Dogs are perhaps the most loving companions a human being can invite into their life. Dogs also want desperately to be happy, productive members of the pack. Yet sometimes that means getting a little bit of help to train them out of some unwanted behavioral issues.
If you need a Lake Forest dog trainer to work with you and your pet and teach them how to behave, give us a call today. We work with all dog breeds and all levels of behavior, with different options depending on the needs of your dog.
Your Dog Wants to Fit in with Your Family
It is a dog’s natural instinct to become a part of a “pack.” In this case, your dog’s pack is your family, and their instinct is to feel loved and accepted. We help your dog learn the behaviors that will help adjust them into your family.
Marc and Patrick use a style of training that they helped coin. It is known as the ForceFree Method, and it has quickly become one of the main training choices for other dog trainers across the country.
As the name suggests, our ForceFree method uses no force when training your dog. We do not punish nor rely on treats in order to train your dog. Instead, we focus on the connection between your dog and their human interaction.
But training is not just about your dog. It’s also about training you. We describe and explain how to train your dog with:
- Patience
- Acknowledgement
- Consistency
- Care
Your dog will be able to learn in no time with consistent and careful training. With the help of our expert trainers, Marc Goldberg and Patrick Farrell, you will quickly see the behaviors that you hoped to see from your pet.
Learn to Train Your Dog Yourself With Our Pack Leader Programs
We offer both boarding school programs and one on one private dog training sessions. Although our boarding school programs are quite popular, our “Pack Leader” programs - which are our private training sessions - are the most common choice among dog owners, as it helps train both your dog and you in becoming a healthy, co-existing family. We train on topics like:
- Chewing and Boredom Behaviors
- Tugging and Leash Behaviors
- Jumping and Barking Behaviors
- Housebreaking Problems, Crate Training, and More
Not only will you learn specific, effective strategies for training your dog to be a perfect family member – you will also learn training techniques that you can use to continue teaching your dog over time.
Let Us Handle Training with Our Boarding School Programs
Sometimes, it is easier to let an expert handle the more difficult tasks. Our boarding school dog trainer programs in Lake Forest are geared towards those that want to let us handle the first part of training, and then show you how you can keep progress going in your own home.
Our programs are specifically catered to whatever your dog needs:
- Amazing Dog 7 Day Boarding School
- Dream Dog 14 Day Boarding School
- Celebrity Rehab 21 Day Boarding School
We take your dog for one, two, or three weeks depending on the type of training and give them the love and attention they need to thrive. On the last day, we train you, showing you how to implement our gentle technique that is known to work effectively with all types of dogs.
No Time On Your Hands, Not a Problem
We all have situations in which we are short on time and with our busy schedules, sometimes it’s hard to fit in even 2-3 extra hours in our day. We understand the difficulty for many of our clients to travel to our facilities, so as a service, we offer a 90 minute online training through third party apps such as Skype, FaceTime, and Whatsapp.
