One on One Training We have found that the the quickest and easiest way to teach the basics or do any kind of problem solving is to teach it with only one or two dogs per instructor to limit the distractions. This is why we developed our One on One dog training program. Once the dog has mastered the first steps, our Focus Class is a wonderful way to continue their education. One on One dog training gives the owners a chance to really understand and enjoy the process of training their family dog for life. What will we work on? We can work on a variety of behaviors during your one on one sessions. These could include: Attention and Eye Contact Getting the basics: Sit, Down, Stand Sit for Greeting – no more jumping on family and guests Coming when Called Moving attention – walking on a leash without pulling, paying attention to owner, and ignoring the other dogs. Then you can teach him anything! Wait – sit, down, and stand Acceptance of Handling Begin Supervised Separation Problem solving session for barking, digging, chewing, mouthing, house-soiling, etc. Silly pet tricks: Spin, Play Dead, Touch (ring bell, push ball), Leave-it (treats on paws), Shake, and Beg. Our basic obedience course is offered as a private session with you and your dog and an experienced Paws instructor. Sessions are one half hour long and will be customized to you and your dog. Each lesson will involve a review of your training program, demonstration of what to do along with actively training your pet. All of our dog training instruction uses positive reward based methods. What will you work on? Your sessions will be customized to your dog but can include any of the above as well as more individual problems. When is One on One training offered?
