Training
Q: Why should I train my dog?
A: A well behaved dog is an absolute joy for you and others to have in their lives. Whether you have a puppy, a rescue dog or are experiencing behavioral issues, training is the way to go. You should be in control of your dog. When you cannot handle your dog's behavior you and your dog both feel anxiety and stress. If you feel your dog's behavior is affecting you, your family, or the public, you and your dog need some help.
Q: Why would I want to have private dog training sessions?
A: Private training sessions allow us to customize training for your dog to fit its needs and yours. I will help you understand your dog's temperament and breed characteristics. I form a training program that is just right for you, your dog and your lifestyle. Meeting in your own home allows us to address all the issues you may want to discuss about your dog. We are not just working on commands, we look into all facets of your relationship with your dog.
Q: How much will this dog training cost me?
A: Every dog and training situation is unique. You may be looking for puppy training, or you may have dog behavioral issues that need to be addressed. It could be that your dog needs help with social and interaction life skills, learning commands or you need help with specific problem-solving issues. My hourly rates depend on the location of the client and the needed training. I do not require you to sign a duration commitment contract with me or require payment in advance. Please contact me to receive a quote for you and your dog’s needs.
Q: Why not just take a dog training class?
A: Classes do not address your individual needs with your dog. They are very stressful for your dog and frustrating for many clients. In private sessions I can address all your questions about your dog. You will gain much more knowledge and information about your dog's specific needs in a much shorter period as I am only focusing on YOU and YOUR dog.
Do not sign up for dog training classes with the goal of socialization. Classes are for learning obedience commands not playing with other dogs unless specifically identified as such. Dogs do better learning commands and tasks on their own with their owner before being tested in unfamiliar surroundings with others.
Q: Why chose Any Breed Training instead of another company?
A: This may seem like a tough question to answer but it is not for me. I truly enjoy what I do! This type of training is about helping the owner learn how to handle their dog and their dog's issues. I enjoy listening to my clients tell me how their life has changed since working with me and their dog. To see the relief a client has when they can take their dog into any situation with confidence is very rewarding. My goal is to help you and your dog have a happy partnership of respectful friendship that lasts the dog’s lifetime.
