Here at Four Paws Down I offer positive dog training for all breeds and ages. Consultations are available by appointment for those who are unsure at which level of training to begin their pet or have questions regarding the training curriculum and/or behavior modification training. You may contact me, Toni Skinner, at (757) 235-5521 or via email [email protected] with any questions or to

schedule a consultation. So many people struggle with obedience training and deal with behavioral issues that can be addressed with training, understanding, consistency and committment. I love to see the light that comes on when pet owners make break throughs with their dogs. Especially those owners that in the past have simply "settled" for certain behaviors or lack of training with their pets. I encourage the entire household to participate in the training of your four legged family member. Consistency is going to be one of the main keys to you and your pet's success!

After seeing one of my videos of my daycare dogs and my pups performing the “wait” command, a client and I had a discussion about the verbal cues that I use the most with the dogs. After “Wait”, the “Place” command is the next most used command around here. I use the words “Go to your bed” instead of “Place”. Verbiage doesn’t matter as long as your dog understands the action associated with the verbal cue. I like to teach commands that are actually going to be useful in the real world and this is one of those. Even if a dog has never gone through training with me; if they attend daycare regularly here, they will learn this command.

How I get to the door without being run over by a mob of dogs 😭 Every dog that comes to me for daycare learns this command. If they already know it, it gets reinforced here daily. ❤️

Today was Lilly’s first day at daycare. She was a little shy at first, but she eventually got comfortable with the other dogs and did great. 🥰
