Sit & Stay Dog Training & Behavioral Counseling

I have to say Thanks again for helping me and Fosse train to be pet therapists. We just came back from Waterview Nursing Home in Cedar Grove and I continue to be amazed at how well Fosse has blended into this endeavor. He is very excited to "go and see the people". I have worked with Joana on several occasions with my family's rescue dogs.

A six week class teaching socialization, housebreaking, understanding dog behavior, and how to gain a nurturing relationship with your puppy. The Puppy Kindergarten class is a fun and enjoyable way to teach your puppy so much! We will go over teaching good bite inhibition, confidence and social savvy for interacting with other dogs and people, how to interact with people and other pups as well as learning how to respond quickly and reliably to basic training cues such as a recall, sit, lie down, stand and wait in the midst of other dogs and people.

A rewarding six week class encompassing learning basic dog behavior, communication skills, body language, as well as teaching basic training commands. The Basics class is designed for friendly puppies and dogs who are learning the basic commands for the first time or need a little brushing up on what they need more help on. We teach all the basic behaviors using fun exercises so that you can communicate well with your puppy or dog and have fun learning.

This class takes the basic skills that your dog has already learned to a higher level. We will add more distractions and real life situations to proof the commands as well as working towards working off leash. The class will work towards the skills to pass the Canine Good Citizen test as well as the Therapy dog test.

The in home puppy kindergarten session is an all embracing consultation which covers every question and issue the new puppy parent may have. In home sessions include unlimited phone and email consultations about all topics covered as well as literature and videos covering important information. The Basics Class is the perfect complement once your puppy is old enough to attend.
