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.

Is your Teen-Ager driving you NUTS?   Forgotten everything they learned in Puppy Class?   Have an adult dog that needs some manners?  YES - an older can can learn new tricks.     In our first session,  I will work with you to find what behaviors are most important to YOU - is my first step in making a behavior plan.   I generally work on the following:

• Walking on the Leash without pulling
•  Stop them from 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 need help with one or two behaviors.  

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

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
