"Together we learned how to communicate what we wanted, expected and enjoyed. Amelie not only gave me a well mannered dog but also a companion that is sensitive, responsive and always willing to learn new tricks. Thank you for my forever friend." ~Terri
A family dog is a “chosen” dog. We make the decision to add him or her to our home, our love and our lives. As we get a new dog, regardless of age, we hope that our new companion will become the “perfect dog,” the dog of our dreams. Some pets will give us pleasure and a few will need a bit of polishing.
If your pet needs polishing, I will be happy to help you. Sometimes the problem is language. We might think the dog understands our commands, but in reality our language is confusing to a dog. Sometimes the problem is leadership. I will teach you how to become a benevolent leader, the senior partner in the relationship while strengthening the bond between you and your dog. Sometimes the problem is management. This often has a simple solution.
My methods of training are all positive. This way puppies and dogs do not realize they are being trained. As far as they are concerned, they are playing and having fun with toys and/or food. The training is happy, rewarding and most of all, fun. Before you know it, with my help and guidance, your "chosen” dog will become the dog of your dreams.
If you just acquired a puppy, congratulations! If it is biting you or your belongings, forgetting where the bathroom is or crying out at nig
ht, contact me. A puppy is adorable, just like babies, but a lot of work. However, with proper communication, leadership and management, this lovely bundle of fur will become a well mannered pet that will love and respect you.
