Dog Training for New Clients

We specialize in challenging dogs, working breeds, and rescues! We can help with…

• Aggression • Obedience • Pulling on Leash (Loose Leash Walking • Greeting visitors calmly • Puppy socialization • Fighting between dogs in the same house • Leash reactivity (barking and lunging on leash) • Resource guarding of food, bones, spaces, people, or toys • Biting dogs and humans • Stress and separation anxiety • Prepping your dog for a new baby • Neurological Issues • Management and Safety • Education on the needs of Working Breed Dogs •


We use a balanced training approach. Balanced training uses positive reinforcement to teach new behaviors and corrective training aids to communicate unwanted behaviors. At Canine Comprehensive, we tailor each training package to the needs of that dog.

New clients begin with an initial assessment so we can get to know your family and the unique needs of your dog(s). During the assessment, you will meet with Tobey, owner and head trainer, to discuss objectives that will help your dog and family live in better harmony.

Clients who sign up for our training with us receive follow-up support – we want to help you reach your goals!


 

Training programs

One-on-one Training Packages

Private, one-on-one sessions to teach you to train your dog. We will teach you a skill and then you will work with your dog daily to progress and be ready for the next skill. These sessions are best utilized if most of the family can attend together and you are willing and able to commit to homework. This is a great option for anyone who’s excited about learning about dog training, has the time to dedicate to the process, those with younger dogs, and dogs who are looking to brush up obedience but don’t require serious behavior modification.

I could not have been happier with the results that Moose and I attained in working with Tobey and her customized training package for us. He was initially very anxious and leash reactive and now he has settled in so well. My friends and family and even my vet (who was so impressed that in our last visit asked for the name and contact of my trainer) comment on how much better he is with his calmer energy.

Seriously, I can’t thank [Canine Comprehensive] enough. The progress Dasha and I have made over the last 6 months has far surpassed what I thought was possible. Dasha has become such a secure, fun-loving, responsive dog. It is so much easier for me to take her places and have fun with her. She is good with everyone, including kids. Her play with other dogs has really calmed down, and while she still gets excited, she’s no longer aggressive to the point that I’m worried she will escalate. We’ve gone camping five times this summer and she has done so well each time. She routinely wins the hearts of strangers and I feel my own bond with her deepening so much. It is so much fun to have her!! I am so grateful for [Tobey’s} help.
