The Inner Dog - Private Dog Training - Long Branch, NJ
Your dog is a big part of your life and you do everything you can to make it a great life. BUT, your dog can still make you frustrated, aggravated, worried or even scared.
1. Does your dog need help with life skills, social skills and manners?
2. Do you feel your dog is "stubborn", "dominant", behaves "out of spite", barks incessantly?
3. Is your dog fearful of you, people, dogs, noises, on walks, new places, etc.?
4. Does your dog bark, growl, lunge, snarl, or snap at people, dogs, cars, etc.?
5. Does your dog guard his food, chewies, toys, furniture or a family member?
6. Has your dog bitten someone or another animal?
Life skills and manners are fun to teach and change but Fearful, Reactive & Aggressive dogs, while much more challenging, are MY SPECIALTIES. Everything we'll do is force free, fear free, pain free and based on peer reviewed canine scientific research from around the world with proven real world results.
No matter the challenge, I'm here to help and here's how we'll do it:
TRUST: means that your dog will feel safe, that his brain will able to learn, retain what's learned and even when your dog is nervous or scared, your dog will know that you'll keep him safe.
