Dog Training, Board and Train - Swan, IA
Does your dog:
* Jump on you and others?
* Chew up everything in your house?
* Not know any manners?
* Mouth or nip you and others?
* Need Potty Training (either for the first time, or a refresher)?
* Cry / Howl in the crate?
* Just need some basic obedience and good manners?
I offer a fully inclusive Board and Train package. I train whatever you need (up to 6 obedience cues or 3 behavior problems in a 15 day program), it's completely customized to you and your dog's needs. Most dogs need 15-30 days, although I have made exceptions for easy cases. Any dog can be trained and it doesn't take excessive force. I train with LIMA principles, so as positive as possible, with the minimum amount of force possible.
I have experience with everything from standard obedience to solving dangerous behavior problems. I do take on some aggression cases, but it is on a case by case basis.

This is a 45 day package, tailored to the type of off leash, reliable cues anywhere, training you need. This is also the only package where the E Collar is included in price. Comes with one or more free in home sessions (at the first free I will determine if you are sticking with the training like the homework described, if you are you are allowed more free sessions. If your dog is backsliding and you aren't willing to keep up the training like it's supposed to be, I will cover everything again in the session, and make sure you are ready to continue your dog's lifelong training and maintain the collar training. You can gain the access to the extra free sessions if I'm shown something such as a couple good videos of dogs skills and your effort. I understand possible confusion even with the go home session and the booklet I give you that covers your dog's personal progress and how to continue)
