Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Other

The training process begins with a complimentary home demonstration where George assesses the dog’s behavior and interacts with both the dog and owner. Private lessons start at the client’s residence, introducing four fundamental routines, with an initial phase of two home lessons. Subsequent private lessons reinforce home-related routines. Group classes are 10-week programs for all levels, providing a secure environment for practicing new routines in real-world scenarios. The board and train program is a minimum of 3 weeks, during which dogs reside with the trainer, learning the initial three weeks of the ten-week course and experiencing different environments. Clients meet with the trainer and their dog once a week during this program. Pack walks are group walks with other clients to socialize dogs and ensure they are controlled in various environments.
