Field notes · Dog training in Angier & Raleigh, NC
My dog seems scared of a command
Some dogs attach a bad feeling to a word very quickly. With them, one careless or badly timed use can turn the word itself into something he dreads.
In the trainer's words
I'm a little careful, because I'm really scared to poison any command with him, especially because he does seem to build aversive behavior very quickly. It does mean you really can't allow for any sort of sloppiness.Kelton, Head Trainer, Angier K9 Consultants

Recognize your own dog in this?
Most people who call us have already been told their dog is a lost cause, or that they should manage it and hope. We train dogs in Angier, Raleigh and across the Triangle, and we take the serious aggression and reactivity cases that other programs turn down.
How it works: tell us what your dog is actually doing. We tell you honestly whether we can help, including when the answer is no. If we can, you leave with a plan and a start date.
What you get back is a dog whose world gets bigger instead of smaller.
