Born to Lead Dog Training can assist you in all of your canine needs. Our clients require a wide selection of services and knowledge about all aspects of dog ownership. To meet these needs, we provide our customers with the following services, all of which are performed privately, in their homes:

Owner Education Course including Basic Dog Psychology and Behavior

This consultation is by far our most popular and beneficial. The information covered in this course is the absolute cornerstone to achieving a positive and well-balanced relationship with your dog. This is a great option for owners that want to learn how to effectively understand and manage their dog without having to lose their patience. This short course consists of a 2-hour private consultation. The topics covered include basic dog psychology and behavior as well as practical training tips and leadership skills. It will teach you how to understand and communicate effectively with your dog and remove the stress of struggling to gain control. This is highly recommended for all dogs and owners of any age.

Remote Learning Consultations

Out of our service area? Out of state? Out of the country? No problem! We offer remote learning consultations via Skype and Facetime. These consults offer the same in-depth discussions regarding your problems and no corners are cut. Some people choose a quick 30-minute discussion to cover issues like potty training and others require a full 2-hour meeting. No matter what your problems or needs are, we can help you! Some people wonder how it’s possible to help if we don’t meet the dog. Just remember, it’s not the dog, it’s you! By making small tweaks to the expectations you have for your dog and learning to provide clarity in communication, you will be amazed at the difference. If it wasn’t a popular option for our out-of-state clients and if it didn’t work, we wouldn’t offer it. Click here to get started.

Breed and Puppy Selection Consulting

Before you bring home a new dog or puppy, be sure it fits your personality and lifestyle. Too many times, owners get hung up on a specific breed or puppy and bring it home without doing the proper research on the breed’s general requirements, background, temperament and energy levels. Let us help you select the right dog for your lifestyle.

Private Dog Training and Behavior Modification

90% of all behavior problems can be solved through these consultations. Whether your dog has mild or severe issues, we can help you turn things around immediately and put you and your dog in a position to control or eliminate the behavior altogether. These are private, one on one, training sessions for pet owners. We tailor these sessions to the specific issues you are having and target them in your dog’s environment.

Basic Obedience Training and Owner Education Course

This course is for basic control of your dog in and around the house. Your dog will do the following: sit on one command, down on one command, come when called, place (extended down-stay on their designated bed), stay (in a sit or down position) until released, heel at your side during walks while sitting automatically when you halt, and no jumping up on furniture. We also teach your dog how to properly greet people without jumping up and how to go through doors and gates under control.

Advanced Obedience Training and Owner Education Course

This course consists of our Basic Obedience Training and Owner Education Course as well as total off-leash control. This course takes a dog with no obedience training and offers complete freedom from the leash and results in absolute voice control over your dog. This is for clients who want that extra measure of control at the beach, hiking, dog parks, swimming, etc. without having to worry about lines and leashes.
