What you need to know
Balanced Training Looks Like:
- Fun
- Fair
- Flexible
- Functional
Your dog needs you to be the handler they need, and often times that looks like a stern voice, a strong stance, and a leadership mentality.
You can expect to learn how to set boundaries, get respect, and teach basic commands and manners. All while building their confidence and relationship with you.
We'll give food, use the crate, use their leash, and have them work for life's pleasures.
Step 1: Evaluate
I to understand your life style and your concerns regarding your dog, so first an evaluation questionnaire will be sent to you to fill out. Then we can schedule a meet and greet lesson to create a plan.
Step 2: Meet and Greet ($40)
A meet and greet gives you the opportunity to ask questions, learn about the training program, then decide if you want to move forward. Think about what experiences you want with your dog. Then we'll talk about how training will look for you, and even demonstrate a basic technique I teach. This $40 will be deducted from the training package.
Step 3: Take Action
When you say yes, you commit to training your dog everyday. Once the program starts, you get lifelong assistance with me. I'll always be a phone call/text/or email away. Click below to get started!
Some thoughts...
How Do You Live With A Dog?
I get it.
How do you live with a wild, energetic dog that is so stinkin' cute?
Dogs have evolved with us for over 30,000 years...
Think about that.
They have been able to work their ways into our homes and into part of our daily lives, sometimes for no good reason other than being cute.
But, we must remember where the dog comes from.
What their natural instincts are and how we can nurture their experience here with us.
We live with these 4 legged K-9's who have sharp teeth, and fur so cuddly you could sleep on it.
So what do you do when they start to destroy things? Get in the trash? Become anxious while you're away?
We bring them back to what they instinctually know.
Hunt, Eat, Sleep, Repeat.
That's a little simple, but it's the main idea.
We figure out ways to incorporate their K-9 world into our human world.
Our modern society looks and sounds a lot different than the typical forest and den scenario.
So, you can imagine it will take some adaption, understanding, and patience to get them where you want them to be.
With the right method of introduction, you can enjoy taking your dog with you to the coffee shop, to work, or to the ball game with the kids.
You can utilize the tools in your home to make living together harmoniously, while still getting the comfort of holding your dog or having alone time away from them.
It all takes balance.
And I'm here to tell you, life with a dog can be stressful, or it can be manageable, or it can be thriving.
I'm here to see you THRIVE.
