Boy and dog at laptop.EVEN THE BEST DOGS NEED TRAINING and we're here to help.  Training dogs, teaching handlers and instructors is our profession-not a hobby.  So therefore, why look anywhere else!

It's not often that one wakes up and just can't wait to get to work. I get to play with the puppies each and every day!  How great is that? I have worked with the best trainers in the industry and have over 25 years successfully teaching folks how to train their dogs of all ages and breeds covering basic and advanced obedience in group, private and semi-private sessions.

Over the years, we've appeared in a couple of local cable TV shows and "starred" in a pet product infomercial with our own dogs. I was also one of two obedience instructors that contributed to the "Ask the Trainer" column in the monthly Pet Pourri magazine in addition to 26 feature articles in 6 newspapers.   We have hosted seminars for local shelters and clubs.  We've also had "stage time" to demonstrate basic and advanced obedience exercises at many of the local town festivals. We've brought therapy dogs to assisted living centers and have sponsored classes at many suburban park districts. I enjoy what I do and we have a lot of fun in our classes while getting the job done.

Recipe for Success:

Exercise (play)
Walk (dogs love to leave and then return to the “den”)
Training and then a ‘cool down’ (calming, transition) phase
Repeat later in the day

It doesn’t have to be much.  Begin with daily walks to the mailbox or to pick up the newspaper.  Maybe their new job will be to lie down while you are having dinner or while changing the baby.  How about having them accompany you while picking up the kids from school?  I’m sure you can think of many ideas that will suit both you and your dog.  Quite often, all you have to do is be observant of the little things they are good at and enjoy and expand from there.

 

We offer two types of courses.

1.  Counseling and training for the family pet
2.  Career course for Instructors

HOW MANY OF THESE AREAS CAN YOU CHECK OFF?

 

Chews   Won’t come when called
Pulls on leash   Jumps on people
House soils   Digs
Runs away   Barks excessively
Selective hearing   Just plain bratty


AND MORE!

These problem areas (and more) are covered in our private and semi-private sessions.  Believe me, we've all been there and you can learn how to control these situations. To ensure personal attention, your semi-private class size is limited to 6 participants and their dogs.  If you can spend just two - fifteen minute sessions per day with your dog, you will see amazing results during the first week alone.

Ever thought about becoming an obedience instructor?  31 years ago that was probably the last thing on my mind!  As most in this profession, we have a “problem child” and over time are so impressed with the results that we decide we would like to spread the word to others.  Quite possibly,  that is something you have given some thought to but didn’t know where to turn?  Well, you've come to the right place.  It's a fascinating career as every day is a new adventure.
