TRANSFORM YOUR DOG WITH IN HOME PRIVATE TRAINING SESSIONS

At Training Your Best Friend, we understand that every dog is individual & unique. That’s why we offer customized training tailored to meet the individual needs of your furry friend. Whether you have a puppy or an adult dog that needs help teaching new skills or struggling with unwanted behaviors, we will provide all of the training and coaching support needed to set you up for success and build a relationship with your dog based on trust and understanding.

How Does it Work?

The first step begins with an initial consultation where we visit your home to meet your dog, assess his/her behavior, and discuss at length any issues you are having, as well as your long-term goals. Once we assess all factors that contribute to your dog’s behavior we will develop a training program, tailored to you and your dog, that will teach you how to guide your dog toward the desired behavior.  Yes, YOU are the key to managing your dog’s behavior. We teach you how to interact with your dog and handle them in any situation while creating an unbreakable bond.

Private lessons can be conducted in the privacy of your home or at a designated outdoor location. Our in-home dog training programs begin in your home, so that we can give your dog the benefit of learning new skills in a less distracting environment. Once your dog has mastered these new skills, we’ll take him/her out in public where behaviors are reinforced around distractions and behavioral triggers.

Our public lessons are still private lessons but are designed to make sure your dog knows how to make good choices even in challenging situations. These lessons also make sure that you know how to guide your dog to make the correct choice.

 

Behavioral Consultations 

 

Behavior Consulting specializes in complex behavioral issues such as aggression, leash reactivity, fear, separation anxiety and resource guarding.  Consults include multi-dog household issues, compulsive behaviors, adjusting to a new home (for rescued / adopted / re-homed dogs).

 

This consultation is extensive and will take about 90 minutes It is not only an opportunity for me to make assessments & gather information to develop a strategic plan for the individual situation — it is detailed information for you. This dog behavior consultation & assessment will be the foundation on which we build a strategy & game plan for resolution.

My training is rooted in what is best for the individual dog. I believe that management and setting up the environment so that we can stop the repetition of unwanted behaviors comes first. Each animal shows you what they find valuable or reinforcing and we utilize these things to create the behaviors we want to see. We set up dogs for success.

Our Approach:

No two dogs or families are the same and changing behavior can be hard to do on your own!  Training is based on trust, respect, understanding, and a utilization of science to create changes in behavior. We train both ends of the leash using these same beliefs. Each person’s journey with their dog is unique, with specific goals and challenges.

We utilize humane, positive reinforcement using kind and effective methods focusing on rewards to teach your dog how to work with us. We concentrate your dog’s style of learning for long lasting results that build the relationship between you and your dog – no matter what behaviors we are working to train or modify.

We don’t use fear, force or corrections to get behaviors that we want or to get rid of behaviors we don’t want. We use the science of dog training to assess and adjust every step of the way. Everything that we do with dogs is something that anybody can reproduce, there is no need for special energy, special stance, or even a take charge attitude. We create a relationship between people and their dogs.

 Every program is accompanied with extra support between sessions and long after your program is over to ensure your long-term success.
