Training Paws in-home dog training service is catching on in MD! Offering a convenient, in-home dog training service for dog owners who don’t have the time to take their dogs to obedience classes - located in Severn, MD . Work with dogs and their owners in teaching obedience training techniques, doggie manners, as well as resolving problem behaviors. The idea came about after having many conversations with dog owners whose dogs had simple behavior problems; unable to resolve the problems themselves, many believe their only alternative is to surrender their dog the shelter. Understanding busy work and family schedules, attending dog obedience training classes is usually the biggest challenge for many owners. The great thing about this mobile in-home dog training service is it is accommodate families and their schedules, in the comfort of their own home, while working on modifying their dog’s behavior.
The biggest disservice anyone can do to their dog is to not take them to an experienced dog trainer for obedience learning. The average dog owner, even though loves their dog and have the best intentions, is not qualified to understand dog behavior, neither are they equipped to provide the necessary training to achieve the desired results.
Sadly, the number one reason dogs are surrendered to shelters is common behavior problems – the same problems which can be resolved quickly with the help of an experienced dog trainer.
Janet Oquendo, owner of this In home dog training service, currently owns 4 rescue dogs and has trained under some of the area’s leading dog trainers. Aware of the limited number of positive reinforcement dog trainers available in the area, and the subsequent use of services offered by trainers who use highly aversive training methods which often do more harm than good. Passionate about working one on one with families and their pets to help them understand animal behavior, and modifying undesirable behavior through positive reinforcement training techniques is key to making this service a success. Clients are often unable to house break their dog, or their dog may demonstrate destructive behavior, or they simply cannot get their dog to stop jumping on people, Training Paws uses simple and effective positive reinforcement methods i.e. lure and reward! Why positive reinforcement well its this simple - it works!”
