The PPS approach is a very natural one. We communicate with dogs in their own language- limited treats or leash. They respond well to calm, confident leadership and
we use our body language & facial expressions to get them to understand & obey. We teach you how to do the same.
Your goal should be for your dog to "follow" you, literally. To accomplish this, you need to lead. By walking your dog at the start of EVERY DAY in follower mode, you tell him every day he is to follow you. This sets the tone for the day, reminding him you are in charge & he needs to tune into you. Once you learn how to properly walk your dog, your dog will be more focused on you. He will be more "mindful" of you, constantly checking in to make sure his leader approves of his behavior. By doing this alone, you will find his bond with you & focus on you much stronger. You will be far more effective in ridding him of unwanted behavior. Yes, it is that easy.
Once your dog is in this "follower" state of mind, you can work on any social issue too. Unlimited socialization is included with your training. NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOUR DOG IS OR HOW AGGRESSIVE, he wants to become stable again- AND HE CAN with the proper guidance.

training, bridge & target training
& how to convey the training to
different client personalities.

PPS is the
place your dog wants you to go to for all of his dog care needs! We do a
training & socialization program that offers the best of both
worlds - the one-on-one time of private classes with the socialization of
*well-behaved* dogs. We also have
dog walkers & pet sitters for when you are at work or traveling. And dogs
that are trained with us, are welcome to board with one of our
families.The sooner you start training, the sooner you will learn to communicate with your puppy in his own language, which reduces confusion & stress for both you AND your puppy!
