ADOLESCENT & ADULT DOGS
As the parent of an adolescent or adult dog, you may now be asking yourself:
"what happened to my sweet puppy?",
"why can't my dog just listen?!",
or, "what's the best way to settle in my new rescue?"
Proud Paws will create a perfectly customized training package for you and your dog that will address your specific needs and goals and set you up with piece of mind that you will be fully supported as you begin your new learning journey together.
BASIC OBEDIENCE
No matter the age or breed, it's never too too late to implement good routines into daily life with your dog. Teaching them how to be proficient with instructions relevant to your lifestyle not only serves to instill healthy manners and boundaries, but also confidence and security for you and your family.
FEAR & INSECURITY
Whether your dog is mildly shy, or is exhibiting significantly fearful behaviors, identifying what steps to take to help them overcome such fears can be upsetting and overwhelming. Proud Paws takes a great deal of care and sensitivity in working with the fearful dog, assisting parents in developing techniques for your loved one feel more confident in the world around them.
TAMING THE TEENAGER
Adolescence can bring with it an unexpected set of challenges where the fun-loving puppy has now become a rowdy, unfocused and non-compliant mischief-maker! Learn how to creatively change your training tactics and maintain structure in order to keep the relationship with your dog in tact.
LITTLE PEOPLE & DOGS
Managing both children and dogs in a busy household can be a difficult situation to juggle. Proud Paws assists parents in becoming more aware of their dog's stress signals, in empowering children to take part in easy daily pet care responsibilities and provides guidance in compassionate relationship building.
LEASH REACTIVITY
Dogs that bark, lunge or growl at other dogs on leash or even at people and objects can be worrisome, frustrating and embarrassing. Delve into deciphering where these behaviors are coming from and how to remedy them so that you can achieve a manageable and enjoyable walking experience.
OTHER COMMON BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES
When our dogs misbehave it can be confusing, frustrating and result in an endless cycle of ineffective communication. Work through those communication issues and develop effective protocols to behavioral issues as well as remedies to mending that all important relationship with your best pal!
