Profile: I work primarily with rescue dogs. Many new owners do not understand the source of their dog's behavior problems in and out of the home. I encourage fostering, foster-to-adopt, and adopting through established rescue organizations. My goal is to work through basic training procedures and minimize the chance a dog will be returned to a shelter, further traumatized.

My training philosophy is based on ABC's principles, with some clicker training and modeling using rehabilitated dogs. Much of my training is free of charge; a chronic illness makes firm scheduling a challenge.

No Place Like Home

After almost 20 years working in television, I wanted to spend more time with the most important things in my life - my dogs, Gidget & Collin. In doing so, I discovered my true passion in life and started "No Place Like Home", a Professional Pet Sitting business.

I quickly realized I needed to expand my portfolio and enrolled in ABC to become a trainer. Both my dogs were holy terrors when they were puppies and now I know why. After graduating with honors from ABC, I incorporated Dog Training into my business portfolio.

Having a true understanding of dogs has made my life and business so much more fullfilling.

Profile: Mary works with owners on how to build a more positive bond with their dog, which in turn leads to a better behaved companion. By building engagement between the dog and the owner, Mary lays a foundation that allows other learning to take place. This thoughtful approach will do wonders in helping the dog focus on you and make learning the basic commands of sit, stay, leave-it, down,come and loose leash walking a joy for both the owner and the dog. The end result is that a positive learning relationship exists. This is the key link in establishing continued learning between you and your companion. The system Mary uses is primarily reward based training.There is an emphasis on marking the behaviors that you like while re-enforcing the positive relationship that you have with your companion.
Mary's training includes motivational techniques based on the primary drive of each dog using food, play, toys, and praise with the thoughtful appropriate application of aversion.
To get started in building that best friend relationship contact Mary Hirt.

Profile: Arrow Dog & Puppy Training

I'm Lori Barnabe, founder of Arrow Dog and Puppy Training. I started Arrow for dogs and puppies of all backgrounds, but I have a particular interest in special needs shelter dogs. During my years as a County Animal Control Officer and later a Registered Veterinary Technician for a Municipal Animal Shelter, I saw first hand what led former guardians to turn their dogs over to public agencies. I also learned what kind of treatment could turn a dog’s behavior around and get them a second chance at becoming the lovable companions dogs want to be. My goal is to ensure that each dog who attends class at Arrow becomes a cherished and permanent member of their family, and a source of pride for its guardians.

With that goal in mind, before the actual training sessions begin, I develope an individual program for each student; a program that recognizes and considers a dog’s whole environment; physical, emotional, and spiritual. I like to think of this as a “Whole-istic” approach.

To learn more about this approach to good dog behavior, please contact me for a free in-home consultation.

Profile: Andee Rivera, also known as Grandma Dee is a certified ABC Dog Trainer, specializing in puppy training.

The best time to start training your puppy is between 8 weeks and 4 months of age. They are little sponges at this time and learn quickly what is expected of them. If they are left to their own means, they will ofen become impossible to live with; what was cute when they were a pup is no longer cute when they are an adult. A large percentage of these dogs wind up in a shelter, or worse. Be a good puppy parent.

Profile: Profile: Certified by Animal Behavior College, Taj Panganiban at Nor Cal Dog Academy covers the entire city of San Francisco and daily focusing on reliable obedience, exercise, socialization and attention - all the things that dogs love and make them enjoyable.

Unfortunately when a dog is not mentally/physically exercised or socialized they doesn’t act in a manner that is appropriate around humans. Nor Cal Dog Academy makes personal and professional effort to improve life quality for humans through their pets by offering stimulation for the dog, and direction for the human.

Learning obedience can be served through group class or private training for specialized need and/or attention. Above all, puppy class is by far the best class as it sets you off in the right direction – an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure.

Nor Cal Dog Academy uses positive reinforcement to increase good behavior and control dog behaviors such as barking, chewing and jumping around humans. Positive reinforcement is rewarding the dog with something he likes after he does something you like. It is not always with treats but encompasses all rewards such as walks, attention and acting like a dog - jumping, pulling and barking.

Our group walks are an excellent complement to the training your dog may already have or is receiving - or just a productive way to release energy while you're away as the old proven adage says “A tired dog is a GOOD dog”. You'll be glad to know that our groups are always transported and monitored in a safe, fun way without allowing any bad habits to occur or be reinforced.

