Feeling in over your head? The first few months with your new puppy or dog are critical. Start off on the right paw by receiving practical and effective best practices to avoid common pitfalls.
How Ann Trains
As you probably know, with private lessons, we are training you to train the dog. We will teach you positive reinforcement techniques to help your dog understand how to work within a human environment and you how to understand your dog.
What Ann Trains
This will depend on what is important to you, but we will guide you along the way. Some of the most common desires like a dog that doesn’t jump up might require some foundation skills to get to the end result, but we will also target training for those things you want. Most common areas of training requests are:
- Walking on leash
- Come when called
- Relaxing at home
- Not jumping up or calm greetings
New Puppy Zoom Calls
I offer Zoom calls for those planning to get a puppy or if you have a new puppy home. These workshops will give you a leg up on the things you need to consider when adding a new puppy to the home.
