We Take Training Seriously
(But Have Fun Doing It!)
Whether you want to get started on the right track with training a new puppy or rescue, or are having challenges with an ongoing behavior problem, I am here to help. Does your dog jump on people, pull on leash, or ignore you when called? Don't worry, I see those challenges a lot.
I bring training to your home (mostly virtually for now) and will formulate a plan specifically for you and your situation. I have packages designed specifically for the most common requests of pet owners, as well as custom designed packages for specific needs. The Dog Chapter is the canine focus of Bookends Farm in Sheffield, Vermont. I am certified by the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior as a Certified Training Partner. With certifications that include teaching people, as well as training animals, I aim to be as positive with my human pupils as the canine ones. Training your dog should be a fun time for both of you and one that leaves you with a stronger relationship based on love and trust. |
Northeast Kingdom towns I offer dog training in include Lyndonville, St Johnsbury, Glover, Greensboro, Burke, Cabot, Danville, Craftsbury, and more.
Live further? No problem! With quality virtual training the norm these days, I have worked with people all over the country in the last couple months. |
Positive Reinforcement Results in Happy Dogs and Good Relationships
Positive Reinforcement is more than just being nice. I base training on scientific Learning Theory and will never use pain, fear, or threats to train. No shock collars (or "e collars") used here.
My goal is for relaxed, happy, and attentive dogs, in the home and out. |
