Housetraining

A housetraining consultation in your home will bring improvement within days if not hours.
Contact me to set up a time when we can get together.

Here's a house training tip: To get your pup to reliably eliminate outside, place a container of treats in or near the desired area. Stand quietly near the treats. Then, when he finishes, reward him by reaching to take a treat out of the container and give it to him. This trains him that you will deliver the reward is a consequence of his action at that location.

Most generic house training recommendations are for large dogs; small and toy dogs benefit from modifcations to these standard programs. I understand the unique requirements of house training small dogs living in Los Angeles condos and apartments. Over the years, I have refined standard house training techniques to address their unique needs.

New, updated model of the old box type clicker; much easier to use and hold in your hand - raised push-button insures you always have it correctly positioned in your hand - can be used under your foot so both hands are free.
