MY
BEST FRIEND works for YOU and your dog....We teach you how to
communicate
with
your dog the way we
do, and with practice, your dog will listen to YOU just as well
as your dog listens to us! If you can learn how to play the
child's game...."Hot & Cold", you know....one person leaves the
room and when they come back the rest of the group tries to
direct the person to do a designated task by saying only, "Your
getting hotter" or "Your getting colder, your freezing", then
you can train your dog! YES dogs can be trained at any age! No,
you do not have to be physically strong....even with a 150 lb.
dog! Yes, even your children over 5 can help train the dog! CALL

Training Offerings
Group Classes

Group
classes are affordable and not only help to train your dog but
also aid in socializing your dog with dogs and people. That is
the first choice for many people who then follow up with private
training as needed.
Beginning Level
classes cover sit, lay down, stay, loose leash walking, greeting
people on all fours, leave-it, waiting at gates and doorways,
come when called, social obedience and distractions come with
the territory (i.e. class location is usually at a park)… your
dog will learn to obey on leash in public, just where you need
it! Term: 7 weeks Space limit: 8 new dogs class duration: 1
hour (free repeats for life)
Intermediate Level
classes cover Heeling
at the left side of the handler, Distance stays (of course with
distraction) and skills needed to pass the Canine Good Citizen
test. Term: 7 weeks Space limit: 8 new dogs class duration:
1 hour (free repeats for life) click
here for details on the CGC test
Advanced Level
classes cover whatever we want (the students decide first week)
primarily the goal is to work the dogs to an “off leash” level…
this is not a free repeat class as the curriculum changes with
the students wishes. Term: 7 week Class duration: 1 hour
Space limit: 8 new dogs
Fun Nose Work
classes are taught by
Amy, Ron, and
Jill, and will take place at
the
Toluca Lake location. Dogs
have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt.
This class focuses on teaching you how to encourage and develop
your dog’s natural scenting abilities by using their desire to
hunt and their love of toys, food and exercise. It’s a great
class for your dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn lots
of mental and physical energy and to find out just how good is
your dog’s nose.
The dogs in this class
must be crated between turns and must be quiet in the crate to
insure that the instructor can be heard by all.
Term: 6 weeks. Space limit: 6 dogs. Class duration: 1 ˝ hours.
This class is not Free Repeat

Private Training and Behavior Modification
If
you are having problems with raising your new puppy and the vet
says puppy is too young still for class, a
single
private session to deal with puppy issues may be
the way to go. Housebreaking (potty training), grooming,
chewing, biting, jumping up...etc usually can be handled in a
single in-home session for a young pup
and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The cost is $120
per session within 30 minutes of Reseda, CA. $10 off
automatically if you pay by cash or check.
If
you are experiencing problem behavior with an adult dog such as
escaping, digging, chewing, excessive fear, fear biting, food
guarding, toy guarding, separation anxiety, or issues handling
multiple dogs or “dog to dog” aggression, we can help you with
that privately. In many cases we can help you in
a single
session (about 1.5 to 2 hours) followed by group
training. If we feel you would need multiple training sessions
we can give you an estimate of how many sessions we think it
will take based on our experience with other dogs that have had
similar issues. The Cost is $120 per session within 30 minutes
of Reseda, CA. $10 off automatically when you pay by cash or
check.
If we
can't help you in a single session, we may suggest a training
package for better value.
You may
choose a four, six or ten session package. And
remember, our 6 and 10 session obedience packages include
"Forever Training"...that means free beginning group class for
life!
($300-800 per package)
If you come to us, we will deduct $20 off of each of your
sessions.
One
last option,
I can come
to you daily and train your dog for 5 weeks… this
includes once a with you and your family, and 4 sessions with
your dog per week, I only do this for people within 10 miles of
my place in Reseda. The cost for this is $1550.00. now you
don’t even have to do the practicing, just follow the
maintenance instructions I leave you! Call to set up the first
session.
