Dogs are social animals that thrive when surrounded by love & affection. However, unless given proper guidance & taught good canine manners, they often have a difficult time learning how to fit in with their family & community.  We understand that no two dogs, or owners, are exactly the same. While one training approach might work great for one dog, that same technique can fail miserably with another. Because of these differences, we offer a variety of training services including group classes, private lessons, in-home sessions & Board & Train programs designed to work with your schedule & requirements.
 
Dog training is all about forming a healthy & solid relationship with your dog.  Whether its a new addition to the family in need of manners, an existing member with a specific issue, or an old friend who requires special attention, we'll teach you proven & effective training techniques & behavior modification solutions that will last a lifetime.

With over 50 years of successful combined experience, our knowledgeable trainers provide owners/handlers with the skills and resources they need to achieve their goals.
Consummate Canine teaches both classical & operant conditioning methods based upon the LIMA  ( Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive ) guidelines for training & behavior modification using fun & effective techniques to build trust & understanding between dog & handler.  This trusting relationship allows the dog to feel confident in himself & the fact that he can rely on his handler to provide guidance in any situation.  This bond & sense of assurance & safety decreases the dog's chances of becoming stressed, frustrated, aggressive or difficult to control.  We always begin with a positive reinforcement approach, & appropriately teach all four quadrants of operant conditioning, as needed.  Consistency & timing are critical.  Clear, concrete, & reliable communication in conjunction with confidence building, play, & praise for good behavior is the most compassionate, humane & ethical foundation for training.
Consummate Canine is dedicated to working with canine owners & handlers to identify & understand the causes of canine behavior so we can teach you truly effective long-term solutions that will have a positive impact on the pet-owner relationship & create a life long bond based on compassion, trust & understanding.
