Do you need a Behavior Consultant or a Dog Trainer? A Behavior Consultant, through FURTHER EDUCATION NOT JUST TIME WORKING WITH DOG, gains the ability to safely work with major issues such as: Aggressive/Reactive behaviors, Predation, Fear (like separation anxiety), Phobias and obsessive behaviors. These major issues need someone more qualified to handle them thus they tend to cost more, but are behaviors you can't cheap out on. They can cost you as a law suit when a person get hurt or even you're dogs life! Don't let a trainer tell you they can cure these problems with a choke or prong collar THEY ARE PAINFUL TO YOUR DOG! Be wary of trainers who want to charge you for phone consults to fix these issues. THESE ARE BEHAVIORS THAT MUST BE DEALT WITH HANDS ON IN PERSON WITH A WELL EDUCATED CANINE PROFFESIONAL TO BE DONE SAFELY! Evaluation for dogs with major behavior issues: $200 if we come to you, $100 if you come to our Canine Behavior Center in Ramona. we will then be able to devise a plan to modify these behaviors safely and effectively.

Training teaches your dog rules, boundaries and limitations. Training teaches us how to be consistent with our dogs. We will teach you to make your dog focus on you, because if your dog is not looking at you it is not paying attention to you. We will teach you a structured black and white method to properly communicate with your dog. Training also offers the opportunity to curb unwanted behaviors and transform them into desired behaviors. Training should be fun for you and your dog and can be a safe way to properly socialize your dog in a controlled environment.
Training affords us the opportunity to try different tools that will allow you to achieve the behaviors you desire in your dog! The emphasis of my training methods are on POSITIVE dog training. I will teach you how to control your dog without causing stress to the animal. No dog is un-trainable, the handler just needs to know how to make the dog focus on them and the rest will follow. Our Private Sessions are held in your home or a park near you. Private sessions run about 60 minutes. Some lessons will take longer.
