We consider a dog trained to do a behavior when they will do it anywhere, at any time, the first time you ask, and around any distractions. If you have to ask your dog multiple times to do something, if he only does it when he isn’t distracted, if he only does it when he feels like it, etc., then your dog is not trained to do that behavior. Here you see Flynn responding promptly to his owner the first time when she asks him to do something. This is what your dog’s responses should look like regardless of the amount of distractions around. Contact us today to learn more!
No matter what size dog you have, we are happy to work with you. We don't discriminate based on size, breed, behavior problem, etc. If you are having a behavioral problem with your dog that is making your life difficult or would just like a better relationship with your dog in general, contact us today and let us help you return your relationship with your dog to one of harmony and peace!
When working with your dog, it is important to remember that you are a human, and your dog is a dog. Now, this might seem like common sense, however, lots of people seems to forget this and process their dog’s behavior as if they are a person and communicate with them as if they are human. So, when you are working with your dog, remember that you need to process your dog’s behavior how another dog would see it, and when you communicate them, you need to communicate with your dog in a way that they actually understand. Because treating your dog like a little furry person isn’t going to help either of you.

If you want to be successful training your dog, there are two key things, that have to happen on a big picture level:
1. Your dog has to put effort in and be motivated to do what you’re asking. Because if your dog isn’t putting effort in you won’t get very far!
2. You also need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with your dog. Even if your dog is putting effort in, if your dog doesn’t understand what you are asking or trying to communicate with them, it still isn’t going to go very well.
Now, when you think about that, once you have your dog putting effort in and you are able to communicate clearly and effectively though, being successful is really pretty straightforward.

Meet Armani!
Meet Armani! Armani is a 7 month old Wooly Husky that came to us primarily for issues with separation anxiety (particularly when being left), as well as pulling on the leash, jumping, and peeing when excited. His owners also want him to be reliable off leash.
This clip is from Armani’s second lesson with us. Notice how he is already willing to follow his owners and is therefore acknowledging that he sees them as his leader. As we have discussed before in previous posts, your dog being willing to follow you (and in turn acknowledge that you are their leader) is essential to your success.

Whether you have a dog with more serious issues such as aggression, reactivity, or anxiety, or more minor behavioral issues, we’d love to help you navigate them.
