About

I teach people how to become dog trainers. We talk about dogs and dog training. While I talk I also mark (click) good* behaviors. When I click, you reward the dog. We continue until the dog is calm enough to learn. Then you begin training Dog training also involves people learning new ways of looking/seeing and some simple physical skills. There is too much material to cover in one session. I have one set initial package; old dog, pup, housetraining, aggression, service/therapy, agility... The first session introduces you and the dog to "clicker training" with whatever YOU want to work on first. We work until you, the dog and I agree that "We got this!". Rinse and repeat for each skill. Currently working with masks indoors (outside weather permitting). * good is any calm behavior or focus on you.

Peter is very clear. We like to understand what we're doing and he gave plenty of information, answered all our questions, and gave very clear instructions about how to train our puppy. We got off to a great start while he was here, and we knew what we had to do to continue. We've made a lot of progress in the first week, and we are looking forward to our next session.

He was very communicative leading up to the training and was fantastic with the dogs. His system is simple to follow and makes perfect sense once he explains everything.

I had my first session with Peter the other day with my 11 week old pup. I already see a difference in her behavior. Can’t wait for my next session!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not complicated just unusual. My initial quote is for two sessions because I can't teach it all and you can't learn it all in one session. It's also too much for the dog. Follow up sessions are negotiated, factoring in time, frequency, distance ....
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I come to your home and begin with introducing myself to the dog and beginning the process of calming the dog down. Once the dog is a bit calmer I begin teaching by just "clicking and rewarding"any calm behavior so the dog can learn to take.a treat from my hand. Once the dog takes a treat progress begins!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I stay active through involvement with the American Kennel Club, "Canine Good Citizen" program as instructor/ evaluator. My B.S. is in Psychology. I've attended training classes and seminars. I'm certified as a Primary Tagteach Instructor, through a Karen Pryor endorsed program.
