We adopted our puppy in July and struggled to find a decent dog trainer. Most wanted to use an e-collar, which according to my research, increases the stress level of the dog. One of our friends recommended Becky, and we're glad they did. She's significantly better than the previous non e-collar trainer that we tried, and as a bonus, she charges a fraction of the cost. We have done some private lessons and some small class size lessons, and will continue to come here. They take credit cards via Square and there's ample parking.

TroublesBehindMe.com - Check it out. Bark charges me $12 for your info and often the leads are not really looking. So if you want me to respond via this format you must include a note in the details. I will not respond to "quote request," "interested in" or "discuss with a trainer" without details or expressed interest. YES. I have an excellent setup and training for ONLINE SESSIONS.

Jeff is a wonderful guy and dog trainer. He worked with me around my anxieties walking my dog around our new complex. We moved somewhere with a lot more dogs than Milo is used to and that showed. Jeff helped me learn to be more confident and helped Milo be more comfortable on his walks. I couldn’t recommend Jeff’s services more! Thank you Jeff! You made our life on walks much easier:)

Jerry and Danyelle have been training dogs since 2014 and we specialize in puppy training and socialization, basic obedience, advanced obedience, behavior modification, and personal protection. They are trainers who work with owners to achieve reliable obedience and change in their dogs, regardless of breed or size. They understand those moments where your dog performs unwanted behaviors can be frustrating, so we offer FREE consults/evaluations over the phone or in person. We offer private lessons, where we meet weekly to explain to owners how to teach their dog commands and how to apply those commands in everyday situations. This method tend to take longer as it is up to the owner to train the dog. We cannot train the dog ourselves with one session once a week. We also have a board and train program where we train the dog ourselves in our home and transfer the obedience to the owner. We offer all dogs who come to us for either private lessons or our board and train program lifetime support and unlimited free handling lessons (if the dog has to be taught or re-taught a command, then it is no longer a handling lesson and will be a charged private lesson). Given enough of a heads up, we also can board your dog while you are away. Prior training isn't required for dogs to board with us but we do require aggressive dogs to be conditioned and wearing the muzzle for drop off.
What we love most about our job is how it never gets old. Even though the training itself is generally the same, each dog is different. They have their own little personalities that can really shine and flourish under the right leadership and training which in turn, bring their own unique challenges to the table. The hardest part of our job is transferring that leadership to the owner, as people tend to have as many bad habits as the dog, but once everything comes together, it's extremely rewarding to see the owner build their confidence with their dog and get the dog that they wanted, or as close to it as we can get.
We had worked for pet store chains and private kennels and found that neither institutions were satisfactory with providing both owners and dogs the tools they need to be successful. Pet store chains are cheaper for owners but have a lot of regulations as to tools that can be used, the employees aren’t properly equipped to handle all dogs/situations, and dogs that are allowed in the workspace. A lot of times, the people who need the most help are the ones who are turned away from the store. Private Kennels can be more flexible in terms of training ideologies and tools used, but they also don't provide the complete picture. Your dog is learning in a kennel environment and a lot of time doesn't go through training in a more relaxed home setting. It can be very stressful for your dog because they may not be used to a kennel life and/or the other dogs in the kennel can be intimidating for your dog with the craze that can occur when people go to take dogs out for training. Also, depending on the size of the kennel, your dog could be spending more time in the kennel than you are led to believe.
We wanted to provide both owners and rescues a home-environment training service. All the obedience is taught in our home, applied to everyday living, and then extended out into the public to provide dogs the best level of training we can provide. We want to provide owners and their dogs the highest level of success possible. That means training the dogs for success in the right environment and providing the owner with as much support as possible. We offer unlimited free handling lessons for all dogs that undergo training with us as well as lifetime support for owners and their dogs.
Clients should choose us because we aren't like every other trainer out there. We are actually using scientific based training that is systematically designed to help every owner with every dog. Even if another trainer is "balanced" do they use their tools fairly or do they just provide the quick fix? (HINT: These trainers offer a 3-week board and train program, often time regardless of the dog they have. Very few dogs can actually be trained fairly in 3 weeks, especially if they have issues. A lot of the time, the dog needs 5+ weeks). Do they remember to always reward the dog? Give them a reason to work for them? Dogs are not robots, they need to bond and feel like they are a part of the pack. Positive only trainers are completely missing all other aspects of learning. You can't ignore away aggression. If a dog really wants to bite someone or another dog, they will not care about the food in your hand. Also, they tend to make situations worse by rewarding the behaviors that we don't want and a lot of times recommend medications or euthanasia as a solution to dogs that are outside of their skill set.
At the end of the day, we treat your dog fairly and hold them accountable for their actions, just like we do with our own personal dogs. They are taught with patience, understanding, care, and of course food (or whatever motivates them)! But they are also taught that each command will be enforced, they will be expected to follow the command, and what happens as a result of ignoring or breaking commands. When training this way, truly reliable obedience is formed and aggression (if this is what they are in training for) is indirectly addressed because we are correcting the dog for breaking command, rather than their feelings of fear or wanting control. Teaching them that their emotions are valid, but they are expected to hold their commands, regardless of the situation. Teaching them that we have their best interests at heart and new ways to deal with situations, rather than what comes naturally to them. This is all done at a level that is motivational for your dog, whether that be a martingale collar, a slip lead, a gentle leader, a star mark collar, a prong collar, a choke chain, or an e-collar. And even then, with time, consistency, and patience, all tools can eventually be worked down and weaned off.
While there is a lot of push for online/remote training, we have not found this mode of communication to be successful with a majority of our clients.
We do not hold group classes, so it will be individual attention for private lessons and handeling lessons. We are both vaccinated and will maintain social distancing during these lessons when possible. If there is closer contact needed, we can mask up and provide santizer. As part of our regular cleaning protocols prior to COVID-19, floors and surfaces are washed in a diluted bleach solution twice a week to prevent disease transmission.
