Your dog or puppy lives in my house and receives daily training. I send you at least 2 updates a week via text or email so you can see your dog's progress and learn what he/she is learning while with me. I focus on teaching your dog to relax and be calm, which is very difficult for most dogs to learn but is the key to good behavior. Your dog gets to go on field trips so he/she understands that the good behavior learned is required everywhere. Imagine a stress free and enjoyable walk with your dog!
You have homework that will be emailed to you once your dog is here so that you can learn some of the commands. It is light reading along with videos to help you become more familiar with the training. Near the end of the weeks, we have 2 Go Home Sessions where I teach you everything you need to know to keep up with your dog's new behavior and training. As with any training program there is maintenance involved after your dog leaves, but I teach you how to incorporate it into daily routines so you're training while doing chores, etc. My goal is for you to be happy and confident when you leave here with your dog! I'm also really patient and great at explaining things so questions are encouraged.
I have found that prong collars and e-collars are wonderful tools to use to help me communicate with dogs. Prong collars provide equal pressure around a dog's neck which makes them slightly uncomfortable to pull against, but do not hurt your dog. These are tools you don't need to phase out, they work so I definitely recommend that you stick with them once you get your dog home.
There is a contract to fill out, proof of your dog's up to date vaccinations, up to date rabies certificate and dogs must be on a flea/tick and heartworm preventative. You supply all of your dog's food while here.
E-Collar and Prong Collar are not included in this package. I will have some for sale or tell you the exact models I use and recommend so you can get them.
