Sequoyah is a veterinarian-owned and -operated facility which offers a comprehensive training program for both owners and their dogs. Though we raise, train and specialize in German Shepherds, we also offer comprehensive training for other breeds. We specialize in correcting undesirable behaviors and training you to properly communicate with your pet. We prefer to prevent problems though, if we can, so we offer training from the very beginning. Often, professional dog obedience training is needed to correct a dog behavior or train your dog a particular set of skills. Dog training is our vocation. It is hassle free, affordable and professional.

We have a variety of trainers and are able to meet the needs of various breeds by custom tailoring our training for each special individual. Different dog breeds may well be in need of different training methods — for example, you can't use the same training style on a shy Chihuahua that you might use for an overly exuberant Labrador and expect the same results.

We specialize in obedience and personal protection training for your dog; we also have several trainers that specialize in smaller dog breeds. We can offer you a group of individual trainers who are committed to helping you and your canine friend understand each other better and thereby making both of your lives easier.

Our team is composed of trainers from across the spectrum of training philosophies who have an interest in furthering their knowledge of positive training. We have also acquired trainers in various parts of the country for those of you who might not be local. We can match you and your dog with a trainer that can best help you to reach your training goals. Our trainers include police officers, competitive sports trainers, and veterinarians, and we have continued contact with other dog trainers, dog club members, humane society personnel, service dog trainers and well-known trainers throughout the United States and abroad.

Question and answer

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Sequoyah is proud to offer not only a group of individuals that are dedicated to K9 training and are proud of their work, but we have the priviledge of also being affiliated with a fully staffed veterinary hospital as well as a full service grooming establishment. All of these individuals have the best interests of their patients/clients at heart and have the added benefit of being able to learn from each other. This allows Sequoyah to truely be a "cut above".

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. One of the things that I like most about MY job is working with the puppies and feeling the satisfaction of reaching that level of communication with my pup where we are now working as a team to figure out what the other one is asking for or needing from the other.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. One of the most common questions that I am asked is about what services we offer. In a nut shell, we try to taylor make our training program to fit each individual owner as well as each individual dog. So, in other words, you decide what services we offer.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. The one thing that I wish more people knew was what all a dog can be. On one hand many people expect too little of their dog by not realizing his abilities and often on the other hand, people except their dog to be mind readers. Training an exceptional dog will take as time and patience much like training an exceptional child. Only, you will probably have less grey hair when it is all said and done. ;-)
