In Howie’s words
When you do not need the full program.
This training is for those situations where you do not need or want a full obedience program. Maybe you did the training yourself but have a weak spot or two. Or you trained elsewhere but did not get all of the results you wanted. For whatever reason, you just want to work on one or two specific behaviors.
The two most common calls I get in this area, by far, are for leash pulling and problems with walking (heeling), and for poor recalls (the come command). But it could be any one, two or few things you want to work on.
Tell me the one or two things. It takes a few minutes.

- Recall and leash pulling
“I called Oni and Armani from different rooms in the house, and they both went straight to their beds.”
Howie completely transformed our home and our dogs' lives! My wife and I adopted both of our dogs, Oni and Armani, from a shelter.

Questions
Before you call.
01Is my problem training or behavior modification?
Jumping, mouthing, chewing, pulling, a bad recall: that is training. Aggression, fear, reactivity, separation anxiety, an older dog that will not housebreak: that is behavior modification. If you are not sure, call or text me and describe what the dog is doing. It takes a few minutes to tell.
02How do I pay?
In full, or half up front and the second half by the third lesson. Cash or check only.
03Is there a discount?
10% off for students, seniors, military and first responders. It applies to everything: puppy, obedience, tracking and scent work, behavior modification and specific behavior training. Just mention it.
04What if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Give me 72 hours and there is no charge to reschedule. Between 72 and 24 hours it is half a lesson. Under 24 hours it is a full lesson. If training stops for a while, restart within 60 days of the last class.
