The Dog Mentor offers a positive, fun approach to dog training. Just as people need mentors in their work and personal lives,The Dog Mentor teaches you and your dog positive strategies for dealing with common behavior issues. This involves three key things:

Exercise: Did you know that many behavior problems can be caused by a lack of sufficient exercise? Dogs needs plenty of exercise, more than you might think!However, it's important to structure your exercise sessions to make sure your dog isn't just being  reinforced for getting excited. The Dog Mentor helps you ensure your dog gets structured exercise that includes both physical and mental training.

Basic Manners: Basic manners are the foundation of any dog training program. The Dog Mentor can help teach your dog basic commands like Sit, Down, Stay and the all-important Recall (Come!). Learning these commands will help your dog understand how to behave in challenging situations, and could save your dog's life!

Leash Manners: Does your dog pull you on your walks? Do you come home from your walks exhausted, with aching arms?  The Dog Mentor's Leash Manners sessions teach your dog to walk nicely on a leash, so you can relax and enjoy your walks. When your walks are fun, you'll want to walk more!

Behavior Coaching: We know how frustrating it can be to tell your dog over and over what NOT to do. But did you know that teaching your dog what TO DO instead can help eliminate those unwanted behaviors? The Dog Mentor can help you solve behavior issues like jumping up on people, leash pulling, chewing on furniture and much more.
