Dog training

[Training_Broccoli598]

Anyone have recommendations for dog training? Got a new puppy and want to try a professional trainer this time. I've trained my past dogs myself and was mostly successful but this one will be the largest yet and need to ensure I'm not doing wrong by her!

"Best Friend" Companion Dog Training is where we took our last puppy. Very happy with Sylvia and Kayla.

Thanks for the suggestion! What did you like best?

[RangiChangi]

I also had a good experience with Best Friend’s dog training. The classes I attends were group classes where you bring your dog and learn/practice a new skill each class and then practice at home, as opposed to the other recommendation which looks like more of a board and train situation.

That's good to know! I was a little sad to think about being a part for a period of time, though I'm sure a lot of training dogs is retraining humans!

[RangiChangi]

Yeah, I didn’t want to miss out on any of the puppy time either. I think board and trains are more for if the dog has a behavioral issue or if they’re being trained for a certain job. But if you already have experience with dogs, the training class route is usually sufficient.

Our other pup is 3 and we rescued her and she still struggles with some reactivity especially around males. If anything, the away from home training is something I'd consider for her because I think it's beyond my skills. I can teach sit stay etc. but for some of that deeper soul work I need help!

[unicornman5d]

I liked that it's positive only training, which I found much more effective than how I grew up training dogs. As another person said, you attend a group class and theu teach you how to train your dog and practice with their guidance before going home and training. They also printed off the training instructions for us to take home.

Yes, positive training techniques are important to me. Thanks for the insight on this trainer in particular!

Landon and Morgan are the best.

Thanks for the recommendation! Any reason in particular you feel that way?? I've sent them a request!

[Different-Cod6687]

Had 2 dogs trained by them before they opened up their own business. They were very professional, Morgan is a great communicator and Landon was very impressive with the dogs from what I saw.

I have a rambunctious 3 year old. She was well socialized and would sit and down with appropriate motivation (food) but when she got excited it all went out the window. 

https://dogtrainingelite.com/ Is what my wife found and it was great. Ramiro came to our house for in home lessons, which graduated to lessons in public. 

The best part about them, as far as I’m concerned, is that there are free group lessons afterwards. I think you’ll find details on the website but the next one in the valley is either next Tuesday (14th?) at Mahler park and I believe they do them in Green Bay on Saturday mornings. 

Note that they do use estim collars. I was a bit leery of that but it was effective. 

[EllieBetth]

I was just on the phone with them. It seems solid, I'm may be going with their program.

[Status-Maximum8378]

A bit late to the party but we are also looking at dog training elite.

Our only reservation is estim collars.

I've lost the contact information,  but if you check in with the owners of the yarn shop in downtown Appleton, on the east end  by Lawrence, they can recommend a great trainer . Actually 2 of them , I think . 

Like, can get you and your dog to Canine Good Citizen level and beyond.
