AMIABLE DOG TRAINING: INVEST IN SUCCESS

Standard Poodle, Ellie ★★★★★

The great thing about Amy’s suggestions, was that after her visit, I used them and THEY WORKED! It’s a SMALL investment for a HUGE pay off! STEVE

Chihuahuas, Spike and Whisper ★★★★★

Spike and Whisper have been doing great – I have taken them to the pet store – and all around here – we did some walking by some of the neighbor dogs today – and they did GREAT! Thank you – the training is so worth it! Thanks, and do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do for you – or to use us for a reference! Thanks! TRACY

Labrador Retriever, Lily ★★★★★

Yorkshire Terrier, Lola ★★★★★

We were very happy with the training!  The goals we set were more than met! MARIA

Australian Cattle Dog Mix, Maisey ★★★★★

“I’m happy to refer dog owners to you. The money I spent to have Maisey go through your class was the BEST money I’ve spent in the last 5 years; totally changed her life and mine :)!” JACKSON

Hound/Terrier Mix, Mya ★★★★★

I greatly appreciated you addressing individual concerns, such as Mya’s anxiety, in the group class setting. It definitely helped with her socialization. It was also helpful when you clearly explained why certain training techniques are more effective compared to other techniques. Thanks! NICOLE

TAKE THE PUPPY TRAINING BEHAVIOR QUIZ

PUPPYHOOD IS TEMPORARY. Bad habits last a lifetime. The “Puppy Training Behavior Quiz” can help. Can your puppy benefit from Amiable’s House and Obedience Puppy classes or Private Training? Take the “Puppy Training Behavior Quiz” and find out:

  • Is your puppy mastering house training?
    (or is your puppy training you?)
  • Is excessive chewing, mouthing, nipping, or biting okay with you?
  • Do you know how to get your puppy to listen when he isn’t interested in treats?
  • Does your puppy accept being confined or restrained in your absence?
  • Will your puppy ‘leave it’ or ‘drop it’ on command?
  • Is your puppy’s play style appropriate? (or does he get carried away?)
  • Do you know the best way to deal with puppy temper tantrums?

IF YOU ANSWERED “NO” to any of these “Puppy Training Behavior Quiz” questions, or if you just want to learn the easiest, most positive methods for raising the BEST DOG you’ve ever owned, then enrolling in House-Puppy and Obedience Puppy classes is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

TAKE THE DOG BEHAVIOR QUIZ

HOW MUCH would your puppy (or adult dog) benefit from the Essential Basics class?

  • When you walk your dog, does he tend 
    to get overly excited, display aggression, pull, sniff, or cross sides?
  • Does your dog listen selectively (tune you out when distracted or hyper)?
  • Are you concerned about your dog’s safety because his recall is unreliable?
  • Would your neighbors, relatives, or friends welcome your dog if he had better manners?
  • Are you frustrated by certain behaviors?

IF YOU ANSWERED “YES” to any of these questions, then it’s time to start polishing your “diamond in the RUFF.”

MAKE IT A PLEASURE TO WALK YOUR DOG. Check out the next starting dates and enroll in our four-week Essential Basics class. It is the easiest way to turn YOUR dog into the dog of your dreams!
