Edward Bear (Aussie) just finished his 6 week Shy Dog class. He started out running from all the dogs and people, couldn't stand his rear being touched and would bite if pushed. Last night he went up to a new dog and person, sniffed the dog and then sat down and begged for treats from the person. He worked the entire confidence course (TTeam) which he'd only attempted parts of before, he went through the tunnel for the first time (had never seen it before) and was offering behaviors to everyone in class. And he's been groomed by his owner - no more mats !!!! 
- Training is done by a professional and practiced around many distractions to create a dog that can behave in many different situations, not just a classroom.
- Training can be done while you are at work, so you get to come home to a dog who hasn’t just been sitting in its kennel all day.
- Our Day Training Programs are similar to “doggy boot camp” or Board & Train programs that you would send your dog away to, without having to send them away!
- With our Day Training programs, your mind is at ease knowing that your dog is at home with you each night while still getting the benefits of a professional doing the training for you
- Training that would take weeks or months can be accomplished in a shorter period of time
Depending on the type of program you choose for your dog, typically 2- 4 training sessions will be done each week one on one, just Jamie and your dog. Each training session is approximately 15 minutes long repeated 3 times during the 2 hours your dog is with us.
Transfer sessions will be done weekly to teach you what we have taught your dog. All programs are fully customizable to your specific needs. We understand that your dog may already know some of the behaviors listed in certain programs, in which case we can replace that with something he could use some help on.
