Our focus is not just to train your dog, but to educate YOU on how to be your dog’s trainer.
These 4 fun, semi-private sessions, will not just teach you how to train your dog to listen to obedience commands reliably using The M.E.L.L.O. METHOD®, but we will also be educating you how to better understand your dog and how to use the obedience commands you are working on with your dog in your everyday life to achieve behavior change in your dog.
This program is great for pups, a recent dog-addition to your family, or just wanting to get a better relationship with your dog.
*E-collar training is NOT included in the DIY package. If you would like to further your communication skills with an e-collar, you will have to purchase our All-In promgram.
What's Included:
- Access to online course material to reference before class, and after you graduate.
- Each purchase includes either a Herm Sprenger collar or sidekick leash, a place cot, and a treat pouch.
