| Training Offered for Your Dog or Other Animal All Animal Pet Sitting And Home Services will train your dog or other animal at a reasonable rate of $30.00 to $40.00 per session depending on breed, size, frequency, and temperament. Economy Discount: For a limited time only, I will train your dog or other animal at a rate of $20 per session. Each session is 30 to 60 minutes depending on the phase of training and the animals capabilities. This rate is applicable to plans set up for training the animal only. Human training sessions and introductory visits are $25 per session lasting 30 to 45 minutes. I do not like hearing people tell me that they cannot afford dog training because of the economy. The average duration for a successful training period is 2 to 3 weeks for clients who follow directions and much longer for those who do not. It is up to you. Animals I have experience training include dogs, cats, horses, goats, iguanas, cockatoos, parrots, and cockatiels. Training sessions are flexible to your needs as well as your dogs needs. We offer in your home dog training with or without owner participation during sessions. My training method is not based on theory but rather on what works. I do not play trick or treat with the dogs and I think clicker training is useless and here is why. If your dog is running toward traffic, do you really think he/she will respond to "Treat" or even hear a clicker. Simply saying what comes natural, "Stop" will stop your dog if you keep up on the prescribed lessons I will teach you and your dog. Additionally, I do not want to train your dog twice, once with a clicker or treat, then confuse him or her with another training consisting of eliminating formally set expectations. To me that is silly and time consuming. Another problem with these methods involves owners not understanding the importance of the transition and quitting prematurely with an animal that will only do tasks for bribery. Consistency, play, love, and reinforcement are what I use to train dogs through the use of crates, secure soft collars, positioning, good boy/girl, body language, and voice fluctuation. I do not use choke chains or harnesses and only result to prong collars if needed. After being a member of a veterinary clinic and trying to help dogs recover from neck and body injuries from choke chains and harnesses I decided prong collars are wonderful devises when used properly. They may look painful but on further inspection you will notice the prongs are angeled so they do not actually stab your dog in the neck but pinch the dog's skin causing an irritation, not pain. I always try out training equipment on myself before I use it on any dog, these do not hurt, try placing the appropriate size on your thigh to irritate yourself. I do not use electronic devises, however, the citronella bark collar is great for some barking problems, please, do not use these inside the crate. Below are the main commands available, others can be easily taught to your dog including a controlled fetch, tracking, and, when I have my course finally assembled, agility. I do not like to teach dogs aggression therefore no guard dog training or protection training for most clients. Commands Sit On and off leash training available. Down Stay Controlled Fetch Heel Tracking Stand Out Off Stop No Good Boy/Girl Go Potty Quiet Take A Break Turn Around Service Dogs are sometimes available already trained in the areas of seizure/migraine/anxiety alert and response, and other related disabilities. Medical disability proof required and for some disabilities not listed on the federal list a doctors prescription is required. Call for details and availability. Medical Alert Service Dog Training is available with your own dog if your dog meets certain qualifications. |
