Dog Training Program Design
Firstly, your dog will spend one or more days training in our 5000 square foot training facility in Valhalla, NY. Everything here is part of ‘real-life’ training; distractions (dogs, people, agility equipment even running on the treadmill); trips to local parks, and dog friendly stores (pet food stores and home improvement are our favs) and working around our trained demo dogs.
Then, after each day, we meet for a private lessons for you and your family. This allows us to go over your dog’s progress, smooth over any rough spots you may have had in group class (or with the previous week’s homework) and to review your homework. But don’t worry, we understand that home life can be really hectic… so our assignments just take 15 minutes, and only a couple of times per day. In fact, many of the lessons are worked right into your daily routines. And everything is also provided in video and written forms, to support your journey.
Additionally, tying it all together, you and your dog also gets lifetime group obedience classes every Saturday. Group is the perfect place to practice your new skills with a trainer and around other dogs, and puppies, who are at same point in their learning journey. Thereupon, we are able to help you, in realtime, with any challenges. Furthermore, our trainers can strategize a plan to work through any issues when you come for training days.
Finally, it is all backed by Neil’s “No Quibble” Lifetime Dog Training Guarantee. Lifetime results are our goal and we will work with you to maintain them for the life of your dog.
