House Calls
Renowned trainer Bill Matney has a patented method for training any breed dog, from puppy to adult, in simple, easy to understand steps. Now that method can be taught right in your home by our trainers with Talk Dog Training & Coaching™ House Calls!
Our in-home training service is convenient and highly effective. By conducting training in the home, we can quickly identify problem behaviors and teach you to correct them.
We encourage clients to create a list of all their dogs' problem areas before we arrive. It's also a great idea to have all family members present for the session so that your dog becomes accustomed to responding to everyone.
On the day of training, we do our best to reproduce each behavior so that it can be corrected. We teach you how to handle each situation from a position of dominance, quickly correcting misbehaviors and responding in a humane way your dog will understand.
We're so confident in our technique, that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will return for a follow-up visit at no charge if needed. In practice, few of our clients take us up on our offer for a second visit. Why? Because we teach you all the techniques to correct behaviors yourself.
Don't believe it? Don't take our word for it, read what our clients have to say.
In one session you'll learn:
- Housebreaking techniques
- Lead training
- How to stop anxious barking, jumping and chewing
- How to stop aggression toward people or other dogs
- How to manage your dog's separation anxiety
- How to solve any other behavior problems your dog exhibits
We will teach you how to communicate with your dog in language your dog understands. Our humane and effective techniques reveal:
- What your dog wants most in life
- Why what you do is much more important than what you say
- How to establish dominance
- Your dog's four spheres of comprehension
- Instinctive dog behavioral concepts like "pack behavior" and "den mentality"
- Why the human emotions you assign to your dog's misbehaviors are likely way off base
Results after just a few hours are often dramatic. Many dog owners report that their dogs sleep for hours after the session, finally secure that they aren't needed to protect their pack.
For 2-3 weeks following the session, you'll have some homework that we call "boot camp." You'll work with your dog less than half an hour each day. You'll walk your dog on a lead (without being tugged down the sidewalk) and follow some basic guidelines that give structure to your dog's routine and further establish dominance.
Following boot camp, or any time after the initial session, we're available to answer your questions or return for a follow-up visit.
