The Developing Canine Behavior and Training

The Developing Canine offers several programs. The Puppy Consultation is for puppies aged 7-12 weeks, focusing on house training, biting, and socialization. The Foundation Program teaches essential skills like leash manners, sit, down, recall, relaxation, door manners, place, potty and crate training, and preventing biting and jumping.

The Off-Leash Program aims to provide reliable off-leash obedience, addressing issues like jumping, barking, digging, and chasing. Group Socials are available after private training to generalize learned skills and foster positive social behavior.

Tail Blazers is an exclusive program for Off-Leash Training Course graduates, focusing on guided outdoor adventures. Online Learning provides personalized coaching for convenience and flexibility, especially for shy or reactive dogs.

Carolyn Weinbaum, a seasoned professional with a passion for animal training since 1984, founded The Developing Canine Behavior and Training in 1995. She brings a unique training approach, drawing from her extensive experience with marine mammals at the Miami Seaquarium and diverse species at New Orleans’ Audubon Zoo.

The business aims to nurture life-changing bonds between dogs and their families by training ordinary people to have extraordinary dogs. They offer a range of services including Puppy Consultation, Foundation Program, Off-Leash Program, Group Socials, Tail Blazers (for off-leash grads), and Online Learning.

The programs focus on transforming dog behavior, strengthening the bond between dogs and owners, and promoting well-adjusted companions through comprehensive training and socialization.
