Adult Dog Training
Loose Leash Walking
What is included
Are you finding that instead of enjoying your walk with your dog, you are starting to dread it? You might even be at the point where you are making excuses not to walk your dog. Imagine not being worried about your dog dragging you down the street? This program can make that wish a reality.
Together we will train your dog to be more attentive to your response instead of going after everything that stimulates his excitement. This class teaches your dog leash manners so you can go out with your furry friend and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Please note that this program is for dogs that pull on the leash (NOT for reactive dogs. Please see the Growly to Great program).
The class consists of 3 weekly 1 hour sessions in and around your home and neighborhood.
Consultation regarding the best equipment to support you and your dog.
Support – got a question or is your dog doing something unexpected? Call us and
we will be there to support you throughout the training program and for 6 months
afterwards.

BEGINNING OBEDIENCE
What is included
Would you like a well-mannered good family dog? A dog who knows the house rules and respects them without you having to constantly nag at them. This program will teach your dog to reliably
- Sit
- Down
- Leave it
- Drop it
- Loose leash walking
- Touch
- Stay
- Come
- Place
- Watch me
These are the essentials for a well-mannered family dog.
Do you know that in dog language, appeasement gestures like scratching, yawning, play bows, turning head (averted gaze) or body away, licking lips, sniffing the ground, lifting a paw, and such other gestures show that the dog is nonthreatening, or he comes in peace?
While your pup is learning the basics, you will learn how to start “speaking dog” so you know how your dog is feeling/ thinking at any given time. Just by learning how your dog’s mind works, you will be able to problem solve different behaviors that may arise along the way.
This class consists of 6 weekly 1 hour sessions

Grumpy To Great
What is included
This class is for the dog that is in the early phase of adversely reacting (mild to moderate) toward people or other dogs. They may be barking, lunging, pulling or even screaming at other dogs or people on walks. These are signs of a dog who may be fearful, or unsure of other dogs, humans, or really anything in their environment. They can also be an indication your dog lacks confidence.
With this program we can turn things around, so your dog is more comfortable and confident around both people and dogs. Start looking forward to walking your dog instead of feeling like you are heading out to battle. In addition, we will teach you to “speak” dog so you can identify a potential issue before it becomes a situation.
This class is very similar to our more advanced class, Growly to Great. We understand that it is often difficult to determine the level of “reactiveness” your dog may be exhibiting. Not to worry, we will make sure you are placed in the right class. After meeting you and your dog, we will also recommend what equipment (for walking your dog) we think would work best according to your specific situation.
WE NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND PRONG, SHOCK, CHOKE, OR E-COLLARS!!
The entire class consists of six 1 hour sessions with a flexible schedule. In addition to our time together, we will support your learning outside of the actual sessions with written homework supporting the lessons covered during class.
Support – got a question or is your dog doing something unexpected? Call us and we will be there to support you throughout the training program and for 12 months afterwards.
Graduation certificate & gift – at the end of the program you’ll want to celebrate your dog’s progress with a keepsake from us.
