In-Home Private Training Sessions
Private training teaches your dog basic obedience skills and will address problem behaviors where they occur in your home or in their environment.
Leave the training to the Paws4training professionals! Our one-on-one training makes your life easier by giving you a dog that is a happy, well-behaved member of the family. We understand that every home and every dog are different. Let Paws4training take the hassle out of training by designing a custom, in-home program that is perfect for your unique situation.
We implement the most current and scientific methods available to help your dog. Behavior Adjustment Training BAT(developed by a local seattle trainer Grisha Stewert), is one of the methods we use along with classical conditioning (creating new positive associations)and desensitization (gradually introducing to stimuli). By giving your dog a new set of skills they learn to behave differently than barking, lunging, or snapping-biting.
We consult with your veterinarian about any health issues or need for medications and send them a report.
Along with teaching basic manners, here are some things we can help you with at home:
*Fear and Anxiety
*Possessiveness with Food or Toys
*Leash Reactivity due to Aggression or Overarousal
*Bringing Home your New Puppy or Dog
Initial Phone consultation included with your home visit at no charge.
In- home: Consultation 1 1/2 hour and follow up
(additonal sessions scheduled as needed)
Not enough time to train yourself. We know life gets hectic and there isn't always enough time to do what it takes to make progress with our dogs. We can visit your home and practice any training or behavior modification plan exercises we set for you and your dog. Then we meet with you to make sure you understand the exercises and help you implement them.
Studio private sessions: Work one on one with us at your convenience with basic training.

 Separation Anxiety
While you may not be familiar with canine separation anxiety, you are probably familiar with its symptoms. While you are gone, your dog may do one or several of the following:
Chew destructively, bark or whine, inappropriate urination and/or defecation, drool, pace, tremble, vomit, or worse
Fear and Anxiety
Fear of people, dogs, sounds, and objects-
Fear in dogs can cause anxiety, stress and lead to health issues.. Helping your dog overcome their fear through desensitization and counter conditioning(pairing with something that your dog REALLY LOVES) can help them live a longer, healthier life.
Resource Guarding
Growling at you or other dogs over, feeding bowls, toys, bones, or sleeping areas.
Leash Reactivity
Lunging and barking at dogs or people while on leash
We work with clients struggling with their dogs on leash with reactivity issues. This behavior can stem from fear and/or overarousal. We teach you handlng skills so you are prepared and teach your dog a more appropriate behavior at the same time helping them overcome their fear.
New puppy at home
Set up confinement and management areas to keep your puppy safe and prevent unwanted behaviors, introduce to other dogs, cat, new baby or children
New Dog orientation
Newly adopted dogs need the same management and boundaries that puppies do. When you bring a dog home from a shelter, or from a previous home we don't always know what kind of training or issues they might have. It is important to start them off with training, schedule and management to avoid any problems. Generally when you bring a new dog home they are on their best behavior for the first couple of weeks. This is commonly known as the "Honeymoon Period"! As soon as they settle in and feel more comfortable they will revert to their normal behaviors. This may be chewing, barking, or stealing food off the counters. Learn how to avoid these before they start. |
