Introduction

In home convenience and Dog leadership training to correct ill mannered dog behaviors. I provide training through a leadership lens and am calm, assertive, and proactive and intentional in my approach. I not only focus on classical and operant conditioning principles but explain "dog psychology" and the "whys" dogs do things they do and that are so grossly misunderstood by many. For instance, there is NO PUNISHMENT in DOG WORLD. They do not come from the wild thinking, "if we do this we are gonna get in trouble." Many humans actually punish dogs. It is meaningless to dogs other than scaring them. (just an example of a misconception humans have). Lastly, I don't teach appeasement. I teach, "what is your command master?" Love teaching owners and changing their understanding about what dogs really need as well as common mistakes and traps humans fall into when engaging their dogs. I love educating dog owners and providing them functional effective skill sets in helping to train their dogs.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I offer military 2nd dog discounts. I am currently running a $100.00 off our New Revolution Puppy/Dog Training Program for In Home Training. I cut out all the large charges that "Big Box" trainers charge because I don't have their overhead.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I need to provide an hour long free consultation with the main handlers if not the whole family as dogs are part of a "pack" mentality. Upon assessing the dog and its specific needs, while uncovering possible fear anxiety, or aggressive based issues, I discuss my model and methods and explain why the dog behaves as it does. Once this is done, I offer a in home training program tailored to my client's needs.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Over 39 years of in home dog training. Hundreds of dogs.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

When I was young we had a trainer teach me with my two shepherd puppies we rescued and I became enamored with training. I began to study and practice. We have serviced almost 2000 dogs in the Treasure Valley in the past 8 years.

What types of customers have you worked with?

All types but mostly families or single people. Multi pet homes, multi dog homes, disabled and physically challenged.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Family man trying to raise children. I work on my children projects.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for in home trainer as dogs respond to people differently. So if you send your dog out or to someone else you may only get a residual benefit. Also I can train you dog wonderfully but if you don't know what to do as dogs need leaders and KNOW who they are you will need to be trained as leader. Also, group classes ARE NOT TOTAL training. It meets some needs of the dogs and should supplement individual training not take the place of it.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What are your methods? What is your belief about dogs and their places in the home? What is the family role? How do dogs actually learn? How does energy and structure impact the adjustment of your dog? Are you specifically asking about leash and door reactivity and how a brick and mortar can help you? Why do most people who spend up to 4k on board train lose the training in 6 months to a year? Why is in home the most optimal training program?
