Are you feeling overwhelmed by your dog's behavior?  Is your dog experiencing behavioral problems such as excessive barking, separation anxiety, lunging, fearfulness or noise phobias?  Or maybe you are just feeling anxious about all the work involved in changing your dog's behavior.  

If this sounds like your situation, we have a solution for you.  Private consultations & training lessons help you find an effective solution to behavior problems.  Day Training programs provide training for your dog while you are at work, or while you are observing.  

Getting Started with Private Dog Training-How It Works

Quality Dog Training
 
Dog Training Consultation: The initial dog training consultation takes place in your home environment, or at our Holland Dog Training Center. It is essential to obtain accurate behavior & medical histories to formulate a treatment plan. We will send you a behavior profile prior to your first appointment.  This is the information we start with to help diagnose your dog & determine an appropriate behavior & training program. This is the first step in starting Private Dog Training Lessons. 

After we receive your dog's profile your trainer will meet with you & discuss your dog's behavioral training program.  Plan a good 2 hours without any distractions for the initial consultation. 

  • Discuss your dog's behavior & medical history 
  • Discuss your goals for your dog in detail
  • Basics on how dogs learn & positive reinforcement 
  • Outline a behavior & training program
  • Handouts
  • Dog training & behavior books & supplies may be recommended 
  • We will then set up your Private Dog Training Package to meet your goals.
    • Your dog needs to have daily training sessions to increase the likely hood of success.  This can either be your responsibility, or you can utilize our Day Training Program.

Dog Training Lessons: After the initial Dog Training Consultation your customized training & behavior program for you and your dog(s) will begin.  Your trainer will work with you and your dog weekly or bi-weekly to meet your needs and goals.  This is where your dog trainer will help you train & understand your dog and his behavior. Together you will work through basic commands, work on a behavior modification program, address behavioral issues and trouble shoot.  Please note, you will need to work with your dog daily in order to achieve success.  If you would rather your trainer work with your dog daily, please visit our Day Training Program.

Day Training Program:  Let us jump start your dog's training for you.  Here at Toledo Dog Training, we realize not everyone has the time to be proficient at training their dogs.  We have designed a program to lighten your load & jump start your dog's training program.  Day training is a convenient & effective way to get results.  We will come to your home, train your dog individually with your goals in mind.  After all, we are professional dog trainers!

Our day training program starts with the initial consultation to obtain accurate behavior & medical histories to formulate a treatment plan to meet your goals.  Your trainer will then set up a training program to work with your dog during a specific number of days/weeks.  You will be given regular notes on your dog's progress & suggestions on how to continue & reinforce those behaviors in between lessons.  Once a week you will meet with your trainer for a transfer lesson to discuss progress & to help transfer the training to you & your life.  After the initial training program has completed 1-3 follow up sessions will be scheduled to help ensure long-term success.  Prices
