While professional dog training may cost more than conventional club training or large group sessions the benefits greatly outweigh the additional investment. Unless you have a lot of time to work with your dog at home (two or more hours each day), large group classes seldom provide the results you desire. The benefits of professional and individualized dog training include:

• one-on-one training designed to meet your dog's personality, aptitude, social development, and your family’s goals
• training sessions that can be scheduled to match your calendar
• all of the attention during our training instruction will be focused on you and your dog
• continuing assistance is always available
• you will be working with a professionally trained and experienced, certified dog trainer that is familiar with varied training approaches and behavior problem solving
• you and your dog will not get lost in the circus atmosphere of group sessions, club training, or pet store classes

HEEL - your dog walks closely at your side
SIT - your dog sits quietly and patiently until released, even while distracted
DOWN -your dog lies down until released, even when distracted
STAY - your dog a holds a ‘sit’ or 'down' position for a long period of time, perhaps while entertaining guests or eating a meal
COME - your dog will come to you upon request
PLACE – your dog will learn to stay on a mat that limits his/her freedom to a designated area
HAND SIGNALS - your dog reads your body language, hand signals teach your dog to pay closer attention to you, obeying your silent commands
BEHAVIOR PROBLEM SOLVING – you will receive assistance on modifying unwanted behaviors such as jumping up, barking, leash pulling, aggression, digging, running away, and others

One of our staff trainers will be able to provide you with a demonstration of the above commands in your free pre-enrollment evaluation.
