Why should I train my dog?
Many people think of training as just extra fun tricks your dog can learn, like shake or play dead or roll over.
But professional training can do SO much more!
Training can not only correct problem behaviors, but, better yet, prevent them in the first place!
Early training of important commands is absolutely crucial and can help prevent catastrophe.
I've worked with a client who needed multiple shoulder surgeries because
her dog would chase after squirrels while on a walk, yanking her to the ground.
I've worked with a woman whose dog was at risk of illness because while on their daily walk,
she would consistently find and eat toxic things, including cigarette butts.
(Upon graduating my program, she proudly announced her dog had beaten her nicotine habit!)
Professionally training and socializing your dog can be invaluable to making sure
both you and your pup live the best, happiest life together!
Imagine having a happy, confident dog who is well-mannered around everyone you
come into contact with anywhere, anytime: a dog who comes when called, stays when told,
and understands which items are chew toys and which aren't.
Training benefits EVERYONE involved!
"Okay, okay, I get it...Training's important, but I don't know if it's worth the money."
I get it; I really do. Training can get expensive, and you want to make sure it's worth your investment.
First of all, my rates are THE MOST COMPETITIVE in the area,
and I even offer package deals that can get you a bigger discount!
Second, it's important to consider the costs involved if you don't train.

Having an untrained dog isn't really free!
How much money would it cost you to not train your dog who repeatedly destroys expensive shoes and couches?
How much would it cost you to not train your dog the Come Here command
when she escapes from the house and runs into the busy street?
How much would it cost you to not socialize a dog to strangers when he bites a friend visiting your home?
How much would it cost you to not train your dog who jumps when
she knocks over an elderly relative visiting and causes injury?
The list is ENDLESS.
Training often ends up saving you in the long run when you consider these costs.
I once had a client whose dog had expensive taste...as in the dog would (repeatedly) eat her shoes,
but only the pairs that cost over three hundred dollars each. The cost she paid for my training program
to stop this behavior cost her less than half the cost of a single pair of shoes!

"Well my dog is super young and/or doesn't have any behavioral problems yet."
Wonderful! NOW is the best time to start! Preventing behavioral problems is WAY easier than correcting them!
"My dog is older and has had these issues for a long time...is it too late?"
It's never too late! Old dogs absolutely can learn new tricks...or, in this case, un-learn some!
Training an older dog will take time, but it most definitely can be done,
and I would be honored to be the one to show you how!
