The Benefits of Using Canine Command

Stop being stressed or embarrassed because your dog won’t listen, pay attention, be obedient, has behavior/aggression issues, can’t be trusted around people or other dogs, and/or can’t calm and settle down. For over 23 years Canine Command has been using fear free, state-of-the-art, positive reinforcement training to turn any breed, at any age, into canine good citizens! Contact us today so you too can become a proud owner of a smart, happy, calm dog, never having to worry about how he reacts at home or in public to people, other dogs, or environments! You and your dog will appreciate all the complements you receive from neighbors, coworkers, friends, and the public that meet your pup!

Proven Science-Based Training

My FAST (fun, affordable, simple, and timely) training turns dogs of any age, any breed, with any issue, into canine good citizens! I use Positive Reinforcement, LIMA (Least Intrusive/Minimally Aversive) best practices methodologies taught and endorsed by Animal Behavior College and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. Research has shown compulsive, coercive, shock/prong/ pinch collar training hinders learning and often backfires creating a more aggressive dog! This type of training is strictly prohibited by our Association of Professional Dog Trainers!

Personalized For Your Lifestyle

For nearly 15 years, I’ve been the trusted, veterinarian-recommended dog trainer for Lee and Collier Counties. Unlike costly franchises with rotating trainers, Canine Command provides consistent, affordable, science-based positive reinforcement training. Canine Command offers customized, in-home or on-site sessions, accommodating your schedule with flexible hours, including Saturdays. Training is tailored to your dog’s breed, age, temperament, and needs, with options for single, multiple, or periodic visits.

 

Personalized Just for Your Dog

I evaluate your dog’s unique breed, age, temperament, and personality then show you techniques to enhance owner/dog communication, bonding, respect, and cooperation. I teach owners the language of canines-how to posture using your facial expression, vocal tone, and body movement to communicate effectively with your furry friend(s). Posturing is a powerful tool that cements the bond between you and your dog. Your dog will “get you” and naturally want to follow you and your commands!

Leadership Training

No matter how well-trained, a dog won’t pay attention to an owner if he doesn’t respect his/her leadership. Canine Command Owners learn how to control resources, create structure/rules/discipline and practice leadership rituals so their dog stays calm and focused on them.

We Cover It All

Every facet of dog ownership and training is covered during training including breed analysis, nutrition, calm manners inside and outside, obedience, extinguishing all unwanted behaviors, calm leash walking, learning theory and equipment. Canine Command also cover breeder versus shelter dogs, new pet introductions to your baby/dog as well as socialization at work, parks, malls, restaurants, groomers and veterinarians.

You’ll Learn Why & How

I put an emphasis on educating clients on canine posturing, senses and cognition so you’ll understand why training works, not just the mechanics! All clients receive the Canine Command Bible packed with complete, state-of-the-art Animal Behavior College and Association of Professional Dog Trainers training methods and exercises to reinforce everything taught. Your Bible will be a handy and useful reference tool you can use to train your current canines and all future four-footed acquisitions!
