Dogs live in families.  The training needs in each situation vary according to the family circumstances and the individual makeup of the dog.  At Tsuro we offer a variety of Training Options to help make you successful.

The "Click" stops here!

No gimmicks just results.  If you are serious about getting your dog trained, call us at Tsuro Dog Training.

Our programs are designed to build the kind of relationship owners want to have with their dog.  Both the owner and dog will enjoy each other more as a result of training.

With over 20 years of experience, we have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds.  The methods we use and teach are balanced and reliable, having stood the test of time.  

Any method needs to be viewed in terms of effectiveness and long-term outcome.  Dogs learn from ALL the consequences of their actions.  For example, if the consequence was enjoyable the behaviour will be repeated.  If the consequence was unpleasant or uncomfortable, the behaviour is more likely to stop and not be repeated.   

This is the reality of dog training and cannot be avoided.  Contrary to a very popular dog training myth, ignoring behaviour that is unacceptable will not change it.  

Hundreds of satisfied customers are testimony to the proven effectiveness of our approach.

Quick, Positive and Reliable Results from:

1.      Reasonable expectations with clear, simple directions.

2.      An approach that respects the way dogs naturally learn .

3.      The right kind and amount of daily practice.

4.      The ideal learning environment.

 

IDEAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT:

The best results come from an environment where we control both attention and distraction.  Ideally, all new training exercises are best introduced in an environment where distractions are minimal.  As the dog's performance improves on each exercise, the level of distraction should then be increased to help develop focus and improve concentration.  This is why private (1:1) training is generally more desirable than a class setting.

While some dogs will do fine in a weekly class setting with daily practice between classes, many more will do better when the early work is done in private sessions.  Some dogs do best in a "Board and Train" program where they live with the trainer and are trained daily by him.  The training is then transferred to the owner.

For more on this subject please read this article.

 

DOG TRAINING SERVICES:

Professional Training:  This is the option to choose for the best training results.  The dog lives with us and is worked each day.  Training progresses much more quickly and reliably because the trainer is a professional, experienced in teaching and dealing with dogs for over twenty years.     

Drop-off Training:    (more about this program)

Day Classes:  Sometimes called "Talk 'n Train," day classes allow participants to work their dog in a group like setting along with other dogs and owners.  Day programs are built around my own personal training times and dog activities and offer each owner the unique opportunity to join me as they work on the exercises of their choice.  This is not an entry level training program and owners who want to participate will have already begun their dog's training.  (more about this program)

Private Sessions:  We can customize the training to meet your needs.  Private sessions can cover all areas offered by Tsuro Dog Training in a much more flexible approach - the needs of you and your dog are the focus rather than "the class" and sticking to a predetermined agenda.

Private sessions are the professionally preferred way of dealing with many different behavior problems.

Programs can be much more specific as they are custom tailored, this allows the relationship to be more fully explored as remedies are sought.

Anxiety and stress can be more effectively relieved in both owner and dog in private sessions.

Private sessions offer more flexibility of scheduling.

Compared to group classes, fewer lessons are required because we can concentrate the entire lesson on you and your dog.

Private sessions are the best approach for working with dogs or owners that have special needs.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:  We are limited in the time we have to work with clients and their dogs. This means that we sometimes often have a waiting list.  We will get to each dog and owner as quickly as possible and appreciate the patience of those we serve.

It must be clear to each student that they control the rate of learning and this is based on their work at homeClass cannot provide what is not practiced. While we do (at times) handle the owner's dog, it is understood that it is still better for the client to handle their own dog.  It is important to us that our clients succeed, however we cannot be responsible for the degree of success which is based on work done at home. We do not believe it is in anyone's best interest (dog or owner) for us to work harder with the dog than his/her owner does. We will do everything in our power to encourage the owner to work out their difficulties and practice.

Why are we doing this?

Our enjoyment comes from seeing others learn to enjoy their dogs in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. To develop such a relationship that lasts a lifetime is the ultimate reward for any dog owner.

HAPPY DOGS AND OWNERS - IT’S IN EVERYONE’S BEST INTEREST!
