Behavior Consulting/Private Lessons

Boarding & Training

Positive Reinforcement is the Key!

We want our dogs to behave and to learn.  Using positive reinforcement is the best way to teach them.  Positive reinforcement training is where a reinforcer, such as a treat or praise, is given to the dog after the dog demonstrates a desired behavior, such as sitting.  This type of training provides the best environment for learning and the best results.  Not only will your dog learn polite behavior, but humans might learn a few things, too!

Can older dogs learn new tricks? 

You bet!  Older dogs are actually easier to train.  Puppies have short attention spans and get easily distracted while older dogs are more focused.

Reactive and Shy Dogs

Kim and Renee have extensive experience in working with reactive and shy dogs.  We use positive reinforcement techniques first before suggesting other training methods or tools.  Our success rate is very high.  

Group classes are available, but we hold groups classes for difficult dogs on an as needed basis.  Contact Kim at 920.210.0764 to be put on a waiting list or to register for private lessons.
