(27)

We specialize in Dog Training, Puppy Development, Dog Behavior Modification and who could forget, Dog Tricks, in the Greater Boston Area. Contact us to see how we can improve your relationship with your dog. At that point Nil and I started our life with dogs. We had dogs around us from early in the morning to nighttime all most everyday. We enjoyed it, and we learned from our experiences. I starte

d to watch dogs closely, to study them. I started to learn about different training methods. I started to read everything about dogs that I could. I read about dog body language and behavior, and I would see the body language and behavior of the dogs around me. I started to naturally teach the dogs not to pull on the leash when I walked them, not to jump up on me, I taught them tricks. My love and understanding of dogs continues to grow. A little while later I was lucky enough to be able to attend National K-9 School for Dog Trainers in Cleveland, Ohio. Where I was able to learn from Bob Javis ( 30 yrs. of dog training, and a lot of years training trainers, at the time.) and Chris Altier (10 yrs. of dog training, and 10 years of training trainers, at the time.) I took the “Master Trainer” course and learned a lot. My focus is and was on obedience, puppy development, and behavior modification. The course went far beyond that. At the end of the course I was designated a Certified Professional Trainer with the following endorsements: Basic Obedience, Advanced Obedience, Behavior Modification, Utility, Breed Identification, Puppy Development, Tracking, Scent Detection, Retrieval, Personal Protection, Police K9. I also became a member of two worldwide Trainer Associations. National K9 Trainers Association and International Association of Canine Professionals. When I returned home I started taking training contracts, and I have been training dogs ever since.

What’s the #1 thing you look for when searching for a dog trainer?

Back with another check-in with Craig! His pup Rudie is mastering the “Mix-and-Match” game!🤩


Craig and Rudie learned this game, as well as19 other training exercises and games by enrolling in our SuperCycles Directed Study Program!


The Mix and Match game is a satisfying way to gauge your dog's improvement in communication and compliance with your requests while also allowing you to assess what skills still need a bit of work. Plus, it's a great way to bond with your dog and keep training enjoyable.🎉 The only thing is, you can not play the game if you do not know the game.

Our mission is to help you build harmony and structure in your relationship with your dog while teaching you to communicate clearly, so you can always enjoy your dog!!!🤩


Why is that important? Because all behavior problems are caused by too much stress, too little structure, or inadequate communication.❌

In my new Mission Programs I’m going to help you with:
🐾 Stress management, because too much stress will lead to unwanted behavior.
🐾 Enhanced structure, so our dogs learn our expectations and boundaries for their behavior. This is going to help you teach your dog manners.
🐾 Communication, to help you clarify your desires and read your dog's intentions in order to predict their behavior accurately.
As you practice these new skills, your dog will become much more attentive, and you will notice how much easier it is to live and travel with your dog.😍

Curious about how to teach your dog the "place" command around distractions?


Training your dog to go to a specific place and stay there, even with distractions, is a game-changer for a peaceful home environment.


In my SuperCycles Program, I break down this command into manageable steps.


Watch as Craig helps his dog master this crucial command, resulting in a calm, obedient pup who knows exactly where to go, no matter what’s happening around them!


Achieve this level of control with your dog by joining my SuperCycles Program and starting your training journey today!🐕

My job is to tell people who do not know that playing games in which they chase their dogs might be fun, but they should not play those games.

Instead, they should play games that cause their dog to chase them.

If they ask, it is my job to tell them why.

In theory, what they do with the knowledge is up to them.

In reality, it is up to their habits and ability to change.

Training your pup should be fun, so generally speaking, if you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong!

Successful dog training is all about these three key ingredients:


🐕 Stress Management: Build harmony and reduce stress with regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a peaceful environment.


🐾 Structure: Show your dog that you control the timing of events and their immediate environment by creating and using routines consistently, which helps your dog feel secure and understand your expectations and boundaries.


🗣️ Communication: It’s so important that your dog understands what you’re asking to respond correctly.


Experience the difference today by enrolling in my Out & About program. We will study these three keys and use them to unlock your dog’s potential!

25/06/2024

The most common challenges that I see dog parents facing are engaging with their pup, and energy management.


🐶 When it comes to engagement, you have to keep training sessions short and fun at first! Gradually practice simple tasks in more distracting places. Rank environments according to difficulty, and practice at the correct level for your dog.


🐾 Regular exercise is key for energy management! Exercise helps you provide mental stimulation and enrichment for your dog. Regular stimulation prevents boredom and helps your dog regulate their energy output.


In my Out & About program, I will help you develop efficient strategies to tackle these important issues that prevent communication and good general behavior. Explore how to turn your dog into a happier, more attentive pup today at the link in my bio!🐶

Come!" turns into a game of chase, "Sit!" is met with blank stares, and "Stay!" is just a suggestion.

You're not alone! Many pups (especially when inexperienced trainers use treats ineffectively) struggle with basic commands in distracting environments.

Here's the secret most trainers won't tell you: training goes beyond treats. It's about building harmony, structure and communication which will earn you respect.🐕

Mastering basic commands is an essential piece for raising a well-behaved pup. With my Out & About program, you will quickly learn to stop your dog from pulling you on walks, stop jumping on your guests, and settle down calmly when you need them to – AND you’ll also be heard and listened to with more distractions around!


So, if you want the freedom to do what you love while your dog is around, without worrying about their poor and embarrassing behavior in public, explore my Out & About training program at the link in my bio!

What is your favorite way to get your dog's attention around distractions?🤔

A relationship-first approach creates a happy, well-behaved pup, eager to please (and making training FUN!).


Creating a solid relationship means you and your dog understand each other. You have clear expectations for each other's behavior and know each other's boundaries. This, along with learning how to "be" with your dog, will ensure your dog feels secure and loved, making life an Enjoyable Experience for both of you!🐕


Building this foundation is crucial and it is one of the many things we work on in my Out & About program, so if you’re ready to form an unbreakable bond with your pup, hit the link in my bio to learn more!

(Dog Moms, This is for You!)
Does your dog ignore you the second the treats run out?
You're not alone! Many dog parents get stuck in the "positive reinforcement" loop that only works for a while.
Here's the truth bomb: Effective dog training is NOT just about treats. It's about managing stress, intentionally setting structure by installing clear boundaries and expectations, and clear clean communication.
My Board & Train Program is different. We focus on putting your relationship with your dog first, empowering YOU to become confident and strong so your dog KNOWS they can always depend on you.
No more “endless treats” or “ridiculous corrections.”


Imagine:
🦴Creating a calm, happy household (goodbye, chewed furniture!)
🦴Building a deep, trusting bond (beyond the treat bag!)
🦴Clear Boundaries and expectations for your dog's behavior
🦴Understanding your dog's language (no more tail wags of mystery!)



Ditch the treat dependency and unlock your inner dog whisperer.
