Why Train a Dog

No need to pay thousands of dollars to understand your dog. This is not a franchise. We use only modern up to date science based positive reinforcement training, which means it will not damage your relationship with your dog by using punitive methods like e-collars or prong collars. You will learn techniques and skills to deal with normal dog behavior and provide a foundation for future dog / human activities. A trained dog is welcome at dog friendly public places and is less likely to end up in a shelter. A well behaved dog lifts many restrictions and allows the dog to live inside with it's human family.
Training also provides environmental and behavioral stimuli that is necessary for their psychological wellbeing. Early puppy training is important to develop social skills with other dogs and polite manners when meeting humans. (Not accepting aggressive dogs at this time).

Notes from your Trainer Eliza
When you hire me, your Dog's wellbeing is my first priority. I will give you my full attention so you and your dog have a great relationship. I will not sugar coat things so I will expect your full commitment in doing your assigned homework. Training results are accomplished by being consistent.
Keep in mind, depending on the needs of your dog, I may ask you to purchase additional tools that will help your dog like, activity toys, crates, baby gates, etc or I may suggest and refer you to other activity groups such as dock diving, agility or sheep herding or purchasing activity toys to prevent boredom. When it comes to results in training, you get out of it, what you put in. I look forward to working you and your dog.
