Four Paws Dog Training: Customized Programs for a Happy Home

At Four Paws Dog Training, they understand that every dog is unique and requires a customized approach to reach their full potential. Their trainers work closely with you to identify your dog's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style.

Their training programs are tailored to address specific behavioral issues, such as housebreaking, barking, or chewing. With a focus on positive reinforcement techniques, their trainers help your dog develop good habits and reduce unwanted behaviors.

By understanding the underlying causes of your dog's behavior, Four Paws Dog Training's trainers can create a personalized plan to address your dog's needs. This might include training sessions at home, in public, or in a controlled environment.

Their trainers are skilled in using reward-based training methods to encourage good behavior and build a strong bond between you and your dog.

At Four Paws Dog Training, we offer a variety of programs to suit different needs and goals.

Our Basic Obedience Program is designed for puppies and young dogs, and focuses on teaching essential skills like sitting, staying, and walking on a leash.

The program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog, with sessions typically lasting 30-60 minutes.

In our Advanced Training Program, we help owners address specific behavioral issues such as barking, chewing, or jumping.

By using positive reinforcement techniques, we can help dogs overcome these issues and become well-behaved members of the family.

Our Puppy Socialization Program is designed for puppies between 8 and 16 weeks old, and focuses on socialization with people, other dogs, and new environments.

This program is crucial for puppies, as it helps them develop good social skills and reduces the risk of anxiety or fear-based behaviors later in life.

Our Private Training Sessions are ideal for owners who prefer one-on-one attention or have specific training needs that can't be met in a group setting.

These sessions are tailored to the individual dog and owner, and can be scheduled at a time that suits you.

At Naturally 4 Paws, we specialize in dog behavior modification, which involves changing existing pet habits such as training in or modifying chain etiquette, eating, and barking.

With our expertise, you can learn to address issues like leash lunging, leash hostility, dog-on-dog aggressiveness, and pet-to-human aggression.

Housebreaking and potty training are essential aspects of obedience and behavior, and we recommend starting this process when your pup is between 12 weeks and 16 weeks old, when they have adequate control of their bladder and bowel movements.

Obedience classes can be a game-changer for you and your furry friend.

If you're a new puppy owner, you can enroll your pup in obedience classes starting at six months old on Tuesday evenings at 6pm.

Basic obedience classes are also available on Tuesday evenings at 7pm for dogs six months and up.

Intermediate obedience classes take place on Wednesday evenings at 6pm.

Advanced obedience classes are offered on Wednesday evenings at 7pm for those who want to take their training to the next level.

Dog behavior modification is a specialized area of training that focuses on changing existing pet habits. We can help with training in chain etiquette and modifying eating habits.

Chain etiquette is a common issue many dog owners face, and it's not just about breaking the habit of jumping up. At Naturally 4 Paws, we can help you teach your dog to calmly walk by your side on a leash.

Dog resource protecting is another area we specialize in, where we teach your dog to share food, toys, and attention with others. This is especially important if you have multiple pets in the household.

Barking, leash lunging, and leash hostility are also behaviors we can modify, helping your dog become more calm and composed in various situations. We can also work on dog-on-dog aggressiveness and pet-to-human aggression, which are often linked to underlying issues.

By addressing these behaviors, we can help you build a stronger, more loving relationship with your dog.

House breaking is all about consistency and perseverance. It's essential to establish a routine and stick to it.

The ideal time to start house breaking your pup is between 12 weeks and 16 weeks old. At this age, they have better control over their bladder and bowel movements.

Consistency is key when it comes to house breaking. You should take your pup outside to the same spot each time to create a connection between the location and the action.

Positive reinforcement is crucial in house breaking. Reward your pup with treats and praise when they do their business outside.

Remember, house breaking is a process that requires patience and understanding. With time and effort, your pup will learn to go potty outside.
