DogSkool - More About Us

We are more than just a training school. There are several activities that involve you and your dog that are fun to participate in. Several times a year we take a select group of students to the local fairs and exhibitions to demonstrate the skills of the dogs and handlers as a team. As well as seminars that deal with more specific areas of dog behavior, communication, and learning. The relationship with your dog is a very special one and through training we deepen that bond with love and respect.

Biting, chewing, digging, jumping, stealing, barking, housebreaking, and general hyperness are all behaviors dogs participate in as normal behavior. Learn to manage these behaviors through positive solutions.

Teaching your dog to respond around jumps and other obstacles is fun for you and you dog.

Understanding the different types of aggression and what triggers aggression can help prevent an out of control situation. Channeling aggression can help calm the dogs' nerves.

Understanding how your dog learns and how best to use this knowledge can improve your dogs performance and eliminate their confusion during your training sessions.

Dogs communicate primarily through body language. We use body gestures to help the dog learn, then fade them away as the voice command takes over.

Tracking is one of the most natural abilities in your dog. Learn how to channel their skills for practical uses.

You can teach the dog to find lost objects or people or search the area for a trespasser or assailant.
