Not everyone wants to be a dog trainer.  I can come to your home while you are away or home but otherwise occupied and train your dog for you. This is also known as “Day Training” This is about as “hands-off” as you can get without your dog leaving home to go to day school or away for weeks at a training camp.

The benefits are numerous. Your dog gets exercise and stimulation, both mental and physical.  You learn how and when to ask for the new behaviors without having to teach them initially.  This is a great solution for those who really want to enjoy activities with their dog, but do not have the extra time or inclination required to train the dog to be an enjoyable companion. 

During the initial in-home consultation, we will discuss the behaviors you want your dog to do as well as any behaviors you want your dog to stop doing. You will tell me the ways in which you want to have fun with your dog and together we will formulate a plan to accomplish those goals.

Dog only sessions – I will work one on one with your dog teaching and practicing behaviors with a few short play breaks thrown in. I will leave a note for you each day on the lesson plan with progress reports.

During the owner and dog sessions I will show you what Rover has learned and how to practice those behaviors on your own as well as discuss plans for the next week’s sessions. I will give you handouts and go over practice schedules.
