Specialty class--Public Manners
DOGS MUST WALK DAILY!!!!  Did you know that dogs NEED to walk, it is part of their nature?? Running around in the yard is not enough! Cesar Millan says "Fish swim, birds fly, dogs must walk".  Every dog should have a 30-60 minute controlled walk every day.  This one change in your daily routine can totally modify your dogs behavior at home and create a much more mellow home environment for the whole family.  I challenge you to try it for a week and note the change in your dog's behavior!!!

Does your dog listen well at home and even in your yard but does not hear you in public? Does your dog pull on his leash or lunge at other dogs and people? Or does your dog act out at home because you cannot even try to walk him daily? Join us on any four Sundays that work for you for our PUBLIC MANNERS class where we meet in local parks out in public around real life distractions. Attend the 75-90 minute classes where we will work on Sit, Down, Stay, 'sit to be greeted' and polite walking around people, dogs, bikes, kids, skateboards, cars, joggers, hamburger wrappers, SQUIRRELS and such! Jump in and join us any time! We meet every Sunday at 11:00 am. Attend any 5 classes for $100. Classes meet in a different location each session and an email is sent each Friday night or Saturday morning to announce that weeks meeting location.

Private Consults
         
               
A private consult in your home, the dogs normal environment, allows for quick learning and progress.  This type of service is ideal for dogs who are ill mannered at the front door, are not eliminating outdoors consistently, are having  "pack" issues with siblings, are pulling on the leash, or are jumping on guests.   This service is also perfect for the first time dog owner, a family aquiring a new dog from a rescue organization or someone adopting a puppy who wants to get started on the right foot.

$100 per hour (consultant travel time included)
For private consults please call 919-414-6181 or send email to

Group Classes
 
     Group classes are a great way to teach your dog basic commands and basic manners.  The purpose of these programs is to educate you on the fundamentals of pet dog behavior and care so that you can communicate clearly with your pet. We can help develop a strong and mutually respectful relationship between you and your dog.  
     Our most popular class is Public Manners where we meet in various parks and go out into real life for a walk with other canine students.  The every day distractions are just what your shy or rowdy dog needs to learn to behave well in public.  Meet other dog lovers and have a fun walk.  Owners are always surprised at their dogs improvement!
     In Obedience 101 the commands that are learned are:
Come, Down, Down-stay, Release, Greet people on leash, Leave it, Off, Sit, Sit-stay, Staying at a distance, Wait at doors, Wait to eat, Walking beside you on leash (Heeling), and you also receive telephone consultations between sessions as needed.
     In Advanced Obedience we will solidify all the work done in Obedience 101 and also learn: Drop it, Greet people and dogs on leash, Staying with distractions, Stand, and you also receive telephone consultations between lessons  as needed.
     Group Lessons are either 4 weeks long or 6 weeks long.  The 4 week classes are $100 and the 6 week sessions are $125.
     See more group classes such as Puppy Kindergarten, Rally Obedience, Manners Off Leash and Fun and Games with your Dog on the class schedule.

In Home Training .............bootcamp for your dog!
  
DO YOU WANT YOUR DOG TRAINED BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT YOURSELF?
DO YOU WISH YOUR DOG WOULD  BEHAVE BETTER AOUND THE HOUSE AND AROUND OTHER DOGS?
GOING OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW WEEKS?  WHY NOT LEAVE YOUR PUP FOR TRAINING!
 
This is for the dog owner who is too busy to properly socialize a puppy or rescue dog.  Or a family going on vacation who wants the dog to have crash course while they are away. If this sounds like your life, then this is a good choice for you and your dog.
 

This training option is when you pay the trainer to do the work for you. The training takes 3-4 weeks. The training is specific to your wishes and needs but can include:

    1. Obedience ; Sit stay, down stay, come when called, heel (walk without pulling) and to pay attention to you even with all the distractions.
    2. Breaking bad habits ; Jumping-up, excess barking, running through the door without permission, digging and chewing.
    3. Instilling good manners ; 'go to your place' , "back away', 'excuse me', waiting at doors, sitting for dinner
    4. Socialization; He will learn how to socialize properly and have good manners with other people and other dogs.
    5. Specific issues resolved for your dog.

    Your dog will stay in the trainers home (a house and a yard), not a kennel.

When the training is finished, you will receive a lesson on how to handle your dog and what he responds to, so you can continue his training.

You will also be welcome to call me at any time after the lesson if you have any problems or questions.

The cost for this service is $550 for each week or $80.00 a day for shorter stays.
