The Contented Pooch

In-home Basic Training

1-hour sessions per week, for 4 weeks

During our first session, we will discuss your concerns, including any undesirable behaviors. We'll go over what you hope to accomplish through training and set goals for you and your pooch. This will also give me an opportunity to observe your pet in the home.

 

As much as we all love our four legged family members, it's very important to remember that they are not human - they are canine. We have to do our best to respect that they're canine. With that said, canines are pack animals and seek leadership, which comes from you!

 

I emphasize positive reinforcement and strengthening the bond between humans and their pets, so it's very important that a majority of the training come from you and others in the home. I will walk you through a step by step training program in order to teach you the techniques you need. I'll also answer any questions you have in order to help you and your pooch reach your training goals.
