dog talk classes

Testimonial

I have confidence in my recommendation of Dog Talk Training. I frequently refer my clients to Michele for additional training. Her expertise in improving the skills of both dogs and handlers through careful and supportive instruction makes Dog Talk an essential part of the team I try to create for many of my clients. It is this team that plays a critical role in their journey to better manage their dog's behavior, and protect his/her tenure in their home.

Dog Talk Services

Evaluation Appointment

Not sure where to start or what you need? Our 30 minute evaluation appointments are an inexpensive way to get help setting a course of action. You and your dog meet with our behavior consultant to discuss the issues you’d like to resolve; training and other options. If you are not sure how your dog will respond in a class setting or to another dog, this is a good starting point. Price: $40.00. back to top

Gentle Leader Appointment

The Gentle Leader is the single most effective piece of training equipment you will ever acquire. When fitted and used correctly, this head-halter type collar:

  • Virtually eliminates pulling on the leash
  • Gives you much more control in distracting environments and when working with behavior issues
  • Is not painful to your dog
  • Will not damage the trachea as flat and choke collars can
  • Will not “fall off” your dog

Our 30 minute private appointment includes the buckle style Gentle Leader (not sold in pet stores), fitting and conditioning on your dog, and a walking and usage lesson. Price: $49.00. back to top
