Training: In-Home
Advantages to In-Home Training
- It's all done in the convenience of your own home.
- For bad behavior that generally occurs at home the trainer can better assess behavior problems and correct them.
- Many times dogs (and people for that matter) act differently at home than in a group class. By observing the interactions of the whole family with the dog at home the trainer can get a clear picture of how to correct problems.
- The dog owners and the dog get undivided attention from the trainer.
Myth: Dogs need to go to a group class to get socialization.
Fact: Your in-home trainer will give you suggestions where to socialize your dog. Part of your weekly homework will be to take your dog to a public place at least three times a week. Further, dogs are so distracted in group class that it's harder to teach basic obedience in a group setting.
