Remote Collar Training or Problem Solving, Lessons are Customized to Fit Your Goals
I teach private lessons in your home. Often most people want just a few changes in their dog's behavior and not a formal obedience program.
During our first meeting I speak with everyone living in the household and take an extensive history on your dog. We'll establish your household's training goals and determine how to meet those goals so you can work together as a team to bring about change in yourselves and your dog, or teach your dog specific skills.
Remote Collar training is appropriate for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I love teaching remote collar training because it is quick, effective and straight-forward as a tool to communicate with your dog. Owners enjoy learning the remote collar because we keep sessions short, upbeat and make sure your dog is happy and confident throughout the process. We pace learning based on your skill development and confidence level as well as your dogs.
If you are not interested in Remote Collar training you may benefit from a session or two to discuss and implement changes in your household for better management of your dog, and to bring about behavioral changes over the longer term.
Let the Games Begin!
Dogs need to be dogs. They will always have the need to use their mouth and body to express their innermost doginess. I can help you learn fun, positive, high energy games to build your relationship with your dog and keep them a fulfilled canine.
More About Remote Collar Training
I use the gentle E-Touch Method of remote collar training. I learned this method from Martin Deeley of the
International School for Dog Trainers, where I received a certificate in Basic E-Touch Training. Martin Deeley was named British Gun Dog Trainer of the Year in 2007 by his peers. He is also a writer and commentator who is renown throughout Europe and America as an authority on training both dogs and their owners.
The E-Touch method uses the collar at the LOWEST possible level of stimulation your dog will recognize and respond to. Martin refers to it as "a tap on the shoulder." When used in this manner, the remote collar becomes a communication device, not a punishing device.
My goal with remote collar training is to help you achieve a happy, tail wagging dog who willingly executes your commands on or off leash, even under distractions. Please refer to my
Remote Collar FAQ for more information.
