Training tip:
West Los Angeles puppy classes teach the foundation behaviors that
all dogs, from Puggles
to Labradors, need to know. Teach your dog to keep calm and quiet at the
coffee shop, to walk calmly along the sidewalk, and to be trained to wait at the corner
curbs. Effective dog training should provide information
and techniques that set dogs and owners up for a lifetime of
learning. Dog training from Culver
City, to Marina Del Rey, to Pacific Palisades, to Santa Monica, to Beverly
Hills, to West Hollywood.
Los Angeles Dog Trainer's tip for "wait at the curb:" At each
curb, come to a stop, and keep your feet perfectly still for a full two minutes.
Soon, your dog will wait for your foot
to move too, because he notices the cue to
move is your foot moving forward. Contact Bill

Rescued dogs
-
Does your dog need house training right
away—yesterday, to be more exact? Does he hold on walks and then
eliminate when you return home, eliminate in his
crate, urinate when you
greet him? Up-to-date techniques and methods
that utilize reinforcement, can quickly remedy these behaviors.
-
Was your dog rescued from the West Los Angeles Animal
Shelter? Training provides boundaries and enables clear communication
with your dog. Putting off training until your new pup gets
“comfortable” or “settles in” is unwise, as the behavior he learns first will be the hardest to
change.
-
Does your dog become anxious when left alone for long periods of time?
Home alone programs address this specific behavior; and help all single
dogs when implemented from the first day home.
-
Do you have energetic young children and
you worry about how safe they are while they’re playing with your dog?
Are you new to dog ownership ─ Not sure what
to do first?
I'll take the time with you to create a unique and individualized
house training program especially for your dog, no matter what breed or how
old your dog is.
Each training program, will always consider your needs and special
circumstances, whatever they might be:
Individualized, customized training programs—the same advice doesn’t always
work for different dogs in different households; “one size does not fit all!”
I think it’s safe to say that you love your dog. Besides being adorable,
he's always there for you, tail wagging, eyes bright, ready to give you
unconditional love. Your dog makes you laugh, smile…put simply, our pets are
an important part of your family, of your life, and they need your love and
attention, always.
Which is why it’s harder to accept those times when they start to frustrate
the life out of you. Moments when they become the hardest to deal
with—pulling on their leashes during dog walks…jumping up, barking at, even
snapping at your guests…chewing and ripping up items in your home…breaking
your heart because they’re not housebroken....
Read a lot books? Fine
tune and key in on the training information relevant to you by authors such as Ian
Dunbar,
Brian Kilcommons,
Karen Pryor, Monks of New Skete and others.
With every Dog Training Program, I share these
valuable insights:
-
2008 is my 23rd year where I've helped improve the
behavior of puppies and dogs in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West
Hollywood, Culver City, and Venice. Major improvements that have led to
happier, healthier and better-behaved pets, and more affectionate and
loving relationships between dogs and their owners.
For over 22 years, I’ve personally worked with more than
3,500 dogs, puppies and their owners as a dog trainer in Los Angeles.
Through unique and customized private dog training, performed in the
convenient and familiar surroundings of your home, you can soon resolve your
dog’s problem behavior and build a more loving and understanding
relationship with your pet. As West Los Angeles veterinarian Steven
Ettinger, says:
"Client after client returns with only
the finest compliments about Bill's abilities as a dog trainer of both the
dog and the family."
I’ll take the time with you to create a unique and individualized in-home
training program especially for your dog, no matter what breed or how old your
dog is.
Each training program, will always consider your needs and special
circumstances, whatever they might be:
- Does your dog become anxious when you’re forced to leave them alone for
long periods of time?
- Do you have energetic young children and you worry about how safe they
are while they’re playing with your dog?
- Are you new to dog ownership and a little overwhelmed by what needs to
be done?
- Does your dog need house training right away—yesterday, to be more
exact?
- Was your dog rescued from the West Los Angeles Animal
Shelter? Give him the boundaries and clear communication he needs, before
minor annoyances become major problems.
With every single “L.A. Dog” Training Program, I will
offer you these valuable Insights:
How to “read” your dog’s body language—I’ll show you exactly what your
dog’s ear, leg and tail movements mean, how to read their breathing patterns
and the best ways to deal with them.
How to see your dog’s behavior in small, understandable increments, so
that you and your dog can communicate clearly.
Individualized, customized training programs—the same advice doesn’t
always work for different dogs in different households. What’s that old
saying, “one size does not fit all!”
