Puppy Clinic

The Puppy Clinic             1 In-Home Visit      $150
A Very Special In-Home Program

Picture
Who Should Participate?

Our Puppy Clinic is for puppies between 2 and 5 months of age.  This is an extremely important time in your puppy's life when good habits are easy to establish and bad habits are easily corrected.

What You Will Learn:
You will learn how to:
*Establish a relationship of mutual respect
*Head off bad habits such as jumping  - hand biting - chewing - housebreaking before they become adult problems!
*Deal with problems between your children and your puppy
*Socialize your puppy so he develops into a confident adult
*Cure bad habits and teach good manners
*Walk on a leash without pulling
*Come when he or she is called


The Clinic consists of:
A private, hands-on, in-home puppy class with our professional trainer to demonstrate proper training methods. Our Trainer works with you and your puppy, in the quiet atmosphere of your own home, to perfect your training skills and give you personal advise about YOUR DOG.


Why An In-Home Puppy Clinic Rather Than "Puppy Classes"?
Puppy "training" classes may make lots of money for trainers but usually accomplish very little in the way of "training" your puppy.

Young puppies have a limited attention span and are easily distracted.  They are better served by learning in the quiet atmosphere of their own home.  Puppy classes usually amount to little more than "play time". We teach you all of the techniques to get you off to a good start with your puppy and we concentrate our attention on your individual dog. We believe this provides you with expert personal advise without wasting your time or money.  

When Should I Start Formal Adult Training?
When your puppy is 5 months or older he or she will be ready for regular Obedience Training.  Before that age your puppy can easily become frightened or confused by adult training.  This will slow down his progress and damage the relationship of trust that you wish to achieve.  The skills you learn in the Puppy Clinic will head off behavior problems and teach simple skills that will make your puppy controllable and well-mannered without cutting short his "puppyhood".

What Can My Dog Learn in The Future?
Establishment Dog  Training, Ltd. offers 4 levels of training beyond Basic Obedience. We can teach your dog to carry your groceries, find your lost keys, run through tunnels, climb over obstacles, jump through hoops, retrieve, roll over, play dead, take a bow, obey silent signals, crawl, walk a catwalk and other fun skills. Once you have graduated from Basic Training, you may continue training to transform your dog into a "Super Dog".​


Important
Why We Recommend That You Start With
"​In-Home Training Program One"
​Training Now!


Unless you are confident and certain about which In-Home Program to select, In-Home Training Program One
​
(Described Below As "TRAINING NOW!") is recommended for the following reasons:

FIRST OF ALL
Despite the fact that most dog owners feel that their dog's behavior problems require significant or extended training, they are often surprised that we consider the problem easier to resolve.  The problem is that the dog owner simply does not understand the techniques for resolving those problem.  By approaching In-Home Training a step at a time
(beginning with In-Home Training Program One), you will save yourself a lot of time and money.

​SECONDLY
​The first In-Home Training Session gives you the opportunity to meet the trainer and gives the trainer the opportunity to meet you and your dog where the problem behavior is taking place.  During this all-important first visit, you and the trainer will be able to get a clearer understanding as to whether or not additional training is appropriate.  The decision to pursue additional In-Home Training is entirely yours.

​LASTLY
​If you decide to enroll in a larger program (such as the 4 visit, 6 visit or 8 visit program), the tuition that you have paid for the "Training Now!" visit will be applied to the tuition charge for the larger program AND the "Training Now!" In-Home Training visit will be considered the first visit of the larger program.

We also customize programs that may include a number of visits
not listed in the programs presented below.

The mini-basic-training course / Developing Control

Picture
This course was designed to meet any of the 3 following purposes:

Its first purpose focuses on resolving significant in-home behavior problems in dogs over five months old.  These chronic problems develop over a period of time during which the dog's behavior has gone "unchecked" and requires more attention than a single in-home visit can provide.

Its second purpose is as a "Mini-Basic Training Course" for people anxious to start working with their dog and want to get a head-start with some Basic Training Techniques.   Finally, it is also used by people who want "some training" but do not want the full In-Home Basic Training Course.  
 This course teaches the following commands and skills. (On-Leash Training Only):  
Walking On A Leash (without pulling), 
​Coming When Called, Sitting and Staying, Laying Down and Staying, General Manners.

Special Needs

Picture
Contact us by phone or email to describe your specific needs.
Here are just a few examples:

Litter pan training (small dogs only)
Owners who cannot take their dogs for a walk because of physical restrictions benefit from training their dog to use a specially designed pan.

Socialization with other pets
Is your dog aggressive or overly friendly with dogs or other pets?  We can "reprogram" him to interact in a mannerly way with other animals.

Dog and kids
Do your kids have trouble interacting with your dog.  We can work with the kids and pets to improve their relationship and develop a child-dog bond that will last a lifetime.
Aggressive behavior
Is your dog unfriendly with other dogs, friends, strangers, veterinarians, groomers or neighbors.  We can show you correction techniques to cure this aggressive behavior and help your dog learn mannerly behavior and self-confidence when he interacts with non-family members.
Design your own program
Do you have special circumstances or special needs?  We will help you design a program to meet your needs.

to enhance his best qualities and minimize his imperfections.

We will teach you the tricks that professional handlers use to capture the ribbons, how judges evaluate your dog and how to make your dog stand out in the crowd

Perfecting Handling and Performance for Dog Show Obedience Competition.
A four week in-home course.

AKC Obedience Trials have stringent rules that apply to both you and your dog.  These include: the number and type of commands that can be given, proper heel position, your body movements and handling of your dog between exercises. These impact the likelihood of sucess in earning the coveted CD, CDX  or UD titles.

We can familiarize you with up-to-date AKC rules, evaluate your dog's performance and help you to clean up those problems that lose points in the ring.  We will also evaluate your handling to help you and your dog to become a great working team that will "take home the ribbons".

NOTE: Dogs must be trained in all Basic Obedience work including:  Heeling on and off leash, Figure 8 on lead, Recall, Finish, one minute Sit-Stay, three minute Down Stay.  Dogs that have not yet mastered these skills should consider enrolling in our Basic Obedience Course.

Training For CDX or UD Competition also requires that the dog be previously trained in the skills required for these competitions.  Dogs that have not yet mastered these skills should consider enrolling in our Advanced Obedience Courses.

AKC Obedience Trials Too Boring?
A five week in-home course.

Learn Rally-O Training for a more natural training experience.  This is a five week In-Home Rally-O Training for fun and competition.

       Rally-O is a new training competition for those that feel that the stringent AKC Obedience Trials are too formal and stiff.  Rally-O combines Basic Obedience with natural movement.  The handler is allowed to speak to his dog throughout the performance and may use hand signals and natural body movements to communicate.

       Each Rally course is unique.  The handler and dog navigates a course marked with printed signs that tell them which skill to perform.  Unlike an AKC obedience trial, each course combines a new set of Basic Obedience skills in constantly varying order.  If your dog is bored with AKC obedience or you are looking for a more challenging experience to sharpen your dog's skills, Rally-O may be just what you are looking for.
