Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

Captain Spish Dog Behavior offers several services designed to address dog behavior and well-being. Behavior Consultations involve an in-home visit to observe the dog in its natural environment, lasting up to two hours, where the trainer teaches owners how to be patient, calm, and confident. Enrichment Walks provide calm, structured walks for dogs, either alone or with other pack members, including playtime to relieve frustration and anxiety, especially recommended for fearful, anxious, or reactive dogs.

One-on-One Coaching Sessions are available after the initial consultation, focusing on practical applications of knowledge and handling techniques for challenging situations. Bicycle Therapy involves exercising dogs next to a bicycle for 30 minutes to an hour, followed by a cool-down walk, aimed at draining excitement and frustration. Additionally, Specialty Boarding provides safe crating, with dogs getting out a minimum of three times daily for play, affection, and potty breaks, and therapy walks are included for certain individuals.

Testimonials

“In the short time Mercury and I have been working with Captain Spish our communication has improved immensely. The Captain has helped me understand how my actions cause reactions and what I need to do to get the behaviors I want. Mercury is calmer, happier, more focused, and just wants to be around me more. I am so glad we found Captain Spish!”
– Beth Whitehead

“Hello, its Amanda and Ryan, you came and worked with our mixed bully Hunter last night (Tuesday). We just wanted to thank you again for all your time and let you know that there’s already a change in his attitude. Instead of waking up and bullying our little border collie mix Karma, he only needed to be corrected once …before leaving her alone and settling downstairs! We can’t wait to work with you more!”
– Amanda and Ryan

“Kyle has been more than helpful with our four-legged friends. We have a 2 1/2 year old pitbull, a 1 year old pit/lab and a 1 year old beagle/Australian shepherd mix. All males. It’s a big challenge trying to keep things on track. Kyle has been a big part in helping us do that. When some aggression between the two younger ones escalated into fights, we needed help. Together, we have quickly tackled that mess and are now moving onto the basics. I’d take Captain Spish over Cesar Millan any day. Call this guy. You won’t regret it, I know from experience.”
– Jeremy S.
