TESTIMONIAL

Jennifer,

Coco is less agitated by dogs and people walking by.  The rotten weather has limited the opportunities but those that we have had, have been much better.  He’s also very good at sitting/staying at the front door, and while awaiting his dinner.

Also, although Kimberly and I are both getting quite a “bath” on a regular basis as Coco tries to get our attention, there is much less biting and digging at our hands. This means less pushing him away and less strong verbal “Stop! Down! No!” to Coco , which in turn keeps him calmer and sets a better example for Riley (Steve and Kimberly's son).

Thank you so much for your guidance and help.

Steve (Coco's owner)

Day Training is a specialized program that accepts only one or two applicants at a time. A Certified Professional Dog Trainer will visit your house while you are at work, running errands, taking kids to school, etc.  

This program is limited to residents of Auburn, Kent, Covington, and Maple Valley

Why have a certified trainer come to your house?

• Convenience: you don't have to make time in your busy schedule to get to class, or worry about driving your dog across town each week

• Companionship: home-alone dogs will appreciate the chance to break up their long day with play and training

• Mental stimulation: training helps prevents boredom-related behavior problems, such as chewing and barking

• Reliability: Unlike send-away or “boot camp” style training programs, your dog will learn what he needs to do in your own home and neighborhood, which makes his behavior more consistent and reliable

• You Learn Too: Our special “owner update” sessions show you how to get your dog to do what he’s been trained to do, and how to maintain his new behavior so that he will always listen to you when and where it matters most

• Proven Methods: our methods are scientifically sound and dog friendly. Your dog will look forward to his training sessions with us and have fun learning new skills

• Speed: By learning from a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, your dog will pick up on training much more quickly compared to a six-week obedience class

Especially for puppies!  Bringing a puppy home is an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming. We can help! This special program is only for puppies four months of age and younger. We provide your puppy with the socialization he or she needs to grow up to be a social, well-adjusted adult dog.  We will work on manners skills in a fun, age appropriate way that will engage your puppy - you decide which skills are important to you, and which skills you want your puppy to learn.  We will also teach your puppy to greet people politely (no jumping), control puppy nipping, and teach your puppy to walk nicely on leash without pulling.  This package also helps with potty training issues by giving your pup a potty break in the middle of the day, so your puppy doesn't have to "hold it" all day long.   

For puppies under 4 months of age

This two week program covers the same skills learned in a six-week Basic Manners class and is great for dogs and owners who are just starting out. Your dog will learn to pay attention and listen to you at home and in your neighborhood. We will cover basic obedience behaviors such as sit, lie down, stay, walking nicely on leash without pulling, and coming when you call. More importantly though, we will teach your dog the skills she needs to be a polite companion, such as not jumping on you or your guests, settling down when she gets excited, and “leave it”  so that you can stop her from eating icky stuff she finds on walks. 

For dogs of any age.

This program is especially for those dogs who exhibit “problem” behaviors. Does your dog growl or snap when you get too close to his food bowl or toys? Is it impossible to brush him, trim his toenails, or look in his ears? Does he lunge and bark at other dogs or people when you take him on a walk? Many problem behaviors like these can be frustrating and embarrassing to deal with, but we can help. The Problem Solving program is customized for each dog. It typically includes a pre-screening appointment to evaluate the severity of your dog’s behavior problem and devise a game plan for dealing with it. Because every dog is different, the number of sessions and the amount of time will vary for each dog.
