THE FIRST LESSON (2 to 3 hours)

PROBLEM SOLVING - All non-obedience problems such as jumping up, digging, chewing, chasing cats, barking and housetraining are addresed. Most non-obedience dog problems can be controlled in the first lesson. It doesn't take weeks or months to control problems.

DOG PSYCHOLOGY - We explain not just that the dog's owner needs to be the leader, but we explain exactly how to do that, and how to understand a dog's behavior from a dog's perspective.

This is what makes us totally unique from any other dog trainers we know of. Our approach is to get the people to understand how the dog thinks and how to work with that, rather than getting the dog to think like a human. This way is much easier for dogs and their owners instead of basically expecting the dog to be a furry human.

COMMANDS - We generally teach the following commmand during the first lesson. We make sure that the dog does the commands for the people, make sure the people know how to make the dog better, and practice while we are at the house. Then we come back in a few weeks and show you more new things to work on.

Sit

Sit is excelent for picture day but not much else. It is like a sprinter position for dogs because the often "Sit" first before chasing squirrels because they can push off with their back legs. However sitting is critical because if the dog will not sit or goes limp and will not stay seated up it indicate a defiance problem which need to be addressed.

Down

"Down" is the doggie tranquilizer. It is the command that gets dogs to be calm and under control and allows for long "Stays." If your dog will not go down for you, it is not submitting to you.

Heel

"Heel" is when you walk and the dog's front paws are behind your feet. Heel is for walking from Point A to Point B. There is no marking, sniffing or checking things out on Heel. When you get to where you want your dog to sniff then you would switch to "loose-leash walking" where the dog is in front of you but not pulling on the leash.

Most dog trainers pass off "loose-leash walking" as "Heel." If the dog won't walk with its feet behind your's, it is not going subordinate. Also, if you want your dog to follow you off-leash, then you must get the dog on "Heel."

Perimeter Training

Perimeter training is where you teach the dog not to cross a line unless you release the dog to do so. Perimeter training is not "Stay." It is 'do-not-cross the-line-ever-unless-I-say-so.' It is the same if you do not want your dog to run out the front door, side gate, jump in the car, jump out of the car, or cross your property line. Once your dog knows this command, you could take him camping and make a circle with a rope and have an instant yard where the dog will not cross the line unless released.

THE 2nd LESSON (1 to 3 hours)

Stay

We almost always get dogs to "Stay"" 20 minutes to an hour the same day as the second lesson for the owners--even with people throwing tennis balls, ringing the door bell and with kids screaming and running back and forth.

What you get when you hire a dog trainer is someone to teach you techniques and to teach YOU to be a dog trainer. What we teach is effective, gets results right away, and works in real-life. These are all actual pictures of clients and dogs taken during their second lesson with us.

Working At A Distance

Whether you are doing Sit, Down, Stay or Come on a rope, it is a mind game and the dog forgets that the rope is on and they just learn that even if the people are far away the dog must obey commands the owner gives.

Come-When-Called

With most dog trainers all bets are off if the dog is not on a leash. How can you say that the dog is trained or that you are a dog trainer if the dog will not listen or "Come" if there is no leash?

Also, there is no time to run back in the house and get the treats before your dog gets run over by a car. Your dog needs to come to you because you say so--this is what we teach and what makes us different than most other dog trainers.

THE 3rd LESSON (1 to 3 hours)

By the third lesson most dogs are walking Off-Leash and will "Stay" from far away and run back to the owners when released.

We have these things called "Jealously Guarded Secrets" which we sell and that we don't want our competitors to know about so we cannot show you everything we do on this web page.

The pictures below are typical third lesson dogs and owners.

Stand-Stay

"Stand-Stay" is what you want if you want to totally impress your friends and family members. Most dog trainers have no idea how to teach this and can't even get their own dogs to do this command. We usually teach this command during the third lesson.

THE 4th LESSON (1 to 3 hours)

Usually on the fourth lesson we talk about how bad the dog was and how good he or she is now. Mostly the dogs and owners learn pretty much everything during the first three lessons and we just review everything during the fourth lesson.

Stay tuned to this page because we are going to add a lot more to it. We want potential clients to know exactly what we do and what they can expect from our business and our dog training method.

We are confident that when you consider our program and meet us that you won't want other dog trainers.

You don't need to spend $1,500 or send your dog away to get dog trained. Call us and be much happier, much much happier.
