OBEDIENCE
		A dog is not a robot, but an individual.  Every dog has a particular personality with strengths and weaknesses.  The goal of teaching obedience is to develop a communicating and working relationship with your dog. Because both the owner and the dog must learn, I prefer to teach them separately.  This avoids confusion on the dog’s part, maximizing the learning ability of the dog, and makes learning easier for the owner. Each family determines the level of obedience they are comfortable with according to the amount and quality of practice.
				Education Options:
				Board & Train – Your dog is immersed in obedience and taught the basic commands in my home.  This part of the course is generally 2 weeks.  After the dog’s learning is complete, the owner is taught in a series of 3-4 lessons within a 6-week period. Private Lessons – Reserved for special needs such as aggression issues or health concerns.  The price is quoted per hour, but the lesson may not last a full hour.   When the lesson goal is met, the session will end. Advanced Training – Off leash training is available based on basic obedience proficiency.  All lessons are private lessons.
