IN-HOME DOG TRAINING
1st session 3 hrs $375 (for dog obedience, aggression, or personal protection)
We are dog trainers that come to your house. Is private in home dog training worth it? Yes, it is the most effective option for dog training. Here’s what we cover during the first visit.
Dog Pack Behavior – I will show you how to be a pack leader to your dog. If you make him want to please, everything becomes easier
Body Language – basic body language will help you with your dogs obedience. If needed, a more in depth plan covering aggressive dog body language is customized for dog aggression.
Leash Handling – In addition to walking, the lead is used for training. The leash is the most important phase of training. It eventually teaches the dog what the electric collar means (just as the food teaches the dog what the leash means).
Formal Training – We begin with positive reinforcement (food reward). Possibly advance to a training collar and leash. Usually not E-Collar the first session.
Genetic Behavior Assessment – Although history is king when it comes to dogs, you will also learn about your dogs temperament as we work with him. If your dog is not aggressive, you will learn a basic list of genetic traits for dog obedience purposes.
Dog Training Plan – There are many different “dog training methods” and “packages” these days. But long term performance is in the planning. Specific and general concepts are discussed in this first foundation session.
Command Structure – The audible template of your dog training program (How to say your dog’s name, command etc).
Travel time and gas included
next 1,2, or 3 sessions 90 min $180
During this next session you continue your dogs obedience from the 1st session. And I help you incorporate the rest of your dogs training plan.
By now, most clients and their dogs have made it to phase 2, even 3. This is where I hone in on your:
Command Structure – Paying attention when to see the dogs name, when to repeat the command, what not to repeat (avoiding a poisoned command), when to reinforce, when to release, etc!
Leash Technique – Pressure, pumps, anchor hand, free hand, how to occupy the entire leash in an instant, ability to control the dog
Control Reflexes – You will learn how much leash to give your dog and to avoid yanking or accidental signals.
Dog Obedience Communication – Training based on what he’s saying.
Your Body Language – Making your dog dependent on your verbal cue. Train him according to who you naturally are. He will listen when he’s not looking at you – Higher performance.
Canine Leadership – I will gently encourage you to increase your progress. With pack structure in place, you avoid formal obedience becoming a frustration to your dog.
Dog’s New Habits – your dog will avoid disobeying by offering new behaviors.
following sessions 1 hour $125
Your dog training techniques change as you and your dog advance. You cannot rush multiple techniques or phases because your dog will learn at his pace.
Ideally our sessions are weekly until your dogs program is complete. But we do not impose contracts. So if you are happy with your dog, that’s all that matters.
