Lori's advice about trusting your dog to someone:
Never, ever let anyone do anything to your dog that you are not
100% comfortable with. If you don't agree with
someone's advice about your dog, QUESTION IT,
even if it's me or my instructors.

At Custom Pets Dog Training
we do not encourage the use of
painful or frightening
training techniques with your dog.

You and your family will work privately with a professional dog trainer to learn how to train your dog and how to deal with minor behavior issues. These programs are dog- and people-friendly, and are designed for dogs who primarily live inside the house.

In the Everyday Manners Program, we will cover basic manners: pay attention, polite greeting behavior, come when called, walk on leash, wait at doorways, and other behaviors that will help make your dog a great household companion. Click here for information on the mid-week special!

Introduction to Canine Musical Freestyle
one 90-minute session - $50

You've seen it on Pet Star, you've read about it in local newspapers and national magazines. What is Canine Musical Freestyle all about?

Freestyle is the newest canine sport, and is rapidly gaining world-wide popularity. It is obedience and tricks set to music, and often called Dancing With Your Dog, but don't let that scare you! Dancing ability is not a requirement for you or your dog. This sport highlights the dog/human partnership - it teaches dogs to respond to cues even in a highly distracting environment, and owners learn advanced training techniques that can be applied to any behavior.
