What can we cover?

  • FUNDAMENTALS

    Leash work, crate, yes work, place + : These are critical for control, connection, building neutrality around stimuli and safety, especially in public spaces or when the dog needs to be secure at home.

  • E-COLLAR

    Learn to utilize the e-collar effectively and humanely. Incorporating the use of an e-collar also opens up a broader range of training techniques and methods for those who are interested or already utilizing this tool.

  • RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

    Build a strong, respectful relationship with your dog through understanding their communication cues, providing appropriate stimulation, and learning how to effectively use reward-based positive reinforcement.

  • BEHAVIOR

    We can address any behavior that comes up/is presented, including: reactivity, aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, or excessive barking, and more.

  • PLAY +

    Understanding what constitutes healthy play is key to ensuring your dog is socializing appropriately. We will cover using play to physically/mentally drain your pup, redirect behavior, fulfillment and impulse control.

  • BODY LANGUAGE

    Dogs communicate largely through body language. By understanding what their movements, posture, and facial expressions indicate, you'll be able to interpret their mood, stress level, and intentions. This helps prevent mishaps and misunderstandings between you and your dog, strengthening your relationship.

  • BASIC OBEDIENCE

    This will include commands like sit, stay, come and leave it.

  • NEUTRALITY

    Each of the components we review are integral to helping your dog become calm and neutral. We will go in depth on what neutrality is and how to achieve it.

  • IMPULSE CONTROL

    Impulse control is a major factor in neutrality. Working impulse control is necessary with all dogs and can have profound impacts on working through various behavioral issues
