Responds within a day

Introduction: When you're searching for someone to help with your dog's behavior and training, hire someone with experience and knowledge. If you are looking for results and a common sense approach to training your dogs. Together we will develop a relationship based training plan to address all of your goals. I provide in home training for dogs and their humans. I also can help with behavior modification for issues like nuisance barking, general obedience, aggression, separation anxiety and leash manners as well as new puppy training services. Whatever you are looking for, I have probably already helped someone else with similar concerns. I really enjoy seeing the relief my clients experience when they thought there was no hope or had been told their dogs behavior could not be changed. As a professional with 16 years of experience, I can help when others have failed.

We have had our first training with Pete and our puppy, Tucker! I’m feeling energized and confident our pup will be a good, obedient dog because of the instructions from Pete! We still have more sessions and all the support we could ask for! I definitely recommend!

Details: 0 - 6 months old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • Puppy training • Leash pulling • House training • Biting • Chewing • My home, venue, etc.

The progress I've seen within a few sessions is absolutely amazing. Peter has shown me how to communicate with my 6 year old boxer in ways I never thought possible. I learned more about her body language and behavior in 30 minutes than I had in the previous 6 years owning her! Peter works to improve the relationship between dog and owner, not just training the dog to take commands. It's about building trust and respect. Totally worth the money and effort. If you're looking to create a positive relationship with your pet, Better Manners is most definitely the one to call.

Pete is fabulous! Great instructions and leadership. It has only been a week since we started but I really think this training will make a great difference in my relationship with both of my dogs.

I feel like he understands our dog and more importantly, how to train US to relate to him! Looking forward to working together over the next several months so that Charlie feels comfortable and "at home!"

Pete is an excellent trainer. Even though, with previous dogs, we have been through several types of training. Having Pete in the home he shows us real world ways to train our Samoyed puppy in such a way as she doesn't forget what she learned as soon as she leaves the trainer's premise. Highly recommend Better Manners for any dog training needs.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 1 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Puppy training • House training • Digging • Biting • Chewing • Crate training • Private dog training lessons • I travel to the dog trainer • The dog trainer travels to me
