Puppies aren’t born into this world knowing our rules. What we consider “bad” is usually perfectly normal behavior for an untrained dog. They jump on us, piddle on the rug, lunge on the leash, chew our shoes and then play keep-away with them. When we call them, they only come if they’re in the mood. Puppies and young dogs often like to use our hands and feet as chew toys. It’s a good thing they’re so adorable, or else we wouldn’t put up with them! The good news is that dogs love to learn, and they love structure in their lives. At DOG WILLING, we will show you how to change your unruly little critter into a wonderful, well-behaved, happy member of the family.

DOG WILLING TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Imagine if you were taken out of your home and dumped into an environment where you didn’t know the language or the customs. No matter how hard you try, you can only learn certain words of your guardians’ language and are unable to speak it back to them. Some of what you say in your own language they understand, but they misunderstand a lot more of it. They get angry at you for many things that you do, but you don’t know what they want you to do instead. Frustrating and scary, isn’t it? That’s what joining your family is like for your new puppy or adopted dog.
DOG WILLING’s emphasis is on teaching you and your dog the skills that will allow you to better communicate with each other. Our focus is your relationship with your dog, how to improve it, and therefore how to motivate your dog to be WILLING and eager to perform the behaviors that you cue.
We do not use punishment. At DOG WILLING, the leash is a device that prevents the dog from running off, not a training tool. We use food/toy/praise rewards, not corrections. Instead of concentrating on telling the dog what NOT to do, we focus on teaching the alternative appropriate behaviors that you want him to do.
We also help you provide your dog’s life with the socialization, structure and leadership that he needs to feel secure, confident, and relaxed in all social situations. Our goal is to help YOUR dog become the best family pet ever!

CLASSES OFFERED
Puppy Kindergarten: Puppies aged 8-22 wks. We address common puppy issues, such as potty training and nipping, along with teaching basic behavior skills. Since this is the age when a dog is developing his “world view” (is it scary or fun?), socialization is highly emphasized.
Adolescent/Adult Grammar School: Dogs over 5-1/2 months old. The same basic skills are taught as in Puppy Kindergarten, but the emphasis is on behavior changes in adolescence and adult dog issues.
Beyond Basics High School: Dogs who have already learned the basic behaviors. The goal of this class is to strengthen these behaviors so that the dog will be more likely to respond under any and all circumstances.
All 6 week classes are $95.
Levels Classes (Basics and Beyond): Work a swing shift? Out of town often? This may be the perfect class for you. Attend when you can, go at your own pace, even choose what you want to work on. Priced by class packages: 12 for $168, 8 for $128, 4 for $72, and per class for $20. (Start date TBD)
Workshops: Includes Come When Called, Walking on Leash, and Speaking Dog (how to read dog body language). Workshops vary from one hour ($20) to 4-week Mini-Courses ($72). Free one-hour workshops available include New Puppy/Dog Basics and Potty Training Basics.
Private Lessons: One hour to address individual behavior problems. $50 at Paw Park Place. In-home visits start at $60 and are priced according to distance.
