DOG TRAINING SERVICES
We offer training services based on your needs and desires
grounded in our Train For Life® Methodology
What is our Train For Life® Methodology?
The Train for life® methodology takes a holistic approach to analyzing the lifestyle of the family unit to figure out desired outcomes for the dog. A family with 4 children that enjoys boating and soccer would likely need a different set of behaviors than someone who lives in a condo in Nashville alone with her dog. By first concentrating on your unique variables, we develop useful, custom training to fit your family. Our Train For Life® Methodology was created to be part of healthy, everyday enjoyable life with your dog! This method looks at the human-dog relationship not as Alpha/Beta, but as two species co-existing with each other where they each understand and accept the other’s needs. By first concentrating your unique goals and studying your dog’s individual personality, we can then develop and implement custom curriculum.
Some of the things your dog will learn by training with us:
- How to learn and communicate within a system
- Obedience around a multitude of distractions (on and off leash)
- “Come” when called in any environment
- No pulling on leash
- Door manners
- Place on command under high distraction with a stay until released
- Manners in the home and beyond
- Confidence building for any type of dog
- Elimination of unwanted behaviors
- The ability to take your dog anywhere, maximizing the safety and fun of having a dog!
We address behavior problems such as:
- Jumping on people
- Mouthing/Nipping
- House behavior challenges (barking, destructive behavior, housebreaking issues, etc)
- Separation anxiety
- Leash reactivity
- Hyperactivity or restless behavior
- Bolting through doorways
- Fence fighting
- Eating inappropriate items or destructive chewing behavior
- Resource guarding
What you will learn:
- Proper communication with your dog
- Proper use of rewards and corrections in training
- How to provide structure and guidance to your dog
- Lifestyle training habits to continue your dog’s good behavior and obedience
Benefits of training with us:
- Immersive Learning: Your dog will spend the entire day in a controlled environment where every decision is guided and reinforced. Many dogs find this type of environment to be therapeutic.
- Fast Results: Your dog learns directly from a professional, and receives several hours of hands-on training each day
- Less Stress On You: Let us work through the challenging early stages of training, and the tedious repetition that you may not have time for.
- Enhanced Customization: The amount of time we spend with your dog in the Board and Train program allows us to get to know him or her on a much deeper level. This way we can develop specific strategies and exercises directly targeted toward each individual. This is especially valuable in behavioral cases.
- Dog Trainer for life: With all board and train packages , you are supported for the life of your dog! If there are any problems that occur based on our previous training we help you free of charge!
