Code of Ethics
Daphne belongs to several organizations that outline ethical codes of conduct and of training protocols.
First Puppy? First Dog?
The first few days will set the tone for how you plan to live with a new member of the family, be it a new puppy or a newly adopted dog.
Puppy - $270 for 4 hrs
This is a good program for new puppy owners, or owners that have never raised a puppy and for those that wish to use positive training methods. This program will address: jumping, bite inhibition, housetraining, crate training, alone time training, safe socialization, leash training, awareness of potential problems and more! You will be over-loaded with material and information. Well worth the investment.
Dog - $270 for 4 hrs
Dogs in shelters and/or rescues are under some amount of stress. These dogs are in the system for various reasons from a student going back to college, incomplete housetraining, normal dog behaviors or having a degree of behavioral problems. Learn how to set "house rules", tips on training, tips on "dog proofing" your home, and other related topics.
If your dog is already showing behavior problems such as guarding their food, on-leash reactivity, growling/snapping at people or other concerning behaviors, please contact Daphne by phone or email.
