Dog walking

 

We believe that dog walking is one of the most important parts of your dogs life. Walking and hunting is what makes them a team. This fulfills their need to work together. The dog is a highly social animal which needs to explore its surroundings. Someone who can give a structured walk will help your pet with behavior problems. For example tail chasing, chewing on furniture, remotes, shoes, and self harm. This program is for people who are busy and don't have a lot of time to give to their dog.

 

Our walk with your pet includes one full hour of mental and physical workout. By using his mind and body your pet will be more calm and at ease.This will give the dog structure.

 

If your pets health is good we also offer dog running.

 

If you want to help socialize your dog.  We offer dog walks with multiple dogs.

 

 

• Dog walking is 12.00 per hour
• Dog running is 15.00 per hour 

 Basic Obedience                                                                 

This is for owners who want there dogs to do basic cues. Basic obedience is a great way to teach your dog to communicate and earn his rewards. It is very possible through this course that you can reduce or diminish unwanted behavior. 

What separates us from your typical obedience class is that I train for the behavior not just the cue.  When we have a dog do a cue they must be relaxed to get their reward.

 

Our Basic Obedience program includes one day a week for one hour up to six weeks of training.

Behavior Therapy

 

We believe that unwanted behavior comes from dogs that aren't getting what they need in their daily lives .This causes unnecessary stress for your dog. The dog will begin to show frustration leading to what you might think is a surprise, a dog bite. Some symptoms of this type of behavior are unmanageable walking, aggressiveness towards people, dogs, the owners, and  unrully behavior in the house.

 

In these sessions we will give the owner the knowledge and tools to communicate with their dog. During these sessions we will create a plan for you to follow everyday.

In this type of setting our reward system is different than normal dog training. Instead of making it excitable and treat filled, we will make the exercises more relaxed. It is our belief that dogs were bred to follow us as leaders so when they sense our happiness they will feel fulfilled.That in return becomes the dogs reward. 

 

Sessions for this will typically last an hour maybe longer depending on your dogs situation. Our approach to these exercises is always humane.

 

 

Each session will include

1. One hour or more
2. We will create a plan for you and your dog
3. Will include one follow up visit

 

Cost per session $80.00
