Paw In Hand Dog Training is committed to
humane training for the family companion dog. Reward-based training will
help you develop a great relationship with your dog.
 • Private
Obedience Lessons: We will
meet at your home for a 45-minute lesson. You and your dog will learn basic
skills such as sit, down, come, loose-leash walking, and tricks. I’ll break
each exercise down into small steps so that you both will be successful. Weekly
lessons are tailored to set realistic goals for you and
your dog. We will concentrate on your needs and can address barking,
jumping, or other problems.
Once you have mastered the basics you’ll
learn, with my help, how to apply them to daily life with your dog. You and
your dog can progress to more advanced exercises such as heeling and stay.
We’ll go on field trips to socialize your dog and work with distractions.
• Behavior Problem Solving:
During a 90-minute initial consultation, I’ll assess your dog’s
problems and develop a behavior modification plan. The plan will include humane methods of
counter-conditioning and desensitization. During weekly sessions, I will
help you through the steps of the behavior plan as we address the components
of your dog’s behavior.
I work with dogs with aggression issues
toward people and/or dogs, resource guarding, fearfulness, and separation
anxiety.
 • New Dog and Puppy Selection and Counseling:
I’ll help you get off to the right start by
advising you on the selection of the best dog for your
family. I can help you prevent behavior problems by training and managing your new friend.
• Lectures:
I am available for group lectures on topics such as Preventing Puppy Problems,
Surviving Canine Adolescence, and Babies, Kids and Dogs.