Feel free to browse through the site for training tips, recommendations and sign up for training and/or exercise so you can get started on improving the quality of you and your pet’s life!

"Helping Man's best friend become family"

Hi my name is Mark Alten I am the owner of Alten Dog Training, I have been involved in some kind of animal training since I was 12 years old. My two brothers and I are master falconers and have enjoyed training and hunting with hawks and falcons for many years. Many falconers use dogs in the field and I was frequently drawn to why some dogs worked well and some didn't. I later found out it all had to do with the quality of training the dog received. This led me to helping everyday people provide their dogs with the proper training so they can become valuable family pack members.Call me anytime with any questions or inquiries.

What better way to build your relationship with your dog than through obedience training? Your dog will learn to understand what you’re asking for, and the behaviors you expect. Since we speak a different language from our dogs, learning how to communicate with them provides a relationship of trust, and the tools you will need to become your dog’s leader.

Providing one-on-one private training, we will work together to reach your goals. I will work in great length with you to assure that you have a clear understanding of teaching your dog each command.

Home is where the dog is

I offer private sessions. The sessions vary from basic obedience to some tricks. Much of my experience is with Service Dog training so I try to incorporate that with the training I offer. A busy puppy is usually a happy puppy. I only use Positive Reinforcement which is using reward to get a dog to respond. I have found that my training has a higher success rate than that of compulsive or negative methods. I come to your home where your dog can be his/her true self.

Profile: I spent 4 of my 5 years at the Connecticut Humane Society working with the Behavior Modification Group of Volunteers helping with those dogs who might not have been the most adoptable. We spent our time working on basic manners, social skills and as they stayed in the system, escalated to more specific behavior modification. I espcially liked working with the shy dogs, those who just didn't trust yet and watch them thrive and become great dogs. I recently worked with a private rescue group of dogs saved from death from Georgia to Connecticut. The puppies were adopted out quickly but the 3 dogs who needed more time for medical or behavior reasons spent weeks with us as a group where they learned commands very quickly and have all gotten adopted into their new homes.

I will likely join Petco or Petsmart as a trainer when the right opportunity becomes available. As a lifetime dog lover that studied to become a veterinarian, I am very concerned with shelter animal issues.

Ideally, I would like to offer "consultation services" to families for selecting THEIR perfect "pack member" based on lifestyle and expectations. Work to find the perfect dog for a family and then continue with them for a few months to get the family through the awkward first few months of owning a new dog. In a small way, I hope to prevent abandonment of dogs.

I also have an opportunity to work with students at the high school three blocks from me to teach basic training and run AE group classes.

Profile: I offer at home consultations. I work using positive reinforcement and use your dog's innate pack behavior to help you better understand why your dog is "misbehaving" and what we can do to fix it. I work with all ages and breeds of dogs from puppies to dogs that have a few years on them. Contrary to popular belief old dogs can learn new tricks so there is no reason to live with your older dogs unwanted behaviors. Just give me a call or email me and we will discuss what needs to be done.

Profile: After earning my dog training certificate from Animal Behavior College, I am looking forward to using the positive reinforcement techniques I have learned. I feel that my patience, devotion and love for animals will help accomplish this goal. The hands-on training I received at the Naperville Humane Society gave me the confidence that will help you and your pet train in a relaxed and fun-loving way. Also becoming a CGC and puppy star evaluator has tremendously helped in getting to know more and more about animal behavior. Training has paid off, I was chosen to be a handler on the set of a movie coming out in 2011, called Shakey . . WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! So I feel there are several opportunities out there for anyone interested in becoming a certified dog trainer

*Where No Dog Is Left Behind*

I've been saving animals ever since I was little. I was one of those kids who would always come home and say "daddy can I keep him?" While most of the time the answer was no the answer you can't save them all always came with the response. Now while this is true, I'm getting a big head start on making a difference. I love animals big and small and would love to help those who need it with training, problem solving, aggression, pet sitting, and much more. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

I love to focus on behavior problems and the proper socialization of puppies so they have a great start in life and can be part of the family. I do a lot of training with rescue dogs and most of the problems I come across are due to the dog's original owner not being educated. So, I love to meet with the families first without the dogs so we can discuss what their goals are and what they want out of their training with me.
