Learn 2 Train Your Dog!!
 (Scroll down to see the various training options we offer for you and your dog.)
Read This First!
It’s hard to explain that I am “different” from other
trainers. What I can do is generalize
what other people have to offer and then contrast that with what I do in my
training practice.
Most, not all, dog training companies offer “basic obedience”. They teach you how to train your dog to sit
and to lay down; very basic stay commands and what I consider a “pseudo”
recall. They usually label their classes
as a “good manners” class. There is
NOTHING wrong with the training that they offer. However, the vast majority of these trainers
are not well versed in “high functioning obedience”. This means they don’t often offer training
that will get your dog to a reliable off-leash level. If you want a dog that WILL listen to you,
more often than not, you will not get this kind of reliability from trainers
that push “all-love” training. As I
said, this is a generalization. How do I
know? Because I have had enough dogs
come to me that have been through other training classes to know what the
results are.
I have trained thousands of dogs. Dog training is my profession, not my
hobby. I live, eat, and breathe
dog. |
 Over the past decade I have developed an extremely
comprehensive training program that effectively teaches dog owners how to train
their dogs, from reliable pet obedience to competitive obedience. First it is about understanding basic dog behaviour
and communication. There is a lot to it,
but the main, and most important points, are easy to learn and give you the tools
to communicate with your dog. Once you
can communicate, you can establish leadership and bring harmony to your
pack. Then it’s time to start obedience
training.
Obedience training your dog is literally like enrolling
yourself into a course that will teach you a skill, like playing the piano. Your dog is learning how to execute
commands. He has to learn what it is you
want from him and then he needs to apply that knowledge to everyday life. You need to effectively teach him the confidence and self control to continue to obey a command, even when there is
something he would rather be doing (chasing a cat, sniffing a bush, engaging
with other dogs). Your dog will learn to
respect what you want from him and in turn you can give him freedoms that you
have only dreamed of. |
 I know that, to the average pet dog owner, reliable obedience
seems like a nearly impossible goal; especially if your dog is already frustrating
you. But if you are shown the way and
guided through a structured process, you will achieve the obedient dog that
lays waiting for you outside the coffee shop, or the dog that doesn’t have to
be tied up at your campsite because he knows the boundaries and just doesn’t
leave. This is possible for nearly all
dogs, not just a select few.
You CAN train your dog. Your dog CAN learn
to obey
your commands when he is under heavy distraction. The question is
how bad
do you want it? It is true that it takes time. But not as
much time
as you might think. It's true that it takes work and dedication.
But it's fun to train your dog and it's encouraging to see
continual progress that you two are making.
No, your dog does not learn by osmosis. You do have to actively
train him several times a week in order to achieve the result you are looking
for. BUT, with the extensive training manuals that I have written and
"perfected" (ha ha, I am always
tweaking them), you will maintain your momentum and achieve goals each
time you train your dog. The manuals
really set my training programs apart from other training programs. They give people achievable goals and the
ability to peak head and see where they will be weeks or months down the road. |
So, with all that said...
Here's what I've got to offer
