Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

Complete K-9 offers training that addresses behavioral problems through obedience and socialization. They provide Basic Dog Obedience Training, which builds a foundation for a dog’s personality and encourages them to please their owner. After successful completion of Basic Obedience, Advanced Dog Obedience Training is available for owners who desire off-leash control in any environment, focusing on preventing bad situations.

Socialization is a key component, teaching dogs to accept various stimuli like cars, boats, people, and noises. Group socialization classes are offered once basic obedience is achieved. The business also offers a “board and train” program, as mentioned in testimonials, for intensive behavior modification.

Testimonials

“Mike taught me in one hour what 3 other trainers couldn’t teach me in weeks. I had a “mentally challenged” black lab pup that was challenging to say the least. I struggled with her for 10 months and was pretty much near the end. She was 1 week away from being re-homed. I called Mike, went in for an evaluation & just after that initial meet & greet I felt like a new dog mama! She’s come so far now! We had lots of company yesterday…first time in weeks & every one commented on how well behaved she was!Can’t thank Mike enough!!! You want results the first time? Call Mike!!!Thank you Mike for giving me the dog of my dreams!!!!”

“I contacted Complete K-9 approximately two months ago for help with my (then) five month old Boxer puppy Ollie. I wanted my three year old son to grow up with a dog of his own but was convinced within days of bringing her home that this was one of my biggest mistakes to date! I found myself trying to cope with an extremely high energy dog who barked and howled when crated, chewed everything in sight, tore through the house like a lunatic, stole food, nipped, threw herself at every person in her path and had to be kept separate from my son at all times for fear she would accidentally hurt him. I also found that I had very limited time to spend training this dog between working full time and parenting a toddler. Mike brought us in for an evaluation and after discussing training options, we went with his “board and train” program. I dropped Ollie off and returned to pick up well mannered, obedient, calmer puppy and have never looked back. The changes in my dog’s behavior are astonishing and Mike has patiently taught me how to continue to work with her over the course of my follow-up lessons and has always been available to answer questions over the phone or via email. I cannot express my appreciation for the training program at Complete K-9 enough and would strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy their pet to the fullest. Mike’s patience, kindness and genuine love for dogs is evident in every step of his training process and creates a wonderful, lasting bond between dogs and owners.”

“Almost four years ago we brought two beautiful boxers home with us named Willy and Lily (they are brother and sister). Unfortunately, their behavior wasn’t beautiful! We bought and tried every advice found in training books but nothing would work because when one was doing what we wanted the other would be naughty and just do the opposite. We were going on vacation and needed to board Willy and Lily and we came across Mike’s Complete K9 business. When I called I found out that we could board them for 2 weeks and he would train them and then when we returned he would work on “training” us. Well, when we returned Willy and Lily were so well behaved we thought this is great! Mike did the best training on Willy and Lily and then it was our turn. Mike is so patient and he explained what he was doing and why. This made it easier to understand when he was teaching us how to interact with Willy and Lily. When I say Mike was patient I really mean it…I think that it might had been easier for him to train Willy and Lily than it was to train us! When we had our sessions at the beginning my dogs would keep their eyes on Mike and as the time went on things began to change. I still remember the day when instead of my dogs watching Mike they watched me!! I was so proud of myself and I knew then that we became a unit that day and it made our family stronger. We will always be grateful for Mike and his services. He is always, always there for you when you have questions and his boarding services are the best! Willy and Lily love to go to Mike’s when we are on vacation because it’s like they are on vacation too! You’re the best Mike!”
