Home Visits For Dog Owners

You are probably wondering why I insist on a home visit before you can come to my classes. No one else does, other people do home visits but they tend to be one off visits that are supposed to change everything but they don't. We all learn through practice and repetition and this is especially Important when we are learning a new set of behaviors and learning to control our instincts and our choice of behavior. Whether you are getting a new puppy or a rescue dog, you will spend most of your time with your dog at home. A new puppy needs to learn everything with you and a rescue dog already has ideas about how people behave so he will come into your house with his own plan to train you with his behavior. It does not matter if your new dog is a puppy or a rescue, within the first two days of living with you, your new dog has learned how you behave and what you give attention for.

People are creatures of habit and routine, both in life and in our behaviors and reactions and these make us very easy to get to know and then predict. This is why our new dog finds it so easy to understand us and then manipulate us into giving attention, usually to the behaviors we don't want. As this happens in the first two days and it may be weeks before you consider any training, by the time you get to training your dog already knows how you behave. How can one hour a week in a training class begin to change your dogs behavior if nothing changes at home? If you still over excite your dog with play and still greet your dog like you haven't seen him for days when you come home how can I change your behavior in a training class?

Good behavior is taught all the time just like we do with our children. With our dogs the principles are the same but the communication has to be different as our dogs do not understand our language. They make very good associations that can appear to show understanding but in reality they are just very very good at spotting patterns and delivering the best reaction that will get attention. When your interaction is correct at home, your dog will be able to deliver the same calm behavior wherever you go and that will give you a dog to be proud of because I have trained you to be an owner your dog can be proud of. I look forward to meeting you and your dog.

This doesn’t look all that comfy to me, but what do I know. It would be a pretty good stretch, I guess. #dogsofinstagram #mydoggo #mydog #dog #puppy #puppiesofinstagram #bulldog #bulldogsofinstagram (at Knoxville, Tennessee)

Intensive Training For You, the Dog Owner

As you read my site, you will realize all my training is for the dog owner and your behavior. My home visits are great, my dog behavior classes are very good but sometimes you need something more to make the progress you know you can make, you just don’t know how to go about it.

The worst thing about not knowing what to do is the frustration this generates, not just with your dog but primarily with yourself and this can really knock your confidence. This can make you tense and uncertain with your dog which makes any issues worse. It becomes a very negative and confidence destroying cycle that can be very difficult to get out of.

My offering is fairly unique and different. I offer you five consecutive days with me during which I will show you exactly what you need to do to break the negative cycle of behaviour your have found yourself in. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, it is resolvable provided you are willing to change what you do and how you do it because that is what is needed to get the results you want.

We won’t be addressing the issue or issues in isolation because that does not work, we will be looking at every aspect of your behaviour around your dog and together we will make a lot of little changes that will result in a huge change in your dogs behaviour, for the better and your dogs issues will dramatically reduce or disappear entirely.

The amount of change we can achieve together in five days is only limited to how much I can teach you and the week will be tailored around you entirely. The five days will be intense, we will be working hard all day, every day but I will make sure we both enjoy it and have fun learning together.

We will be working in your house, garden and in the areas you take your dog to on a regular basis so you learn in the environments you visit the most often. Patience, persistence and practice are the three main key words for our five days together and having fun. We all learn better if we can enjoy what we are doing, our dogs learn better when we are relaxed yet these can be the mot difficult things to learn!
