What i do
Complimentary Dog Training.
I know training can be expensive, there is a lot to learn. Thats why at DPC I want to offer free dog training. During the visits I will be able to see the unwanted behaviors you need help with. I will give you tips and advice to help get you where you want to be with your dogs.
Maybe your dog is barking at house guest or maybe you can't take them on walks because of the reactiveness towards people, dogs or something else. Or maybe your dog is showing aggression towards people, whatever it is I want to help.
Before a discission is made to surrender a dog or abandon a dog, reach out to me first. I want to give you the tools and knowledge you will need to successfully live happily with your dog.
Complimentary phone consultations.
I have helped so many people pinpoint their dog's behavior issue and help solve the problems over the phone. If I can help you over the phone and you're willing to put in the time, then let's set up a phone consultation.
I can help you set up a training plan that suits you and your family. We can set up weekly chats to go over your progress and work through any issues.
Weekly classes.
I host dog training classes every week at a local dog and cat rescue. For a $20 donation to that rescue, you are able to attend one of these classes with your dog. I go over leash pressure training and how to communicate with your dog.
Walk your dog
What is the 'Walk your Dog' Movement.
The 'Walk your dog' movement is me encouraging people to get out and walk their dogs. So many unwanted behaviors can go away by walking your dogs.
Walking a dog helps dogs to unwind, helps them relieve pent up energy. You may have a dog that chews everything, or a dog that paces or gets into trash, a lot of these behaviors can go away by simply walking your dog more.
Think about it like this, we the owners can relax after a long day at work by reading, watching tv or scrolling on our phones. Our dogs don't get that, while we have been at work they have been staring at four walls all day. So, if they have been in a crate all day instead of just letting them loose in the backyard for a few minutes or hours, take them on a walk. A little walk to the end of your street is better than nothing. A backyard is not enough for some dogs, they need to be mentally worked as well.
If you can't take your dog on a walk because of pulling or barking than work on training your dog. This is where you would hire a trainer or give me a call.
Dogs don't naturally know how to walk on a leash, it is up to us to teach them.
