"My goal is to help your dog better understand his or her role in your family's chain of command. Working with the owner along with the dog is extremely valuable and essential for success. Dogs and their owners that understand the rules and boundaries of dog obedience generally live happier and healthier lives. My training techniques, or what I like to call "Pet-Etiquette,"" include the following:

Down
Sit
Stand
Stay
Automatic Sit
Sit/Stay
Down/Stay
Stand/Stay
Turnaround

Walk on a Leash

Behavior and attitude of both dog and owner are also examined. Some dog problem areas addressed are listed below but are not limited to:

Growling

Barking
Jumping
Running Off

Dog Aggression

Group Therapy - Your dog is joined by a group of dogs in essential training or refreshing the dog's response to cues. These sessions may extend from 45 minutes to 1 hour, once a week for 5 consecutive weeks.

Rejuvenation Treatment - These treatments are given in the privacy of the dog's home and/or at The Pawms. Individual training sessions last from 45 minutes to 1 hour, once a week for 5 consecutive weeks.

One-on-One Day Spa - These personal training sessions are tailored to the temperament of the dog and the handler. Training sessions are scheduled for 5 consecutive days. This helps reinforce the dog's attention to the handler in environments outside the home setting. After the 5 days the dog and handler enter into the Rejuvenation treatment.

Get Away Treatment - Your dog will be boarded at The Pawms Pet Resort for a full 4 weeks of daily mind and manners training. After completion of these intense training treatments your dog will demonstrate skills of a refined cooperative pet of a true southern family.
