I not only work with problem dogs but have adopted one of the more difficult ones I have come across worling with rescues. I will not give you any false guarantees of what I can do with your dog or give you false expections. Everything I do is set and based on my experiences over the last 10 plus years of training prior to starting my own business last. I see each dog and family as beinging different from the last. And try and remind them it's one moment and one day at a time.

I'm a dog walker that also provides my grooming services. "Going on vacation?" But, have no one to watch your pets!""""😲""". That's where I come in.

I grew up training animals. I learned to read their body language. Many people call me an animal whisperer/ tamer. In the last few years I have rescued hundreds of cats and kittens and found new loving homes for them. I am very experienced in grooming and bathing cats, and bathing and grooming dogs. I train animals as well as their owners to communicate better to eachother. By doing that you have a better understanding of one another. The dogs I train walk well on a leash, and are great at all basic commands. I even train dogs to be off leash which takes a lot of practice and trust. If you're dog or animal is acting out in a home such as bomb

All American K9 Academy Inc is unlike any training company in the New England area because our trainers educate you about the behavior your dog is displaying and train you not only how to correct unwanted behavior but how to recondition the dog into a more confident healthy pet you crave without the use of food or other aids most other trainers use.

I give lessons/sessions in dog and parrot training. I both work with dogs and parrots and teach dog and parrot owners how to work with their dogs and/or parrots. I currently work at a pet store where I am in constant contact with dogs and birds and their owners. I have been in the pet industry for more than twenty years. My classes help dogs and/or parrots and their owners establish boundaries, understand obedience, solve behavioral problems, etc. The dazzling world of aviculture shines like a gem in its philosophical suite. The birds speak the language of philosophical life. Amazon parrots chase after their victims like the Amazonian fig

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.
