Two training sessions with your dog using positive reinforcement methods to teach basic manners and/or tricks and address behavior issues.

Typically, the first training session is about 2 hours and is quite comprehensive, covering topics including: (1) information about the dog (history, breed, age, medical status/conditions, if any), behaviors, and more) and about the family that owns the dog (# adults & children, goals for the training); (2) an explanation of the positive reinforcement training methods and how important it is to involve all family members who want to participate); (3) training. The second visit would be about an hour as a follow-up to see how things are going, answer questions about the training methods, and discuss any issues that have come up since the first session.

Anne is a dog trainer at the New England Dog Training Club (NEDTC.org) in Cambridge. At NEDTC, the trainers believe that positive, basic obedience training builds a relationship with your dog that allows clear communication and trust.  Each of our classes works toward the goal of establishing and building that relationship in a fun and rewarding way.

In additionl to her work at NEDTC, Anne's experience and credentials are extensive!
