggression, and more.

Every behavior consultation involves the trainer taking a detailed behavior history, teaching the owner the appropriate training to do for the particular problem, some obedience training, a detailed custom written behavior plan and a follow up phone call.

*Behavior consultations are not necessarily just for problems behaviors-they can be beneficial for expectant parents to learn how to prepare their dog for the newest family member. Also, families with newly adopted dogs can benefit from a behavior consultation to help get them off on the right paw.

In Home Training

All of the cues and lessons that can be taught in a group Basic Manners Class (and more advanced levels of training) can be taught in the more private, less distracting environment where you and your dog spend the most time together-your home!

The advantage to in home training is that the lesson plan is not pre-determined. It can be designed around the needs of you and your dog. We can also help you decide what lessons may be the most beneficial to you and your pet. Lessons are upbeat and fun to keep the training enjoyable. All lessons include custom written homework sheets.

Home School Training Package

This package includes daily training and walks for your dog while you are at work. We will come for a half hour visit every day (with a total of five visits) and combine a midday walk with basic training such as polite leash walking, sit, down, stay, and more. This package also includes one half hour visit after the five daily sessions with your dog to teach you what your dog has learned and to show you how to continue practicing on your own. If necessary each visit can also include feeding, changing water, and administering medication. Daily report cards and a custom written homework sheet are also included.

*Please note that the training done with this service is intended to help your dog with basic obedience cues and it does not address any behavioral issues.
