Givens School of the Dog

Introduction: We base our own success on the success of our clients. When clients come to us saying that they have gone through training before, but have been unhappy, we always reassure them that this is typically not their own shortcoming. We feel it is the job of the trainer to ensure their client's success. We have had great results working with clients with every breed and type of dog. We attribute this to our "people-centered" approach, which trains owners right alongside their dogs. Having worked with service dogs, it is clear that dogs have the ability to change peoples lives. But, dogs need not be service dogs to do this. Pet dogs add so much value to our world and are important family members. Many times, dogs have to be given up because of behavior problems or lack of training. It is extremely rewarding to help dogs stay in their homes and to help build stronger bonds between owners and their pets.
