Palm Springs Dog Training, Brooke Fagel

Palm Springs Dog Training offers customized, positive, reward-based programs. Day Training allows owners to drop off their dog for training, with parent/trainer review sessions and video tutorials provided. Private Training programs are merged with day training and are customized to fit the dog and family’s needs, with Brooke Fagel outlining the plan. Dog training focuses on basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall, loose-leash walking, waiting at the door, off, leave-it) and behavior issues, with proficiency in basic commands expected within 8 weeks with weekly sessions and 30 minutes daily practice. Puppy training is an in-depth program divided into two parts, covering housetraining, biting/mouthing, settling, attention, basic commands, impulse control, manners, handling, socialization, and leash manners. The Canine Rehabilitation Program addresses aggression issues like fear, dog, leash, food/resource guarding, child, and sibling aggression, starting with an initial consultation and providing ongoing support. Service Dog Training provides custom training for service dog teams, focusing on public access behaviors and specific tasks using positive reinforcement methods, including testing for Emotional Support Animals, Therapy Dogs, and Service Dogs (Mobility, PTSD & Anxiety, Hearing, Autism Support).
