The Balanced K-9 - Dog Training And Behavior Modification

New on HomeGuide
1 hire on HomeGuide
Serves Bridgeport, CT
The majority of my clients came to me because their dog required some amount of behavior modification. Whether the dogs never mastered the foundational skills (i.e. walking calmly at the owners side, relaxing in place without being anxious or needing to greet every guest, etc), failed to learn as a puppy that interactions with humans (no jumping, barking or mouthing) are different from fellow dogs or developed unwanted behaviors (ie guarding food, people, growling, lunging, etc) we have fixed it all....

Often seen walking my pack of dogs, sometimes 6 to 10 at a clip. I Love the Niche I'm in, whether it's working at a veterinary hospital with their problem dogs, with a groomer helping them with their problem animals to stay still? Or my own personal in-home consultations and boot camps with seriously problematic dogs. Being there for someone with an answer, especially when they can't find one, I think that's the trick to receive that satisfaction desired. Plus my Public Facebook page under ,K-9 Behavior shaping with Eddie the dog guy is available for anybody looking for some more info😁 To be able to offer a solution when a solution is not th...

Serves Danbury, CT
Here at Doggiefit we take a balanced approach to training dogs. We understand that each dog is an individual and we stay far away from a cooker cutter approach. What might work for one dog isn't going to necessarily work for another dog so we like to keep an open mind when training dogs. I personally come from a Working K9 and Sport dog background when I've spent the last 5 years dealing with various working breeds of dogs, everything from German shepherds, Belgian Malinios, Dutch Shepherds, Rottweiler's, American Pitbull Terriers and so much more. Coming from the sport and working dog world I've learned a lot of things that can translate ove...

Your Dog Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

Professional dog training costs $30 to $50 per group class and $45 to $120 per private session. Dog obedience training schools cost $200 to $600 per week, and boot camp kennel training costs $500 to $1,250 per week. Get exact prices by contacting affordable dog trainers near you.

Local dog trainers teach dogs basic obedience, behavioral modification, agility, personal protection or guarding, emotional support, therapy or service dog training, show dog handling, puppy training, trick training, hunting training, police dog or K9 training, and other types.

Certified dog trainers offer group classes, private lessons, or come to your home for one-on-one training. The best in-home dog trainers also teach the owner how to train commands, use body language, and offer proper reinforcement guidance. Many dog trainers use positive reinforcement, which uses a reward (treats, praise, toys) for desired behaviors.

Puppies 7 to 8 weeks of age begin to learn basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “stand,” and “down.” Professional dog training traditionally starts at 6 months old. By delaying training, behavioral patterns learned during puppyhood likely take longer to change.

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Dogs can learn and be trained at any age. Older dogs have more self-control and are easier to train than young puppies. Continuing to train your dog as it matures is also important to help keep their mind sharp.

Private dog training helps correct your dog’s behavior, aggression, anxiety, socialization skills, and teaches them a commands list in a timely and cost-effective manner. Common commands dogs learn quickly are to stay, heel, and roll over.

Professional dog training is valuable because it teaches your dog not to jump or bite, to stop barking, to stay in the yard off-leash, potty training, to use a dog door, not to pull on a leash, hand signals, and much more.

The easiest dog breeds to train are an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, Bearded or Border Collie, Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and a Doberman Pinscher. Female canines of all breeds are also easier to train and housebreak.

The hardest dogs breeds to train are a Husky, Mastiff, Pug, Beagle, Bulldog, Weimaraner, Afghan Hound, Basenji, Basset Hound, Bloodhound, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, Fox and Kerry Blue Terrier, Irish Setter, Pekingese, Pit Bull Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, and a Rottweiler.
