Training our dogs is a responsibility as well as a privilege. Canine obedience training strengthens the bond between the dog and his owner and enhances their relationship. In our efforts to train them, it is essential to take into consideration each dog's individual nature and and modify our training approach to accomodate what works best for each dog we train. We must understand what the individual dog brings to the training partnership, identify what the dog wants and needs from the partnership and offer those rewards to induce the dog to demonstrate the behavior we want. It is not merely teaching a dog to perform behaviors in response to certain commands. Most often, any flaw in the dog's behavior can be attributed to a failure in the teaching.

Positive reinforcement is the most effective way to train a dog. The biggest advantage of positive training is that the dog enjoys the training and hence is more willing to learn; he also will not lose trust in his handler. He will keep trying to achieve his reward and will continue to offer behaviors. There are many methods of dog training; on the one extreme, there is training which is very compulsive in nature, involving severe correction; on the other extreme, there is "purely positive" training, which is based on nothing but positive reinforcement, treats, and a general lack of discipline and correction.

I am often asked what "method" of dog training I use. My response is that I utilize many different "methods" to achieve the best results with each individual dog and owner. In some households, there is more than one dog involved in training, and I have to use different approaches with each dog; for example, one dog may be more dominant and strong willed and requires more corrections and repetitions as well as training with a lot of distractions around. The other dog may be completely opposite and need very gentle teaching and lots of praise with shorter training sessions and will require more encouragement.

Each owner has different objectives; most of my clients desire to achieve a positive working relationship with their dog as an obedient compantion. This involves teaching basic commands, such as: walking on a leash (heel), sit on command, down on command, the sit and down stay command, and most importatly, the come command. Other very important issues are covered which vary depending on the individual situation, such as: inappropriate aggression, jumping up on people, bolting out of doors / gates, boundary training, fearful and unsocial behaviors, etc.

It is recommended that the training be started as soon as possible. The first four months of a puppy's life determine its outlook and response to the world around them. If there are issues at that age, there are corrective measures that can be implemented to turn around a problem before it even manifests itself as a serious issue.

My training program involves a combination of one on one individualized training sessions in your home, combined with weekly group classes which are included but not mandatory. These one on one dog training sessions at home can be started as early as seven weeks; however, the at home dog training sessions may start at any age. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

The core training program that I offer is the at home dog training sessions; the group classes are an optional, no extra chage, additional opportunity. However, I do require that your dog be vaccinated before joining the group sessions.

The dog trainer should require the dog to have all vaccinations before participating in the group class aspect of the program, to ensure the safety of other animals and humans. Never risk your dog around any pet you do not know. Many animals carry communicable diseases such as; mange (which can be transfered to another animal very easily), and kennel cough (which is a respiratory infection that spreads quickly in dogs). Kennel cough is usually caused by a bacterial infection, bordetella bronchiseptica. A dog can also become more susceptible to kennel cough by being exposed to viral infections such as canine parainfluzenza, canine distemper, canine adenovirus, canine herpes and canine reovirus. These infections can be transmitted through the air by coughing or sneezing. Some dogs may be genetically predisposed to a reduced immune system, or have their immune system weakened by poor nutrition and thus be more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections. Dogs can also have communicable diseases without showing obvious symptoms of the disease itself (be carriers), which is why regular vaccination is so important.
