Field notes · Dog training in Angier & Raleigh, NC
How many rules should my dog have?
Few. Teach the short list of things he may not do, then allow him everything else. Most people do it the other way round and end up correcting all day.
In the trainer's words
The most useful is to show them what not to do and then allow everything else.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.
