Dog Training at Home: Offers both web-based training services and face-to-face private training sessions. The web-based training service is most appropriate for people who either cannot travel, or who live at a distance that would make in-person sessions training sessions prohibitively difficult. Some combination of web-based training and in-person sessions is ideal for most people, when some travel is feasible. Most face-to-face training sessions are held here, in my home in Norwich, Vermont. Because of my limited physical mobility, it may be impossible for me to train in your home. However, there are occasions when I do train in clients' homes. If I travel to your home, I charge for travel time in addition to training time. Objective: Dog Training at Home teaches you the skills needed to train your own dog, in your own home, at your own pace. This service offers dog owners who have limited time an opportunity to improve their relationship with their pet dogs. Dog Training at Home specializes in training assistance dogs. Not all dogs are suited to public access work (going every where in public that their people go) but many dogs can learn skills that enable them to help with tasks of daily living in the home. Together we can identify problem behaviors and training solutions. We can also train skills that may transform your dog from a rambunctious or destructive pet into calm and easily managed companion. Your pet dog might even become your willing and able assistant in tasks of daily living. You will learn gentle and positive training methods that incorporate praise, food and toys as reinforcement for positive behaviors.
