Dog Training
I work with you first and then your dog(s). Basic obedience is something every dog should have, but can be hard to achieve without some help. Let me know what you want to work on and we'll figure out a way to get you and your dog to the next level. I will also be willing to bring dogs into my home for board and train, but require the owner to have at least one additional session (free of charge) a week or so after to make sure the training is being kept up with.
I'm also trying to start up a board and train exercise camp . This would be a dog staying in my home for 2-4 weeks and we work on basic obedience. The primary purpose of this stay how

My Dogs Coach LLC

I'm a positive first dog training company which means I'm educated in all methods of dog training. I've trained over 1500 dogs and know from experience that not all dogs can be trained with one method of training. I teach my clients about positive reinforcement such as clicker/marker training with food and toys. If needed we can easily transfer to E-collar training because all the basic obedience has been taught. E-collars are great tools for off-leash freedom but aren't meant for every dog amd owner.
I offer board and trains, private lessons, puppy headstart programs, and in-your-home dog training.

Pack Fit Dog Training And Behavior
We take a very holistic approach to training and behavior. Behavior is quite contextual and heavily layered; various factors and ingredients feeding into, influencing, and impacting it. What most people see and begin to address is the symptom and by-product of an underlying need not being met and fulfilled, and the stress, frustration, insecurity, and anxiety created due to this. We're also heavily schooled, experienced, and educated in all these ingredients (e.g. Nutrition, Dog Psychology and Behavior, Human Psychology and Behavior, etc), so our programs are incredibly well-rounded and address both ends of the leash (after all, there are two

Frequently asked questions
How much are dog training prices near me?
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.
What do professional dog trainers do?
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.
What is the best age to train a dog?
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.
Can you train an old dog?
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.
Is paying for private dog training worth it?
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.
Which dog breeds are easy to train?
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.
Which dog breeds are hard to train?
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.
