What To Expect With In Home Training

In home training is great for those that just can not commit to 6 or 8 weeks of classes.
The benefits of in home training is that you have one-on-one attention, the sessions are scheduled at a time that is good for you, and the big factor is you can start out with low keyed distractions so your dog can learn what it is you are wanting them to do a lot easier since they are able to stay focused on you. Could you learn a new language with a lot of activity going on around you, loud music or such? That is what classes are like for them. Granted classes are a great way to socialize a dog and they need that as an on going thing all of their lives not just for 6 to 8 weeks. I like to start in the home with low distractions, get them to understand everything then build up to lots of distractions. It is so much easier on them, setting them up for success is a win win situation.
All of the unwanted behaviors can be corrected where it happens and they learn what is expected from them in that setting. They will learn the sit/stay, down/stay much easier. Walking nicely on a leash is a lot easier to catch on to if there are less distractions from the start. Build the "Come When Called" by starting close and low keyed, until they able to come to you from a good distance away the first time every time. Not to mention the jumping at the door when guests arrive. Everything that is taught in a class will be learned easier with less stress for everyone. It may cost more but it is well worth it.
