I have vast experience of 25 years working with dogs of many breeds and personalities. I offer in-home dog training and behavior modification services, which include a wide variety of custom-tailored programs. Among them, you will find puppy training, basic obedience, and behavior modification. Many of my cases involve dogs with anxiety, fear, guarding, aggression, reactivity, just to name a few.

Regardless of the training venue, my methods are science-based and focused on positive reinforcement. My current rate is $225 for 3 one hour sessions. Experienced Professional Dog Trainer

Training Tip:
Teaching a new command:
When you are first teaching a new command ,you can say the command word before or after the dog does what you want.
If you pick up a ball and the dog sits, you can say "Good Sit" and reward the dog by tossing the ball.
Or you can pick up the ball and ask the dog to sit, then toss the ball as the reward.
Either order works fine when initially teaching a new command.

Training Tip Tuesday:

When your dog is learning a new task give him treats consistently. Over time, fade the food rewards to every third time.
