Learn how to build a foundation of good behaviors or add new ones, to set your dog up for success.

The “Get DogUcated” program is designed for people who have recently adopted a new dog or puppy and have not developed any behavior issues that you know of yet. Dogs that pull on the leash, or don’t know how to come when called, need a refresher or to learn new skills.

We start with a Foundation session at your home, where I can determine your needs better and create training goals. During the first session, I help close the communication gap between you and your dog by explaining how dogs learn, our marker and communication system, how we stop unwanted behaviors, and what your dog is trying to tell you. We will also talk about the benefits of crate training, proper socialization, and the importance of the right diet for your dog, among other things. Of course, you’ll also get the answers to any questions you might have.

Then we’ll focus on your specific dog training goals, whether in your home, your neighborhood streets or meet at Prospect Park to teach your dog to come when called.
