Results & Pawformance Puppy & Dog Training Classes and Lessons

Results - Pawformance Offerings: The dog house is open again on a limited basis for dedicated alumni trainers!

If you have trained your past or present pet(s) with me through Obedience & Manners Level Two and your pet is in need of a refresher or if you are just missing class...join us!

Check back as new seasonal offerings may be added to those noted below.

Veterinarian Referrals: If you are referred directly to me, do call soon after the referral.
In most cases, addressing an issue early can avoid major issues later.
I will follow up with your veterinarian if I have Q's and to share progress made.
Note, I can no longer work with very strong hard to control pets. Nor serious aggression or biting issues.
Reach out before little issues (example - puppy sass nipping) becomes a major problem. Most issues do not go away as a pet ages...

New - Silver Paws Class! Help keep your beloved, geriatric pet engaged, see below!

Past O&M Two Grad Trainer Alum With a New Pet and Veterinarian Referrals:

After doing a Meet & Greet" we can discuss possible training options! Room is limited, a wait list may be established for some offerings.
Feel free to send an email or call for more information. Please be sure to mention your current and/or past pet(s) and last classes and year(s) attended.
Or your veterinarian that is referring you and your pet.
Note! You must be able to physically handle your new pet as I am no longer able to handle medium-large or large, strong dogs that are out of control.
Nor extremely sassy pets. As always, no aggressive pets! (So annoying to be getting older!)
If your pet may be in this category, with regret, please be considerate and get your pet help by another. Thank you.

Sorry - "Silver Sneakers" passes are not accepted - haha!
*Thanks to Lisa & "Ginger" - Golden & Poodle mix - for the class rename!

Retrieve!
For sporting dogs and pets with a natural retrieve instinct.
A nice base for companion hunting dogs that will be flushing and retrieving,
not pointing breeds as I'm not qualified to instruct same.
Electronic, buzz collars are *not* used to force holds and pickups.

Tracking Intro
For pets that enjoy using their nose tracking trails outdoors to find items and people.
An interest list is started for spring! (This class does not require advanced obedience.)

placed under and around props, furniture, walls, etc.

Outdoor offerings may be on hold at times depending on wildlife babes in training areas.

Obedience Floor Time
Semi-structured obedience practice for Results-Pawformance people and pets that have completed basic 'how to do' lesson(s).
