Rhiannon Smith

My name is Rhiannon. I am a positive reinforcement and food based dog trainer! I’ve been dog training for 2 years. I have 3 levels of training options available: Puppy/Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Here’s the breakdown of what is taught in each level: Puppy/Beginner: We’ll go over the basics like potty training, crate training, redirection, jumping, nipping, play biting, and separation anxiety. We’ll also learn basic obedience commands such as look/focus, touch, sit, down, loose leash walking, recall, leave it, drop it, wait, shake, rollover, and holding commands. Intermediate: We’ll add distraction, distance, and duration to the commands we learned already. We’ll also learn new commands such as Heel, place, holding place, stay, wait by the door, and greetings by the door. We’ll work on socialization with people and other pups. Advanced: For the advanced level we focus on getting your pup ready to take the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizens test (CGC). The CGC test shows that your dog has done its training and is a well mannered dog. Each level is positive reinforcement/ food based training. This means we do not use corrective tools such as prong collars, pinch collars, or E collars. We use treats to get the dogs to listen and do each command, as well as redirect the dog from doing bad behaviors. I do not discriminate against any breed, size or age! Each level takes 3 weeks to complete, though some dogs may need longer. Pricing for levels are $300 each. Extra sessions (1 hour) are $60 each. Please reach out with any questions :) I would love to help you out with training your adorable pup!
