AM I THE RIGHT TRAINER FOR YOU. AND ARE WE A GOOD FIT FOR ONE ANOTHER?

It’s very important that you understand my philosophy and training methods, and that I am a balanced trainer and what that means.Also I want you to be comfortable with the training tools I use, and to be excited about training your dog, as much as I will be.I will use praise and reward to train your dog. But also I will correct bad behaviors. So with clear communication, practice and follow through, setting them up to be successful.I am looking for clients who are 100% committed and open minded to my philosophy and methods.It’s going to be hard work, and they’ll be lots of homework. But if you incorporate it into your Lifestyle everyday, and start to see results. It will become second nature to you, and you will start to form a beautiful, balanced relationship making dog and human very happy!

DO YOU TRAIN WITH TREATS

Usually I do not. But I will use a dogs regular meal instead. Dogs love to work for things. So working for his meals, really makes him listen, and tune into the handler. It also doesn’t upset a dog stomach, and doesn’t put weight on. If for some reason your dog is not food motivated...Then I would spice it up with some treats.

WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING WILL YOU BE DOING

With balanced training, I will motivate your dog to say yes and no! That meaning I will tell him/her what is appropriate behavior and what is not. And with guidance, structure, rules and boundaries. I will guide and teach your dog how to achieve this. With clear communication, repartition, and follow through your dog will start to understand what we want!

WHY DO YOU USE PRONG COLLARS. DON’T THEY HURT

Nothing is farther from the truth. They are actually one of the most kind, gentle and effective tools, you can use to communicate with your dog. But you don’t want to just slap one on your dog and hope for the best. That’s what I will teach you, and your dog how to correctly and professionally use one. It is fitted high on the neck behind the ears, avoiding and protecting the trachea. This allows us to whisper to the dog instead of shouting. And within a very short space of time. Your dog will be calmer, more relaxed and in a following state of mind.

WHY DO YOU USE E COLLARS AND DONT THEY SHOCK THE DOGS?

Modern e collars, are a safe, reliable, and humane way of having an off leash dog. Through gentle communication you will be able to have an insurance policy, of your dog listening and coming back to you every time!The E Collar I use from E Collar Technology is the most safest and well made device on the market. This state of the art E Collar has levels ranging from 0-100. And all of the training is done using low level stimulation, that feels like a Tennis Unit you feel when visiting a chiropractor. And I always like to have my client feel the device so they know what the dog would be experiencing.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT PROGRAM I NEED

Don’t worry!, That is why I like to come and meet you and your dog, and give you a free evaluation. That way everyone feels comfortable and I can tell you Excatly what program would be best!

WHO WILL BE DOING THE TRAINING/TEACHING?

I will be working with you. I will guide and teach you and your dog, and give you the tools and knowledge, to set you up for success. But at the end of the day. It’s down to you. Lots of homework, rules , practice and follow through everyday. Remember a dog is not a machine. They are a living breathing ball of energy! It’s up to you to connect, learn, grow and achieve a balanced harmonious relationship!!
