Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Word of mouth is known as the best way to get referrals. Here are the words from the mouths of clients within 10-20 minutes of handling their dogs. "Wow!", "That's amazing!", "Look how fast", "It's a miracle!", "Unbelievable!", "What the ****!", "That make so much sense!", "You changed my life!", "Incredible!". Just to name a few. Whether you want to stop a behavior or teach your dog a better behavior, my over 40 years of teaching people to have a clearer communication and better relationships with their dogs can help you too. With the method I have developed, *You will learn to communicate effectively with your dog. *Your dog will learn to respect you. *You will learn how we send mixed signals. *I will take the confusion out of training. *Your dog will learn to listen and obey quickly. *You will learn how to have fun while training. *Communcating from the Dog's Point of View minimizes confusion. *I will show you how to make training fun and positive. *I can teach you to train at home or I can train your dog and teach you how to maintain te training. Once your dog reconizes you as a worthy leader and communicate on the dogs leavel the places you can go and fun you can have with your dog. Choose from my Private Lessons I offer where we will work together. Or if you would like me to start your dog to respectful obedience choose the Board Train program. Your dog come to live with me for a period of time and I do the training.

Within not just the couple hours but honestly within 30 minutes I saw how much just repetition and discipline corrected Bo’s behavior. Gail did not just take bo and train him she taught me the correct equipment, communication and technique on trianing bo. It was a wonderful session and can’t wait for the next one to improve on my own technique

The training session helped so much! Not only did my doggo learn, my fiancée and I learned so much as well! Since the training, we have been able to not only keep our dog well-trained, we have been able to use the techniques learned on our second puppy we adopted as well. I highly recommend!

Details: 6 - 12 months old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Board and train at a facility • General obedience training • Leash pulling • House training • Barking • Biting • Chewing • Destructive behavior • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

My “Bella” was so out of control, my husband was considering finding her another home… We are an "older" couple (70's) and Bella is a 3 yr old Border Collie/Lab mix that we adopted when she was 3 months old. She has always been a “high-energy” pooch and we have been taking traditional classes since we got her a little less than 3 years ago. She was always great in class, but not so much at home. She barked incessantly and every hair on her back stood up if people, dogs, blowing grass, anything that surprises her comes to her field of vision. After being boarded for 10 days, everything was so much worse. She tried to attack her doggy classmates – she’s taken classes with these same pooches for 2 ½ years! Our previous trainer suggested medication, the vet prescribed Prosaic – and other than sleeping more, and loss of appetite, her behavior did not improve. We were at our wits end. I contacted Gail @ Lifestyle Obedience and when she arrived at our home –the first words out of her mouth were – “You’re going to have a different dog when I leave.” After about 2 hours, we did, indeed, have a transformation I would not have believed possible! Gail didn’t use a shock collar or corporal punishment; she just used common sense - dog centered training. Before Gail left, Bella walked down the stairs beside me without any pulling; we walked to the beach without pulling; she didn’t bark at the other dogs (people, crabs, etc.) on the beach. My husband and I were flabbergasted! I was skeptical about the longevity of her transformation, but the next day, she was just as calm and compliant as she was when Gail left. It’s now been just a week and our Bella walks without pulling, without barking, and she seems so much more calm, and yet not “cowed” or broken-spirited in any way. I would recommend Gail and Lifestyle Obedience whole-heartedly!
