Dog Training Methodology

I Love Dogs offers customized, flexible solutions for resolving dog behavior challenges and improving the quality of life with your dog. Programs are tailored to fit your dog’s specific personality and issues, designed to accommodate your household’s distinct lifestyle, and provided one-on-one in your home.

Services include basic obedience training instruction and resolution of common behavior issues such as barking, house training, jumping, counter surfing, fear, and aggression. They also specialize in walking on leash, working one-on-one with owners first in the home, then on the road for instant coaching to achieve a dog that doesn’t pull.

For households with children, I Love Dogs works to help children learn safety around dogs and create true friendships between dog and child. Children are welcome to attend obedience and leash walking training sessions with a supervising parent or legal guardian.

About the Trainer

I Love Dogs provides behavior consulting and obedience training specifically for small dogs. Chris King, the founder, offers customized, flexible solutions to resolve dog behavior challenges and improve the quality of life with your dog.

Services are tailored to fit your dog’s specific personality and issues, designed to accommodate your household’s distinct lifestyle, and provided one-on-one in your home. They focus on successfully handling the special needs of small dogs up to 15 pounds, understanding that the world is different from a small dog’s point of view.

I Love Dogs also offers pet sitting services on a case-by-case basis for small dogs (10 pounds or under), cats, and pocket pets. They do not provide overnight sitting, sitting for long-term owner absences, or pet sitting for dogs over 10 pounds or with separation anxiety.
