BEHAVORIAL TRAINING for FAMILY DOGS
We're just a phone call away!
Pet parenting can be a daunting task! That’s why our positive, reward-based private dog training is designed for PET dog owners that are looking for real-life, well-mannered companions that are a joy to be around! We provide professional, knowledgeable dog training, problem solving and behavior modification throughout the 
Pasadena area, including Glendale, La Canada and La Cresenta.
Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, and Come - every dog knows HOW to do these things; but very few have a solid reason to WANT to do them. Our private dog training is geared toward teaching you to make practical application of everything you’ll learn in order to manage your pet's behavior in real, every day situations so that your pup responds willingly to your requests. And we do it right there, in your home and your neighborhood to give you immediate results!
We'll teach you the most humane and effective dog training methods with which to train your pup based on the latest understanding of canine behavior.
WILLINGLY OBEDIENT? IT’S ALL ABOUT MOTIVATION!
Our initial goal is to help you and your dog establish the correct relationship in order to improve the overall quality - and enjoyment! - of everyday life. Once in place, this relationship motivates your dog to turn to you for guidance in every situation. It builds up his or her confidence, resulting in a stable, secure dog that understands and enjoys its special place within your family. Our Training Philosophy
Our secondary goal of willing obedience is easily achieved through the first: we continue building on this new relationship by teaching some key words, then associating these words with desirable behaviors.
Behaviors that allow you to reward your dog. Behaviors that instill manners and self-confidence inside your home and out in the real world. Good behaviors that eliminate bad behaviors such as nipping, chewing, digging, barking, house soiling, jumping up on people and furniture, pulling on the leash, and door crashing, to name just a few.
WE TEACH THE CUES THE WAY YOUR DOG LIVES – OFF LEASH!
By starting with real-life, around-the-house off leash obedience training, each of our packages allows you to progress quickly through both basic AND advanced dog obedience training for one pre-set price. Please see our Training Programs for more of the details because everything we do is fully customized to meet your needs, not ours!

"DOG WHISPERER TRAINING APPROACH MORE HARMFULL THAN HELPFUL" Denver (September 6, 2006) "...Several instances of cruel and dangerous treatment - promoted by Millan as acceptable training methods - were documented by American Humane, including one in which a dog was partially asphyxiated in an episode. In this instance, the fractious dog was pinned to the ground by its neck after being "hung" by a collar incrementally tightened by Millan. Millan's goal - of subduing a fractious animal - was accomplished by partially cutting off the blood supply to its brain." Read more...
