Puppy Manners, Home-based Training

I am a certified ABCDT, member of APDT and fully insured. I'm Elaine Fournier-LeMay, ABCDT. This inspired me to become a professional trainer.

Puppy Manners, Home-based Training is committed to enhancing the bond between puppies and their owners through personalized, in-home obedience training services. I have a passion for fostering harmonious relationships between humans and their canine companions, and with that I bring forth a blend of comprehensive education and hands-on experience in the realm of dog training. My journey began with

training several of my own dogs through attending training in Basic Manners, AKC Canine Good Citizen and AKC S.T.A.R Puppy classes. This led me to the esteemed Animal Behavior College Dog Training Program, where I received rigorous instruction under the guidance of industry experts. My approach to dog training is rooted in patience, empathy, and positive reinforcement techniques. I firmly believe in tailoring training methods to suit the individual needs and temperament of each dog, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience. Through clear communication, consistency, and a deep understanding of canine behavior, I strive to empower dog owners with the knowledge and tools necessary to nurture a fulfilling and enduring relationship with their beloved pets. Whether it's mastering basic obedience commands or refining socialization skills, I am dedicated to empowering dogs to achieve their full potential while fostering a deeper bond with their human counterparts. I am committed to providing compassionate guidance and support to both dogs and their owners on their journey towards mutual understanding and harmony. Whether you're seeking to address behavioral challenges or simply enhance your bond with your furry friend, I am here to help you achieve your training goals with confidence and expertise.

Thinking of Adopting? Learn about the breed FIRST, then fall in love!

Understanding a dog's breed is crucial before adopting a furry friend. Each breed has unique characteristics, behaviors, and needs. Knowing these traits beforehand ensures a better match with your lifestyle and living situation. Breed knowledge allows you to provide the best care and training possible, promoting your furry friend's health, happiness, and overall well-being. Misjudging a breed or misunderstanding its traits can lead to potential conflicts and even rehoming the pet. Let's make informed decisions to ensure a successful adoption journey filled with love and companionship. 🐾💕

Do you know when your dog is fearful or stressed? If your dog is showing these signs, remove them from the situation until they re-establish a relaxed and comfortable posture.

Struggling with training your pooch? Review these tips and adjust.

• Be consistent: Everyone in the household needs to agree on the rules for the dog and consistently follow them. It's also important to be consistent with the words or combination of words used for commands. For example, "Get down" and "Off" may mean different things to your dog, so it's important to stick to one command.

• Be patient: Every dog learns differently, so some commands may take longer to learn than others. It's important to be patient and not get frustrated if your dog doesn't learn a command right away.

• Break it down: Break each command into steps and give your dog time to learn each step before moving on to the next. This will help your dog understand what is expected of them and make it easier for them to learn.

• Provide a positive learning environment: If your dog associates learning with play, they are more likely to learn faster. If you find yourself getting frustrated or short on patience, end the training session and always end each session with play.

• Be aware of what you are teaching your dog: Your dog is always learning, so it's important to be conscious of what you are teaching them. Try to think like your dog and understand how they perceive your actions.

• Be aware of timing: Good timing is essential in training. If your cues are off, your dog may not understand what you are trying to teach them.

• Accentuate the positive: Focus on reinforcing good behavior and keep negative interactions to a minimum. Positively reinforce good behavior whenever it occurs, as this will encourage your dog to repeat the behavior in the future.

Why is training so important?
As pet owners, we sometimes tend to treat our dogs as if they were our children. We may refer to them as our babies. However, it's important to remember that dogs are not humans; they are canines with different needs. To ensure that your dog is well-cared for and loved, it's essential to be a good pack leader. Being consistent in your actions and setting boundaries without intimidation is the key to being successful. Dogs need to feel secure that you are in charge and that they can rely on you. This doesn't mean you must be dominant, aggressive, or physically assertive. You can achieve this authority by setting clear boundaries, being fair, patient, consistent and dependable with positive rewards.
