Note, July 30, 2012:
Our training services
have, at least temporarily, been discontinued. We
are sorry, but will be happy to assist you in a basic
evaluation, and make referrals to someone who will be able to
help you. If/when we are ready and able to resume training
services, we will post an update here.
_______________________________________________________
Bones offers private training geared
specifically to your dog and your needs. Initial
evaluations and consultations are free. We do not offer
group classes.
We provide clients a safe, private and
enjoyable experience with each and every class. We believe
that each session should be custom tailored to fit the
personality and skills desired for each dog to reach his full
potential.
Obedience training is one of the best things
you can do for yourself and your dog. It doesn't solve all
behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just
about any problem. Training opens up a line of
communication and bonding between you and your dog, providing
challenge and mental stimulation so important for canine
development.
All training involves the three (3) divisions
of obedience:
Learning, Correction and Distractions
PUPPY BASICS

BASIC OBEDIENCE
(on leash):
Heel, sit, down, stay & recall
ADVANCED
OBEDIENCE (off leash):
Advanced Obedience begins after all phases of
Basic Obedience have been mastered. Advanced prepares you
and your dog to move into arenas of agility, search and rescue,
therapy, obedience competition, etc.
Advanced Obedience includes (but is not
limited to) the walking down, walking stand, long stay, long
recall, etc.
After completion of our program, Bones offers
continuing education for your dog. Whenever your dog
boards with us, or attends PlayCare, we reinforce learned
behaviors and commands. We are also available for phone
consultation.

"People sometimes cringe at the
thought of training, as if its purpose were to quench a
dogs spirit ... NONSENSE ... Genuine training is about
freedom for both ourselves and our dogs to enjoy each
other, enhancing our relationship by allowing their
potential to blossom in the patient context of trial and
error, praise and appreciation."

"I tell people that your dog
can love you and not respect you. You cannot love
your dog into respecting you. Love and respect are
two unrelated emotions when referring to a relationship
with a dog."
