One Paw Forward

One Paw Forward's service package consists of us going to your home (or place of choice) for basic obedience training for both owner and dog. The course consists of one free consultation in which we sit to discuss goals wanted for your puppy/dog. We discuss family routines and structures in order to build a plan that will assist in developing the best results for the whole family.  We also advise the proper tools and attitude needed to succeed. After the initial consultation, 6 one hour classes will be held 1 time a week. After each class, a review is held and homework is provided in order to keep reinforcing commands until the next class. The more you practice the better prepared you will be for the following class. During the course, we are also available for questions and troubleshooting at any time. We, at One Paw Forward want to make sure you feel you have a friend as well as a coach to help you keep taking steps forward to helping your dog. We will teach you how to train your dog to be a polite dog. You will be taught to reinforce sit, stay, release, recall, and wait commands. Also proper housebreaking, loose leash walking, leash reactivity, excessive nipping, biting, and chewing deterrence will be incorporated. As well as aggression correction. Your puppy/dog will also be encouraged to eliminate jumping and barking at inopportune moments. After training is over we also like to follow up with our clients and hear about the progress your puppy/dog has made and offer continued support(if needed). (Cost of package: $825.00)

We also offer "board and training". We offer a home setting which is less intimidating and distracting than a large facility. There are 5-6 puppies or dogs every 24 days of training. This allows for the training to be more focused and provide each puppy/dog the proper attention that it deserves. They learn to socialize properly and become a part of a pack. They learn from each other as training is provided daily on a one on one basis and as a group. Research shows that it takes roughly 24-26 days to break bad habits and form new acceptable habits. Your pet and the transition into your home will be made complete upon returning him/her by having 3 one hour classes with the owners 1 time a week. Upon returning your puppy or dog we will review and show you the commands and techniques necessary to help your pet continue to grow appropriately. In the case of housebreaking your puppy it is important to understand that they are similar to newborn babies, waking in the middle of the night to eat or go to the restroom. During the "board and training" process, the puppy's owners are getting a full night's sleep, while the trainer is dealing with the "middle of the night urges" a puppy has. You don't have to wake up at 2 in the morning to take your puppy out because by the time your puppy returns to your home, this habit has already been broken. Board and training includes constant monitoring daily and over night, daily extended walks to encourage exercise, outdoor play, as well as housebreaking, indoor training as well as outdoor training, proper socialization, grooming, and of course feeding. We also address behavioral concerns such as aggression, separation anxiety and leash reactivity.

• 24-26 days of Board and Training

• 1 follow up a month for the following 6 months or as needed
