Have trouble getting your dog to behave on a leash? Do they act up (become aggressive, fearful, or unruly) when they see other dogs or new people? Is it hard to get their attention when distractions surround you? Then this workshop is for you! It is the "foundation" for all my other training sessions. Sit back, watch and learn as I demonstrate the foundations of dog training with 2 to 3 demo dogs.

Hi Patricia! I just wanted to thank you for the clinic on Thursday, we learned a lot! It was a lot of fun and very informative, and when I took Mishka to Lowe's last night, she just cruised through the store with no issues at all. Thanks again! Your expertise is greatly appreciated, and I'm sure we'll see you again.

This is where the rubber meets the road. Now it's YOUR turn to train! I coach YOU as you practice your dog handling skills around the lake, walking past lots of other people, dogs, kids and more.

Here’s what clients have to say: "Thank you for the wonderful clinic. Skip and ! did about four 10 min training sessions today all the while with a loose leash. I am trying to reprogram both of our brains to have fun. Our walks had become agonizing. I was previously taught to correct Skip with a very sharp snap of the leash which frequently made him fly in the air. Thank you for demonstrating how a correction should be done. It is so much more gentler. I am in awe of how you work with dogs.

So, your dog is doing well on a leash and gets along with other dogs, but when off-leash, he doesn't always come back to you? This is the workshop for you. You will learn how to use e-collars to get your dog's attention no matter where he is. This class includes a review of your on leash handling before we move off leash, so make sure your dog is ready! *E-collars will be for sale here if you don't have one, $175

"Thank you for the pictures/ video of a phenomenal day for Briscoe and his new friends! This day changed our relationship immediately. I love how dogs can instantly forgive their handlers once we make the necessary adjustments to OUR behavior. We experienced this the very next day. I'm literally typing this with misty-eyes. Thank you patricia, for your expertise, keen eye, giving honest and needed assessments. Life changing for us.☺"
