Puppies are learning machines.  They pick up on good and not so good behaviors quickly.  Let's start them on the right path.  In my training, I work on the following:

• Potty Training Issues
• Help with the Puppy Biting Phase
• Learning Polite Greetings   
• Walking on Leash
• Learning to "Leave It"  and " Drop It"
• Relaxation and Calm Behavior
• Introduction to Enrichment and Brain Games suitable for young dogs.

Yes, an Old Dog can learn new tricks!   Dogs are never too old to learn new behaviors. With adult dogs, I first like to meet the dog and see what behaviors they need help with. ITalking with you to find what behaviors are important is my first step in making a behavior plan.   I generally work on the following:

• Walking on Leash without pulling
• Helping to stop them  jumping when greeting people
• Leave It and  Drop It
• Coming when Called
• Relaxation and Calm Behavior 
• More Enrichment activities and Brain Games

Lots of dogs just need help with one or two behaviors.  

• Guarding of Food Bowls and Treats
• Pulling on Leash
• Barking in the home or at other dogs on a walk
• Chewing items
• Jumping when greeting
• Not coming when called

Please email me and describe the behaviors you want to work on and we can discuss the best plan of action. 

The world can be a scary place for dogs that lack confidence and have a difficult time adjusting to new situations or meeting new people.  I help your dog build confidence and build resilience in these situations.  This is done with Fear and Force Free Methods.  Building trust can take time but it is worth it.   I also teach  a class at
