No dog is perfect and sometimes problem behaviors crop up. This is true with puppies as well as more mature dogs who can develop bad habits. 

 

Targeted training sessions get to the root of these behaviors to fix them. We start by understanding why the dog is engaging in the behavior. Next, we reinforce alternative behaviors, set the environment up for the dog's success, and consistently require and reward the new behavior.

This approach corrects:

  • Jumping

  • Nipping

  • Barking

  • Begging

  • Chewing

  • Digging

  • And other behaviors

A WELL TRAINED DOG JUST MAKES LIFE BETTER.

Research shows that spending quality time with a dog can positively impact your mood and health, and decrease stress. They also help increase our social connections. So let's get right to the good stuff with a well-behaved dog that will make your home more fun, friendly, cuddly and, well, homier!

 

The big secret about dog training is that it’s actually people training. Change your behavior and your dog will change his!

 

Fortunately, dogs are rational and predictable. Reward them with things they want (attention, food treats, fun toys) when they do things you like and they will do them more. Remove things they crave when you don’t like a behavior and they will learn to stop it.

 

Positive dog training works with your dog’s inherent drives and motivations to shape behavior in loving ways that make living together more rewarding, harmonious and just plain wonderful for both you and your dog.

​

Every dog needs to master some basic skills and behaviors to be a cherished part of your home and a welcome visitor elsewhere, like the patios of our wonderful Dallas restaurants.

​

Depending on the age and needs of your dog, we start with basic House Training and move on to Sit, Loose Leash Walking, Down, Stay, Leave It and Come.

 

Although these skills require practice and consistency, we can introduce you and your dog to all  these concepts in one two-hour private session.  

You're busy and it's hard to add a weekly class to your schedule. Personal, in-home training ensures we can focus 100% on your needs efficiently and cost-effectively.
