How it works
Learn how to use language that your dog understands
Our Ethology Institute certified trainer uses an ethological approach and a deep understanding of canine behavior to train not only your dog but also to teach you how to work with your dog.
Start with a Personalized Consultation
We understand that every dog is unique, and every owner has different goals. That’s why our training process always begins with a comprehensive consultation.
Based on the consultation, we’ll recommend the best path forward, whether it’s one of our training packages or a series of individual sessions tailored to your specific needs.
Puppy Essentials
“The first six months of your puppy’s life dictate its future,” says Professor Roger Abrantes, founder of the Ethology Institute. “Fear, phobias, bad habits—as well as desirable behavior—are created mostly during that period.” Take the steps to avoid the common pitfalls and find out what is essential for your puppy to learn to be set up for a peaceful and problem-free daily life.
Basic Manners
Basic Manners focuses on teaching your dog fundamental skills, including the specific obedience skills you want them to learn. We’ll start with our unique lead manners training, helping your dog learn to walk politely and respond to your guidance. Then, we’ll introduce a powerful skill that gives you a clear and consistent way to communicate with your dog in ANY situation.
Behavior Modification
The Behavior Modification program is designed to alter unwanted or undesirable behavior exhibited by your dog. This requires time and patience as the causes of behavior problems are multifaceted. We work with you and your dog to identify the causes and develop a training plan. We’ll give you the knowledge and support you need to continue training and maintain your dog’s progress.
Choosing Your Canine Companion
Adding a dog to your family is a decision that should not be taken lightly! Our unique “Choosing Your Canine Companion” consultation will provide you with the expert guidance that you need to make an educated and informed choice. We’ll discuss your lifestyle and take into consideration many additional factors to help you select the dog breed or individual that’s the best fit for your home.
