Training
Thee Privileged Pet offers positive reinforcement training classes for dogs of all ages.

OUR MISSION? To assist you in building and maintaining a Lifelong, Loving Relationship with your pet through a Positive, Consistent, and Well-Socialized Program. All training methods are strictly positive, using reinforcement and behavior modification through food/reward luring, clicker training, and shaping to build confidence and trust in you as the Leader resulting in pleasing and rewarding behavior for you and your dog. Simply put, we REINFORCE THE POSITIVE AND IGNORE THE NEGATIVE, RELYING on the introduction of desired alternative behaviors to replace less pleasing behavior.

Both Private and Group Courses are available, as well as consultation for specific Behavioral Issues.

Our two programs, Canine Manners and
Puppy Class, are based on the "Nothing in
Life is Free" philosophy. This non-confrontational approach uses positive reinforcement methods to:
  • Reduce, control and prevent
    dominant and/or aggressive
    behaviors in dogs
  • Teach dogs the skills they need
    to become (and remain!) well-mannered members of your family
