Training Programs by Behavior
I have split up the training into programs targeting a specific behavior simply to give you a better idea of what to expect. These are arbitrary categories simply made for ease of human communication. Dog behavior generally doesn't fit into a neat box. This is why I create a customized training plan for each dog. The programs below are just a jumping off point.
If I don't have a specific behavior called out into a program, that doesn't necessarily mean I cannot address the behavior. Just contact me and we can chat about it!
Does your dog have a really hard time settling? Are they always go-go-go and pestering you for attention, or getting into trouble? Do they seemingly have a never-ending supply of energy?
Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs or at new people? This can be if they're super excited, or showing more aggressive behavior.
Does your dog stiffen, growl, or guard certain places, things, or people?
Does your dog tend to be very fearful or anxious most of the time? Does adding something new into their environment cause them to act out or shut down? (note at this time I do not take separation anxiety cases)
Prey Drive Difficulty
Does your dog's desire to chase outside critters make walks impossible? Are they terrorizing the local wildlife?
Extreme Inattention
Does it seem like no matter what you do, your dog just won't pay attention to you? Is the interest in the environment just so high that you can't see how to compete?
Training Program Overview
No matter what behaviors you want to address in your dog, the training programs are all very similar. Each is tailored to the specific behavior issue you want to address with your dog, but the structure is very similar. Below is the standard "path" for all training.
Each program begins with a two-part Intro Lesson. Next is ~3-6 weeks of Supported behavior-specific Training. Next is 2-4 weeks of independent training, followed by the Follow-Up Meeting to address things that came up during your independent training
The Supported Training is the bulk of the program and for most dogs and most behaviors, I offer two "Tracks", the Coaching Track, and the Pro Daytrain Track.
In the Coaching Track, we meet weekly during the supported training, and then between meetings, you train your dog independently, generally at least four dedicated training sessions a week. Sessions are typically 5-10 minutes.
In the Pro Daytrain Track, we still meet weekly during the supported training, but between meetings I come to your home and work directly with your dog four times a week. I still require you do do one independent training session a week with your dog.
