In-Home Dog Training and Group Lessons:

The first question is, what are your goals?

Intensive training is very effective in getting fast, proven results.  Both owner and dog interact with the trainer.  

If your pup needs potty training, jumping and nipping issues, learning how to properly walk on a leash or a good foundation to learn to Focus and listen to you in the first place, I can help you to get that done.  This is training for not just your dog.  The purpose is to train the owner so that he/she can continue to maintain what I imprint into the dog.

Personal lessons are a wonderful solution if you have a wife or husband who doesn't quite have things under control in the Doggie Department.  If you feel he/she is ruining your dog and would like me to come and deliver a lesson, be the neutralizer, please give me a call and let me know the specifics.

Please call or text me at: (818) 559-5482.

Group Lessons:

One of the main goals in GROUP LESSONS is to not only train your dog but to also train YOU!

Most people can commit to 3 simple lessons and with the group atmosphere, and being given the opportunity to help each other, this influences the dogs in a positive way.

 



Each individual is there with the understanding that we have to take responsibility for each other as a group to overcome the various problems and scenarios that we experience in life and not in just a group dog lesson.

It is a wonderful thing bringing things to a better state of control.  It starts with learning how to better communicate and getting your dog to be able to sit, Focus and listen and drill, drill, drill!  Group lessons are a lot of fun!  SO CALL ME TODAY AND SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT GROUP CLASS!
