Does YOUR Dog Need Obedience Training?

Does your dog:

Obey your commands only when he sees a treat?
Come when called only when he knows you have food?
Dart out through open doors?
Jump up on guests?
Growl, snap or bite to protect food or bones?
Use your house as a bathroom?
Pull on the leash?
Nip at family members for attention?

If your answer to any of the above questions is “yes” - then your dog needs obedience training!

Our certified in-home dog trainers can train your dog to obey your every command – even under distraction.

Your dog will come when called, obey your commands, walk by your side on the leash without pulling, sit politely when visitors arrive, and will stop all nipping, jumping up and other impolite demands for attention.

Any dog can be trained! Get Started Now!

Is There Hope for Your Aggressive Dog?

Canine Dimensions assists local animal shelters in evaluating dogs prior to adoption. Shelter dogs like the ones in this video who aggressively guard their food, bones or toys will need training and rehabilitation before they can safely be placed into their new homes.

If your dog growls, snaps, bites or displays the type of aggressive behavior shown in this video, this is a serious problem and it will not go away on its own. Resource guarding is a very common form of aggression in dogs. Fortunately, Canine Dimensions has excellent counter-conditioning protocols that can help rehabilitate dogs like these. Because we train your dog in your home, we can design exactly the right program to help with resource guarding and other dog aggression, dog training and dog behavior problems .

Children, Dogs and Safety

Family pets should be safe and reliable around children. Aggressive dog behavior like guarding of food or bones must never be tolerated or excused. It’s important to take the time to teach children how to behave appropriately around puppies and dogs. It’s also important to teach your puppy from an early age to view the approach of a child as a positive thing, not as a threat to his resources.

Sometimes, in a misguided attempt to teach a dog to share, an owner will reach into the puppy’s food bowl and play with the food while the puppy is eating. This does not teach the puppy to share. Instead it teaches him to view the approach of a human as a negative thing. It’s an annoyance - an interruption to the puppy’s meal.

Instead, approach the puppy while he’s eating and add more kibble, and occasionally some yummy treats, to the bowl. This trains the puppy to regard the approach of a human as a positive thing. More tips on preventing resource guarding are covered in our Puppy GoodStart program, done in your home.

If your dog or puppy has already started growling, snapping or biting to guard his food or bones, then do not try the above method. Instead, a different approach must be taken. Those techniques are covered in our aggression intervention program and behavior modification program, done in your home.
