Many owners do not have time to dedicate to the commitment of training their dogs properly. Depending on the type of training selected, your dog could receive as many as two or three 30-45 minute training segments a day, six days a week or as many mini sessions that are needed to accomplish the goals. Instructions for continued success with the training are then transferred to the owners, with additional follow-ups as needed.

Fetch and Come when called
Many owners need to provide their dogs with more exercise than they have time for, and the ‘Fetch and Come’ game is perfect this. It is designed to promote the human as leader, while giving the dog additional exercise, plus you end up having a really fun time with your dog. (Come when called off leash is not accomplished with this program.) [more Fetch & Come details]
   
Housebreaking
Housebreaking is one of the most difficult tasks to dog ownership. Many owners don’t have time to get their dog on track with housebreaking. I can! Your dog will be trained to potty on a schedule you can live with. [There’s a whole lot of “P” in housebreaking], but with the Praise, Persistence, Perseverance, and Patience, I can Provide… we’ll get it done.  [more Housebreaking details]
    
Walk on a Loose Lease & Pay Attention
Dogs must be 5 months of age. Your dog will learn not to pull on the leash, and to look to you for guidance. He will learn to sit beside you when you stop and be attentive to you. Teaching your dog a reliable sit command and having him focus his attention on you goes a long way towards eliminating many dog owner's 'problems'. It gives your young dog the self-control needed to accomplish additional training. [more Walk on a Loose Lease details]
