FURTHER INFORMATION:

Obedience and Manners...

Obedience training is an investment into a well-behaved pet.  Taking a pragmatic approach, we offer customized dog and puppy training.  We get to know your dog and find their motivation, using praise, affection, marker training, and various drives.  All new behaviors are taught through positive reinforcement and are proofed for reliability in real life.  We teach all obedience, from basics and manners to advanced off-leash training.  You will believe it when you see it- Your dog can learn to focus on you around distractions.

Training is customized for your dogs unique personality and to meet your goals.  Training is not just the physical actions (sit, down, etc), but obedience teaches your dog to work for you and be well-mannered-- we get reliable behavior for real life.  What good is obedience training if your dog only listens when he wants treats, or only listens "sometimes"?  We encourage trust, mutual respect, and clear communication.  Training never ends, and is lifelong.  No dog of any age is "completely trained", they are learning every day, just like we are!  See Training FAQ for more info about our board & train program

About Behavior problems...

Are you dealing with a hyper, fearful, destructive, rebellious, or anxious canine?  Whatever your issue is, we have likely seen it before and we know solutions that will work.  We do not blame the dog- behaviors that are totally natural to dogs may be very unacceptable to us. But dogs must exist in our society and live in our homes, so they must play by our rules.  This is why there are professional dog trainers to coach you to gain the respect and positive behavior you want.

Aggression Problems...

We are doggie problem solvers, and we work with all types, ranging from teaching manners to the friendly family puppy, to rehabilitating aggressive canines.  While others may fear aggressive dogs, we step right in confidently to asses the situation objectively and provide solutions.  There is a scale of aggression for dogs, and you may not know exactly how "severe" the issue is.  All you know is that there's a problem here.  Many behavior problems can be managed or eliminated.

Or maybe you feel your dog is out of control.  The truth is most dogs don't want to lead the pack, they don't want to be in charge, and they usually don't want to get into fights.  They just don't know any alternate behaviors yet and may be acting out.  Your dog wants to look at you as a competent and fair leader, and wants to know whats expected of him.   Remember, Just because you saw a technique work on tv doesn't mean it's a good idea to try on your particular dog.  Well-meaning friends or family may give you advice, but trying things yourself may make not help your situation.  If you are experiencing any aggression issues, you need a trainer who is a behavior specialist.

We're experienced in understanding dogs...

We have experience with all personalities and all breeds small to large.  We want to bring understanding to you, and represent your dogs best interest by helping his owners understand his behavior.  The first thing we can help you with is understanding dog psychology- why is your dog behaving this way, and how do dogs think?  What are the communication signals dogs use?  We read these signals and interpret them to be able to customize our training.  

Training YOU...

Once you have an understanding for they "why's" of your dogs behavior, the next thing we will help with is actually showing you how to change the behavior for the long-term, using your communication signals (language, cues) because we are not dogs- We cannot growl at them when they're naughty.  To own a dog, you must be a leader.  Proper training is the key, and there is a system to it.  You, and any family members, will learn the handling of your trained dog and how to be consistent at home.  We train your dog, but also you!

*We Offer Free Evaluations
Many trainers charge for evaluations, after all, time is money.  Why did we choose to offer free evaluations?  Because we want you to see how we train and compare.  We want the best outcome for you and your dog.
(*In-home evaluations and training is an additional travel charge)

*Rescue Dogs- The trainers of Dynamic Dogs often volunteer free or offer discounts to dogs in the care of a licensed rescue or foster home.
