pecial Rate for Henderson Locals and all Rescue animals:

PRIVATE IN HOME TRAINING by a certified Animal Behaviorist/Trainer with over 25 years experience. Customized for individual dog's needs and client's goals, covering all behavioral issues - problem prevention/intervention, safety, manners and basic commands.
Not all dog training approaches (or certifications) are the same. The CCPDT is internationally recognized and one of the few certifications recommended by the ASPCA and the HSUS - known for high standards of education/knowledge in applied animal behavior and an ethical/humane approach, among other requirements. Several major universities now offer up to a PhD for those entering the field of Applied Animal Behavior. This is the foundation to any sound training approach. Many approaches, including some "positive approaches", rely on techniques/tools, without the application of the science/psychology, often resulting in critical training errors. NO CHOKE CHAINS, PRONG OR SHOCK COLLARS used ever! Force, fear, pain or threats should not be used to motivate. Although these approaches can get a response, they are often not reliable when the threat can be avoided, in addition to causing many negative side effects. A well trained/educated professional would not use these approaches and knows you can get better results using positive reinforcement (vs. avoidance learning) to motivate. I have incorporated my background in education and behavioral psychology to teach both humans and animals using a positive and humane approach.

Training is customized for each individual dog's needs: Problem intervention, prevention, safety, manners and basic commands. A positive and motivational approach for both people and animals. While I am returning from a hiatus since my relocation from CA, I am offering a special rate for locals and rescue animals.

I am offering a special rate for Henderson locals and those who have rescued:
FULL COURSE: current price with discount $450 (regularly $600+), 4-6 sessions, depending on needs.
You don't need to spend $1000's for quality training. I keep costs assessable so that most pet guardians and animals can benefit.

$50-$150 one time additional flat-rate charge for travel outside Henderson/adjacent area
This is a temporary offer extended to LV locals while I make my return from a professional hiatus. Rates are subject to change. Must mention this ad to receive discount. Rescue discount requires proof of adoption.

NOTE: I am also open to bartering products/services at regular rates if mutually desired.

NOT ALL APPROACHES ARE EQUAL:
Although many approaches can get a response, unfortunately some of the current methods used by some "professionals" are not humane, sound, reliable or without negative side effects.
No choke chains, prong collars, shock/e-collars ever!

Training should enhance communication and bond between human and animal, not damage it.
I teach humans how to POSITIVELY motivate their companion animal using an approach based on scientific fact. Once you learn these principles, you will know how to effectively communicate and properly motivate your dog's behavior without the use of fear, force, pain or threats. Motivating the dog in a positive way will produce a happy, fast learning, reliable canine companion.

A healthy dog of any age can learn. Ideally, training should start as soon as you get the dog.
Don't wait until you have a problem. Start training early to prevent issues and learn how to better relate and communicate with your life long animal companion.

Las Vegas has the number one intake shelter in the country, taking in 100 - 150 each day. Close to this number are euthanized each day to make room for incoming animals. Please don't breed. Spay and neuter your animal. If you plan to add a new canine companion to your family, please rescue/adopt vs. buy!!!
