The method employed in training your pet has been developed over thirty years by Sandy Finley, our founder, and is known as Flow Training. The principle behind this method lays in the belief that obedience, and canine mental health all "flows" from certain universal traits of dog behavior. Just teaching a dog to do tricks will never be a long lasting recipe for contentment for either your pet or its owner. The misbehaviors and neurosis seen in many dogs can never be corrected by " obedience training".
There are numerous dog obedience schools, positive reinforcement trainers, clicker trainers, books, videos and other strategies to train your dog. Why choose Perfect Manners Dog Training? Please carefully consider the following facts. As a dog owner, contacting us now can put you in charge of the happiness of your family and dog.
At Perfect Manners, I do not train your dog. The training sessions will involve evaluating your dogs temperament and training you to appropriately train your dog in harmony with his/her individual training needs. I will instruct and guide you to train your dog to accept you as their leader and follow your commands.

After weeks of searching for trainers for my one-year-old rescue, I came across Perfect Manners and felt like it was the right fit. I am so happy I chose to work with them! Sue came over to our home and her presence immediately changed the way my dog acted. She was calm but firm and left me with the knowledge I needed to learn as a new dog owner. She walked me through everything and was able to answer all my questions before I even asked them.

You can tell how knowledgeable she is about dog training. It has only been a few hours since our session, but I can feel that the dynamic between me and my dog has dramatically shifted. Seeing how much my dog learned in one hour, I'm now very optimistic about his ability to be trained and even more confident in my ability to train and bond with him.

One visit we learned the basics to train our very large, very playful puppy! We purchased a four session package and in the first visit, Sue taught us how to communicate with our pup. We had no clue as to what we were doing wrong but knew to seek help. This is incredible - 24 hours ago our pup was knocking us down and biting.

Perfect Manners Dog Training is the best! After having a couple of different trainers come over to train our golden retriever puppy with no results, we called Perfect Manners. Sue came in for a couple of sessions, and in just the first session, we noticed a huge, positive difference! With her calm, gentle but assertive approach, our puppy became calmer, obedient and we felt in total control! He is now a happy, well behaved dog with no issues! Perfect Manners saved the day!

If you're looking for some help in training your dog, look no further than Perfect Manners. We had the pleasure of working with Sue for the last few months with our newly acquired rescue Bandit. We have learned so much working with her regarding the proper way to mold his behavior so he becomes a great canine citizen. Of course it's up to us to continue with what Sue has taught us, but we feel with Perfect Manners in our corner we will be successful.

We had 4 sessions with Sue and it was a wonderful experience to learn how dog good manners training changed Heidan's behaviors. Great lessons and the advice. Thanks Sue very much for everything!

Our trainer Sue S. Is AMAZING! We were not doing well training our dog on our own she was very anixious and hard to control. But after our first session with Sue we saw an immediate and huge improvement in our dogs behavior. Not only does she do a great job showing you how to train your dog she takes the time to explain why dogs behave they do so you really understand the importance of proper training. I would highly recommend Sue if you need help training your dog!

We adopted a chihuahua puppy so wanted to give training a try. Had Sue from Perfect Manners for a first lesson and we were impressed. She is very patient and energetic, and has lots of knowledge to share. While now it's up to us to continue with what she taught us, I do have to say that later that evening, my puppy sat down nicely for me.

We had the most amazing experience with our Oscar! He was safe and helped to establish the start of his obedience training, through daily routines and practice. Thanks! We will definitely be back. We just enjoyed our first family walk, at 11 weeks;

We hired Perfect Manners to train our five month old golden retriever and could not be more happy with the results. Our dog now sits, walks at heel, lays down and stays and is no longer prone to distractions or tugging when he sees something or another dog. Our trainer Sue was fantastic - she was so nice and friendly and very clear in how she was going to train our dog and what to expect.

Our dog spent about ten days with Sue and her family and had a great time. Sue was diligent about daily progress reports and sent us a bunch of great pictures and videos showing that progress being made. Very happy that our perfect dog is even more perfect now with good training.

We have had Sandy work with us 14 years ago with our first golden doodle puppy and with incredible success. So here we are with our second doodle and we called him again. This puppy had anxiety issues and Sandy was able to watch us interact with him and took him for a walk, immediately recognizing the issues at hand. He helped us discern what mixed signals he was receiving, gave us some homework and here we are 48 hours later and he is completely calm.

He no longer has to be in the same room with me whining for me when I am not close. He goes outside confidently and alone. Now we can actually take him on a walk and he isn't panicking with anxiety. Sandy is the best and I recommend him to all my friends.
