Throughout thetraining process you will observe while I get your dog to understand and comply with my

commands. Before each lesson ends you will be the one who is demonstrating to me howit's done!While every dog should learn to respond to basic commands, it's the dog who has learnedto exercise self-control and restraint in the presence of distractions and excitement that isalways welcome around people and company. That's why good manners are always a toppriority with The Trained Canine.Head Start Puppy TrainingThe best time to start training your dog is whenyou first bring him or her home. No dog over eightweeks of age is too young to begin learning how tolive successfully in a human family. The sooneryour little bundle of fur learns what is expected,the easier the adjustment will be for everyone inyour home.The old maxim that \"an ounce of prevention isworth a pound of cure\" is especially true in dog training. It's so much easier to keep a badhabit from forming than it is to change an unacceptable behavior once it's been established.So give your puppy a head start to a happy life and train him while he's young and new toyour household.Puppy Training consists of four weekly lessons. Each lesson is roughly one hour, though thefirst lesson often runs longer in order to explain the program and answer all of yourquestions. We will cover these subjects: Establishing the proper rapport and relationship with you as the benevolent leader Housetraining Walking nicely on leash (No pulling or lagging) Introduction to the Standard Commands ( Come, Sit, Down, Stay & Drop It) How to deal with puppy nipping and other unwelcome behaviors How to crate train (or otherwise confine) Proper care instructions (feeding, grooming, hygiene & medical care)Basic Obedience Training This program is for dogs over six months of age. Even the friendliest, most lovable dog in the world can be more than a handful if not properly trained. In fact, sometimes it's the most outgoing and exuberant dogs that are the hardest to control. But regardless of your dog's personality type you want her to be a good citizen who is always welcome to share your space.

The Basic Training program consists of four weekly lessons. We will cover these subjects: Establishing the proper rapport and relationship with you as the benevolent leader Walking in a well behaved manner on leash Standard Commands (Sit, Down, Stay, Come & Drop It) How to address common behavior problems Teaching your dog to be able to resist distraction and stay focused on you.Day TrainingLots of people today are too busy to devote the necessary amount of time to their dogs toget them trained and well-behaved. Standard in-home training consists of once weeklylessons that you practice and reinforce on a daily basis. If you choose the Day Trainingoption we will come to your home 3 to 4 times a week while you are at work or busy doingsomething else and do the heavy lifting for you. You still need to participate once a week toget up to speed but your dog gets the benefit of learning directly from the expert most ofthe time.Advanced On and Off Leash Training Some people choose to continue working with professional instruction as their dog advances on to more difficult tasks and challenging environments, such as remaining well controlled outside and in the face of increasing distraction. Some wish to train off leash. The Trained Canine is always happy to work with you on these goals! For moral and legal reasons The Trained Canine will only undertake off leash training with a dog that is already well disciplined in the basics and ina safe enclosed environment. The duration of training along with the goals of the ownershould be discussed during an in person evaluation.Problem Behaviors & AggressionDogs can present us with all types of unwanted behaviors: Eliminating inside Ceaseless barking Jumping Destructive chewing Nipping & Biting

While these things are stressful to us humans in the family, it's important to understandthat your dog is behaving in a way that makes sense to him. Dogs don't make trouble just toget you angry. The key is understanding what is driving the unwanted behavior and howthat behavior is being reinforced by your dog's environment.I employ the most modern dog-friendly methods to change your dog's reactions andchoices. Using harsh physical punishments or inflicting pain have no place in effectivetraining today.Aggression & Anxiety More challenging are dogs that have what could be referred to as personality disorders or emotional disturbances. These are dogs that display aggression, nervousness & anxiety, or a mixture of both. Such dogs are potentially dangerous to you, your family and your friends. Dogs that suffer from separation anxiety or phobias are included in this category. There is no one reason why a dog may develop anti- social behavior. A lack of proper socialization as a puppy is often a factor. So, too, is a dog's natural temperament and exposure to previous trauma. Don'tmake the mistake of hoping that these types of problems will simply disappear or beoutgrown. Fearfulness and aggression usually escalate over time and become triggeredever more easily.These animals need special care. If you believe your dog belongs in one of these categoriesit is very important that you seek the right kind of help. It is a mistake to punish aggressivedogs and it's likewise wrong to baby and protect fearful dogs. The wrong kind of handlingcan make such dogs worse.A properly designed program of behavior modification is meant to change your dog'semotional response to a trigger, not just suppress it through fear or intimidation.Please ask for an in home evaluation to decide upon the best course of treatment for yourpet.
