My 2 Specials
My on going special: Show me your adoption paperwork from a rescue or adoption facility and get a 25% off your lessons. (adoption discount is for dogs adopted within 30 days of our lesson). My special for Sept 2025: get a 50% discount on all dog training lessons, does NOT include Board & Train. Prices listed below. (Specials cannot be combined together)
I offer personalized training sessions focused on your dog’s specific needs.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of dog behavior issues, regardless of how challenging they may seem.
Aggression/Reactivity towards dogs, cats, or humans (including children), bikes, skateboards etc. Aggression/Reactivity, of any type, WILL require a minimum of 5 daily or 5 weekly lessons, depending on the severity. This is non-negatable!
Resource guarding can turn into aggression if not delt with immediately.
Excessive barking towards other animals and people, delivery drivers, etc.
Destructive behaviors: chewing household items, digging holes in the yard, chewing the interior of car, getting into the trash, stealing food, etc.
Leash issues: pulling, walking politely at your side, door bolting.
Anxiety and fear: separation issues at home or in the car, running away, and impulse control challenges.
Jumping: on people, furniture, fences, car windows.
Obedience Training. Essential commands and skills, including heeling (walking calmly by your side), sit/stay, down/stay, place commands, and recall training (coming when called).
Crate training. Establishing a safe and comfortable space for your dog to relax in.
Behavioral Modification. Customized strategies to correct problematic behaviors.
Additionally, I have a renowned reputation both in the US and Europe, for specializing training of dogs for the Schutzhund sport and home safety. With my 55 years of experience, I can tackle even the most challenging behaviors. Other trainers often refer serious cases to me, knowing I can make a positive difference. My clients also benefit from free consultations for 30 days after our lesson on what we have been working on. For more information or to discuss your dog's needs, please contact me today. Please take this into consideration if you are not committed to working with your dog daily, on your own, then no amount of training, trainers, books or internet will help you to modify your dogs behavior. Weekly lessons from a professional should be taken into consideration when you book your 1st lesson to achieve your desired results.
