Dog Training: It's About A Good Relationship With Your Dog
You can have a well trained dog! Do you want a dog that pays attention to you, and obeys you when you give a command? Do you want your dog to come when called, to walk nicely on a leash, to obey off leash and in public? And do you want your dog to learn all this without the use of harsh training methods or electric collars?
Call me, and let’s talk about your situation. Learn proper dog training methods which will fit the temperament of your dog, teach your dog proper manners, and solve problems you are having. Dog training is an INVESTMENT in your dog and your home that will pay off in years of enjoyment, peace of mind, and could save your dog’s life one day.

It is important to work dogs in "drive", meaning that you use methods that will motivate your dog. It is UNNATURAL for a dog to obey just because you force them to do it. I incorporate treats and toys into the obedience for maximum performance... the same thing that competitive obedience trainers do to win titles. To maximize your dog's performance, you need to master this concept. Rough stuff will just turn them into unhappy "robots". Yes, we also use leash and collar, but in the end, your dog needs to like the training and enjoy working with you. Here I am activating this dog's prey drive. This is an example of a really trainable Ameican Bulldog.
You will learn to combine advanced techniques such as: positive treat, collar and leash techniques, plus implement lots of very cool training tips. Not all pets can or should be trained the same way. You will get individualized coaching for your situation and your pet. Looking for an excellent trainer? You’ve come to the right place!
That's me... giving a Behavioral Seminar to the Southern States Rottweiler Rescue in Monroe, LA. What a great group! I'll never forget that trip!
Behavior Modification: I am an experienced dog behaviorist. Want to know: “why does my dog bite me?” Or: “my dog doesn’t like strangers. What can I do about it?” Are you saying that “my dog is too friendly”, and you want some solutions that don’t include being rough on your dog? Want to know how to manage your dog’s barking? Or… Looking for a “dog whisperer”? Many behavioral problems, including aggression, can often be controlled and/or solved. Is your dog having trouble with anxiety, barking, begging, biting, chasing, chewing, digging, dominance, excitement urination, fear, fighting, growling, jumping, house training/ potty training, mounting, mouthing, shyness, submissive urination, etc? Do you have a problem dog? Or are you seeking special classes for a dog that is dangerous with other dogs or strangers or family members? Call now!

You Need Training, Too! IT IS BEST IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE LESSONS. A trained dog with an untrained owner, is like not having a trained dog at all. This is the place to learn what you need to know to enjoy your dog. There are no quick fixes. We are NOT going to promise a fully trained dog in under a week. Top trainers ALWAYS take the necessary time to teach the foundational exercises to the handlers and then to the dogs. If you are being told otherwise, promised a fully trained dog in under a week, you are dealing with a “shock collar trainer”. Wouldn’t you rather have a coach help you learn proper technique, attitude, and methods? Important: If you are getting angry or frustrated with your dog, PLEASE STOP! I can help!
Training should be fun for the dog. I trained these dogs, "Baron" and "Diva". I have many repeat customers
