Home Is This For You? Train Your Dog

IS THIS FOR YOU?


Our services are designed for people who need better control of their dog, but don't know the best way for getting their dog to do what they want. Some of the symptoms we see include dogs that are:

  • jumping
  • pulling on the leash
  • ignoring owner requests
  • stealing items from the counters and tables
  • playing "catch me if you can"
  • running away

We tend to work with busy people in Frederick, Howard, and Montgomery counties who love their dog, think of him as part of the family, and would like him to be well-mannered. Things that are important to the client for the dog to learn include:

  • listening better
  • coming when called
  • walking nicely on leash
  • greeting visitors without jumping
  • being gentle around children
  • staying off the counters and tabletops
  • paying attention to their owners amid distractions

See how we’ve helped others just like you turn their dog into a well-behaved member of the family!
