Training You to Train Your Dog

Why Train?

Dogs by nature are pack animals with a well defined social order. When you train your dog you assume the alpha role (pack leader) as his master. It is not cruel to train a dog. It is actually unkind to deprive him of the discipline he would receive from his pack leader.

Your dog needs to know the rules of the house in order to become part of your family circle and bond with his master.

Learning the basic commands sit, down, stay walk on a leash and come when called are essential for the dog to become an enjoyable, well mannered companion.

Every dog is different. Some are hyperactive, others are laid-back, a few are shy and need more self-confidence, while others may have too much confidence. Some have common behavioral problems such as jumping on people, digging, barking, chewing etc. The time taken to train your dog is small considering the results.
