Training
PT, Behavioral Counseling and Modification
Individualized Personal Training involves one-on-one training with you and your dog. These sessions are ideal for pets with socialization problems that prevent them from interacting with other animals or with other behavioral issues that require more focused attention. Sessions run by the hour; length is determined by desired goals. Private classes and behavioral training are priced at $125.00/hour.
Basic Obedience I
This is a five week basic training course. While dogs of all ages are welcome, this course is commonly taken during a dog¹s adolescence (approximately 4 months 1 year). During this stage, your dog becomes more independent and self-confident as it establishes its identity. Negative behaviors that were not addressed with your puppy will be magnified during the adolescent stage, and learning to communicate effectively with your dog continues to be critical. This is a time of frustration for most owners. This class will help you understand how your current interactions may incite or encourage negative behaviors in your dog often the slightest changes can correct a large number of behavior problems. The commands heel, sit, down, stay and come are introduced during this course. Socialization is an important part of this class and is crucial in helping your dog become confidant and secure. Minimum age for this course is 4 months.
This 5 week program is $185.
Basic Obedience II
This four week course fine-tunes the skills learned in the Basic I class. Your dog will learn to focus for longer periods of time and to listen without you having to repeat commands so frequently. Distractions will be introduced to make the work more challenging for both you and your dog. The stay and come commands will be used in a more realistic manner, similar to what may happen in a home or park environment. Some off-leash work and agility equipment will be introduced.
This 4 week program is $165.
