Dog Training and Holistic Services

Starting with building a strong foundation to dog training this training program then continues with more advanced training and addressing complex behaviors, including socialization, public manners,  emergency commands, introduction to off-leash training, plus more for a well balanced, obedient and well mannered family dog.

*This is a coaching program and you must be present and able to work with your dog in each lesson.

Building a strong foundation in dog training is crucial for developing good behavior and obedience in dogs, and puppies. I like to think of this as the building blocks that support more advanced training with consistent results and more freedom in your dog's life.  This is where we begin to build the bridge in communication between the dog and owner and begin your training journey, and introduce obedience commands and dog manners, including leash walking.

*This is a coaching program

My unique homeschool for dogs program - the first of its kind in Florida - let's your dog stay in the comfort and security of your home while receiving daily training visits from me. This is an ideal alternative to boards and train programs. Unlike my coaching programs where you have to be present each training lesson and work hands-on with your dog, homeschool I do the daily training lessons with your dog, working your dog through the Training and Beyond Program

Is a multi-week commitment and I ask that you are available at the end of each week to review your dog's progress and partake in a dog training lesson with your dog.

Home school is not suitable for dogs with severe behavior problems or aggression as owner must be present during training for more serious behavior programs.

I may suggest we start with a behavior and training consultation if your dog has more serious behavior problems, fears or phobias. 

For more information on my dog training programs, pricing, and learn which program is best suited to your training goals please give me a call and I will be happy to learn about your dog and how I can help you bring out the best in your dog.

Both Foundation and Training and Beyond training programs are available for puppies. Of course the puppy programs focus on foundations of puppy training and introduction to obedience along with your most common puppy behaviors like potty training, crate training, chewing, nipping, and leash walking being addressed.

Like my unique homeschool for dogs program - the first of its kind in Florida - I offer a puppy home school too.  Puppies can be a lot of work and time consuming so getting them on a routine that works for your home is important. Homeschool takes the stress and time off your busy schedule while I get to work training your pup!

Is your new puppy arriving soon, or maybe has just joined your family? This can be a great way to get started right away with routines like, potty training, crate training, diet and feeding routine taking the stress and guesswork away and starting you out successfully and positively with your pup.

I am always happy to answer your general questions.

I do, on a very limited basis. While I feel the majority of dogs are extremely successful with in-home dog training programs, I do realize that there are some dogs (and owners) that will gain extra benefit from  board and train living with the dog trainer in an immersion program.  Reasons for this can vary and is very much an individualized program.

For many puppy owners the most challenging part of puppyhood is the early weeks with their new puppy prior to the 16 weeks age mark.  Establishing potty training routine, crate training routine, sleeping overnight, biting everything , introducing the leash and training commands.  My puppy camp is designed for these owners and pups who need a little extra help and may be limited with a busy schedule.

I offer free telephone evaluations to learn more about your dog or puppy so I can recommend the best training program to match your training needs and goals.
