Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
Elaine Cury offers private dog obedience lessons, each lasting approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The training focuses heavily on working with the dog owner to teach them how to communicate effectively with their dog and address specific behavioral issues. Lessons are conducted in the client’s home, where most problem behaviors occur, or at a dog park. Elaine evaluates each dog’s temperament, personality, and environment to create a personalized training plan. Homework is provided at the end of each session to reinforce learning. She also works with multiple dogs in a family to promote a harmonious household.
Testimonials
“Don’t spend your time and money unwisely on “Puppy Training” classes at your local pet store. Elaine will come into your home and teach you how enforce natural boundaries and commands to your puppy at an early age. I highly recommend Elaine to all of our new puppy owners.”
– Arlene Quinn, Golden Glory Golden Retriever Breeder, PA
“Two visits with Elaine have made such a change in our German Shepherd. It is so much easier to walk her. She no longer pulls on the leash and walks beside us. I was so proud of her on a recent walk. A family with a Pitt Bull came towards us and they were having problems keeping their dog under control. I did was Elaine had instructed us to do when walking and Liebchen totally ignored the other dog and walked beside me without any tugging. Elaine’s approach is so behavior oriented and she helps you understand why your dog does what he/she does. She also successfully instructed us in preventing Liebchen from rushing to the door. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog! Thanks Elaine!”
– Nancy Kirk Satisfied Grandmother
“Elaine was amazing. It was like having Caesar in my home. My Great Pyreneese rescue has problems with visitors and barking. In one session, Elaine taught me how to be a pack leader and the result was a different dog. He feels better and so do I. Not to mention my sweet dog who gets frightened at noises. I highly recommend Elaine.”
– Regina Keller What a difference a day makes!
About the Trainer
Elaine Cury Dog Obedience provides private, in-home dog obedience lessons. Elaine has been training dogs since 1989, focusing on dog psychology rather than human psychology to achieve success. She specializes in addressing aggressive behavior and other common behavioral problems.
Each lesson lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, with significant time dedicated to working directly with the owner. Elaine evaluates the dog’s temperament, personality, environment, and the owner’s relationship with the dog to develop a customized plan. She also provides homework for clients to practice between sessions.
Elaine offers boarding services exclusively for dogs she has previously trained, where dogs stay in her home rather than a kennel. Lessons can take place in the client’s home or at a dog park, allowing for corrections in the environment where unwanted behaviors occur.
