OUR PRIVATE DOG TRAINING PROGRAMS:
“Life is Good”
This program is perfect for the family that just wants to get a few things under control for daily practical stuff. The main goal in this program is being able to go for a leash walk happily and peacefully without dragging you down the street or ripping your arm off when the dog sees a squirrel, another dog, or other people.
Imagine being able to keep your dog from jumping on you when you come home, no longer nipping at the kids or at your hands when you try to pet them, sitting politely when asked and even leaving things alone (or dropping your shoes and dish towels!) when you say.
Manners for calm greeting when meeting people and other dogs is included in this pro gram. This program is great for the previous dog owner, that just needs a little help with a new dog.
