BABY PROOFING
- Training
As Needed.
There are fun things you can do to make your dog
safer around children. As an extension after the
"Basic Program", there are concepts
of management and preconditioning the dog to accept
the novelty of a baby, while also training additional
behaviors that will make your life simpler. It
is best to start before, rather than after the
baby arrives. Nip jealousy in the bud before it
ever becomes a problem!

ASSISTANCE
DOG TRAINING - Training As Needed.
After Basic and Advanced Training, an Owner can
pick from a large set of 500 training goals and
determine what they need their companion to do
for them. (Currently there no "Certifying
Agency" that determines any individual dog's
suitability as an Assistance Dog. The basic premise
the Court will look at is...
1.) Is there a medical illness or disability of
the dog owner, and
2.) Does the dog mitigate that illness.
And this then protects your dog under federal
law to accompany you anywhere you go as long as
the dog is otherwise safe to be in public).

AGGRESSIVE DOG
PROBLEM SOLVING (Fear, Dominance, Territorial)
- Training
As Needed.
Learn "Leadership"

coping skills. Tom will take the extra step to
teach biting, aggressive dogs can be off-leash
and safe with other dogs and people. Learn what
to do and why, to reduce and de-escalate confrontational
situations before they happen. (An "Evaluation"
is usually required before the initial Training.)
