Training of Adolescent Dogs

I can work with you to train your adolescent dog.

The basis for any training is a balanced, stable and reliable relationship between your dog and yourself. I will discuss with you how to build and enhance a solid relationship of mutual respect – and suggest changes where they are appropriate.

The main emphasis of this 5 hour basic training is to put you in the very focus of your dog’s mind. Your dog will learn:

• to walk relaxed on the leash
• to come reliably when called
• to sit and remain seated on command
• to lie down on command
• to walk by your side without a leash

To start with we will work with no, or only marginal, distraction. Later, the level of distraction (other dogs, running children, food in someone's hands or on the floor, passing joggers, city noises, crowds, etc., etc.) will increase so that your dog can cope with the strains of city life.

Together we can make it happen. You will have the dog you can rely on and love as your friend and companion.
