SERVICES
In-Home Training
Many behavior problems begin at home. After evaluating
the source of the problems, we will help you change your
dog's behavior. There is no reason to live with annoying
habits. We can set up a program designed for your specific
needs. Your dog will be happier and in turn, you and your
family will have a dog to be proud of.
Three one hour sessions $225
Puppy Training
Puppies are adorable! Their behaviors are often excused.
But, they grow up so quickly that these behaviors can
become serious problems. Training should start the day
you bring your pup home. We would like to help you
prepare your home prior to bringing your pup home. This
would include how to introduce your pup to the family or
other pets, housebreaking, sleeping arrangements, feeding
and types of food, walking on leash, and general care of
your pup. If you already have your pup, we can help you
with all the above plus, what we believe is the most critical
factor in an 8 week to 6 month old puppy's life; SOCIALIZATION
Proper socialization entails exposing a pup to as many
sounds, sights, people, places, animals, and locations.
The more things your pup sees at an early age the easier it
will be for them to adjust to new things as they grow up.
The investment you make in training your pup now will save
a lifetime of frustration.

Leadership Program
Who has the best seat in the house? If you answered the
Dog, then this is the program for you. Is your dog ruling the
house? Reclaim your kingdom.
Dogs only know two positions; leader and follower. If you
do not take the leader position they have no choice but to
take over. What will the dog think when all of a sudden you
become the authority figure? The majority of dogs are born
to be followers. They will be glad to relinquish the role of
pack leader.
This program can help with leash pulling, guarding
food/toys, housebreaking, and even some forms of
aggression. We will meet for two hours to evaluate the
problem and design a plan for you to follow at home, calling
in to report your progress. $175
Total Immersion Dog School
We are dedicated to creating a happy dog with acceptable
behavior.
Your dog will live in his/her teacher's home environment for
two fun filled, but structured weeks.
The lesson plan includes:
Basic obedience; come, sit/down and stay, walk on a loose
leash,
Behavior modification; no jumping on people, barking and
chewing inappropriately, digging in the yard, not ignoring
you, being overly excited, and
Field trips for socializing in public places, or any other
behavior you would like changed, as agreed upon in our
initial meeting, to create a happy home.
We use the E-Touch method which allows dogs to
understand what we are saying to them and in turn, what
they are saying to us. This multifaceted approach uses all
five senses that are quickly understood by the dog.
After this foundation is established, you will meet your new
well mannered dog and learn how to continue his/her
education in a 90 minute session with the teacher.
If, in the future, questions or problems arise, you may call
us for help at no extra charge. This service is provided for
the life of your dog within your family.
Fee includes all training equipment $1400.00
This service is appropriate for dogs 6 months and older.
Please call for a free consultation to discuss your training
needs. 925-285-9194

"Denise has been such a great help
with our dog Harley, a German
Shepherd. He is almost like a new
dog, so much more well-behaved! We
recently got another German
Shepherd, named Bella. It was no
question that we would be using
Denise to help with training. My mom
has also started using Denise to assist
with training her Miniature Dachshund,
Sammy. I would recommend Denise to
anyone that needs or wants help with
training their dogs!"
