Oh sit! New Training Programs
You guys have been asking and we're answering! We are now offering in-facility private lessons. Our three new programs are:
These Paws Were Made for Walkin'
Lungers Anonymous (On leash reactivity)
Dapper Dog Obedience Training
These Paws Were Made for Walkin'
This one on one, private lesson class is for non-reactive puppies and dogs who just need to learn a proper loose leash walk. It is custom designed to help you and your dog walk together in harmony. You will meet at Fetching Pet Company once a week for one hour for 4 weeks to learn a proper loose leash walk. (This is not a class to learn a formal heel)
We will cover:
How dogs learn
Focusing on you instead of distractions and name response
Leave it
How to teach a proper loose leash walk
Sit when stops
You will meet with our trainer once a week for a one hour session for four weeks while receiving written weekend homework for the remainder of the week to complete before your next lesson. Cost for four weeks: $480 (30% deposit due at the time of booking)
"Will this class benefit me if my dog barks, lunges, and goes crazy when seeing another dog or person on walk?" No! If your dog is reactive on leash when seeing other humans or dogs then they would be a better fit for our Lungers Anonymous Program. Lungers Anonymous Program
Lungers anonymous is for reactive, non-aggressive dogs. We will cover:
How dogs learn and why they react
Loose leash walking and handling skills
Reading your dog’s body language
Focus and name recognition
Recognizing distance thresholds
Counter conditioning and desensitization
This class is 6 weeks long, meeting once a week and giving weekly homework that you must complete in order to be successful between in-person lessons. This class will help create an alternative response to your dog seeing a specific trigger or stimulus that would usually cause your dog to be reactive. *This class is not for dogs who are human/dog aggressive or have bite histories*
6 weeks of private lessons meeting once weekly: $840 (30% non-refundable deposit must be paid at the time of booking) If you are currently in another training program and need to separately work on reactivity as well then you will have the option of a 4 week program, meeting once weekly, at $520 for 4 weeks. (A 30% deposit due at the time of booking) *This option is only for dogs who are currently enrolled in other training programs*
Dapper Dog Obedience Training This is a six week program for dog owners who want to do most of the obedience training themselves while having our certified professional trainer instruct and teach them how to build long lasting bonds with their dog while teaching their dog necessary obedience skills. This program is custom designed to meet your specific goals. We can cover:

Proper Balance of mental stimulation, physical stimulation, and rest
Marker Training

And more
The amount covered will depend on your goals, your dog, and your consistency at home. Each week, you will receive weekly homework to complete in-between the private lessons with our trainer.
