private in-person dog Training
The best place to start with any dog regardless of age.
A private controlled setting with owner (family) and dog in an undistracted environment. Comfortable, safe and free of judgment.
If you are dealing with behaviour problems, they need to be addressed in a private setting! NOT a multi dog group class.
Too much stimulation before you know what to do, creates frustration and is an equation for failure.
Dogs & People learn in a private controlled environment much easier with less stress and distraction.
Learn what is happening, why, and the techniques to correct your problems. Add distraction and stimulation at levels comfortable for success.
Private sessions are not only for behavior problems, but they are also great for starting puppies. Learn about leash manners, engagement, and proper socializing to avoid creating the over eager Wal-Mart greeter in the future, that pulls towards everything!
What makes training with Angie different….
Her sessions focus on educating humans rather than taking the dog and training it for you. Instead, she equips you with the tools and knowledge to practice with your own dog, enhancing your understanding and skills to become a confident and effective leader in your relationship.
She understands and believes that mindset and personal beliefs are foundational to successful dog training. Confidence and belief in the technique can indeed make a big difference in how effectively someone can train their dog.
In each session, Angie investigates her clients’ daily habits with their dogs and families, identifying problem areas, how they are reinforced, and what can be done to change them. She emphasizes the importance of structure and rules in discussions during sessions, recognizing their significance in achieving training goals.
