Sidekick Dog Training

Is your dog chewing on furniture? Barking at strangers? Digging up the garden? Having "accidents" in the house?

Are the dogs in your household squabbling? Did you just add a new dog to the mix? Do you want to go to the dog park, but are worried about how your dog will behave?

New puppy driving you wild? Just looking to teach polite manners around the house?

All of the above?!?

I have helped hundreds of families achieve household harmony...and I can help you, too!

(See Testimonials section for comments from past and current clients!)

Private training sessions allow us to address and change unwanted behaviors in the context where they occur - your house, the dog park, or even the vet's office.

I can help you with:

• Basic manners and obedience (sit, down, stay, come, leave it and leash walking)
• Management and modification of problem behaviors (chewing, barking, digging, jumping, mouthing and more)
• New puppy training and socialization, including housetraining
• Newly adopted dog adjustment, including housetraining
• Managing multiple dog households
• Dog/dog play and socialization, including field trips to the off-leash park
• Calming signals and reading canine body language
• Evaluating and managing aggression toward other dogs
• Socialization and improving fearful behavior
• Guarding objects (food, bones, toys, etc.) from dogs or people 
• Clicker training
• More!
