Not all training is the same.
If you're adopting a new shelter dog or puppy, you need a lot of information, fast. But too many trainers want to sell you a "package," and each lesson might cover just one or two obedience skills.
Our new puppy/dog lesson is your own "mini seminar" in what your dog is thinking, how he learns, what she needs to know to succeed - and how YOU can set yourself up for the best success possible. ONE lesson gives you the basics. It's long - usually two hours or more - but is one lesson as opposed to the "package" of lessons you might be quoted elsewhere. A second lesson, if you want or need it, refines your dog's skills and your ability to communicate with them.
You don't have to buy a series of lessons to have a good dog, and the best training trains YOU. Because real training doesn't happen with your trainer's hands on your dog. It happens when you learn how to do it yourself, in the little interactions that happen between your family and your new addition, day after day.
If you want a good dog, it's not going to happen in a big class. It's going to happen when you and your dog know what to expect and how to listen to each other, day after day. Best to start off right, as soon as you bring your new furry family member home, not after the behaviors are established and you're all mad at each other.
