Private In Home Dog Training - Charleston, SC
With over 8 years of dedicated experience in dog training, I understand that the most crucial element of effective training is the owner’s approach. Certified as an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and equipped with comprehensive Dog Obedience Training and Pet Behavior Modification credentials, I focus on fostering positive communication between you and your canine companion. My training philosophy emphasizes understanding what your dog truly needs, going beyond just commands to build a harmonious relationship. I am also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and Pet Tech, ensuring your pet's safety and well-being.
Many of the dog owners I collaborate with have cherished memories of childhood pets but are new to the responsibilities of being a dog parent. Dogs are not just play buddies; they require consistent attention and understanding. My in-home dog training services are tailored to bridge this gap, emphasizing communication skills and energy management to eliminate the cycle of constant "NO" and enhance listening. Together, we will explore crucial aspects like mental and physical exercises, dietary needs, and appropriate treat management. My goal is to ensure that you and your dog are attuned to each other, reducing frustration and enhancing your bond.
I proudly offer mobile services, providing personalized sessions within a comfortable travel radius, and I am fully insured for your peace of mind. Whether you have a small breed or a large one, I am equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs. With a 24-hour cancellation policy, I ensure flexibility in scheduling. Ready to strengthen your connection with your furry friend? Book me through Petworks today and embark on a journey towards a happier, more harmonious home!
