In just two days you can learn dog obedience training with Dialogue®, hands-on! These one-on-one all-inclusive dog training classes also teach how to train a puppy.

Dialogue® is highly effective two-way communication between a dog and her human partner. Dialogue® removes the primary obstacle to good dog behavior—dog anxiety. Dialogue® gives your dog the confidence, security and peace of mind she needs to be able to respond appropriately to you.

I work one-on-one with dogs and their human partners in a two-day training clinic format. I have given my two-day training in situations both formal and informal, and always with heartwarming success. I can personally help you and your dog if you and your dog can spend just two days at a clinic location. All the instruction you and your dog need is accomplished in five sessions within those two days. You can return to your home with an entirely new relationship with your dog. There are no “beginning” classes, no shortcuts! If you had a disease, you wouldn’t want just a partial or “beginning” treatment. You’d want to get fully well! Every dog wants to be as happy, confident and peaceful as she can be.

As you practice with your dog back at your home, I can answer either by phone or e-mail any questions that arise. And you are urged to share the story of your experience with me.

All clinics, regardless of where they are held, offer a choice of the following levels of participation:

FULL PARTICIPANTS are dog/owner partnerships that devote two full days to learning Dialogue®.  I work one-on-one with each student. The dog devotes about 15 to 20 minutes in two sessions to learning from me the components of Dialogue®, all the standard AKC Novice Level obedience exercises (Heel, Sit, Sit-Stay, Down, Down-Stay, Stand and Come), which I call "appropriate behaviors." By the end of the second session virtually every dog will "heel," hold a long "sit-stay" and a long "down-stay," etc (most dogs will do the "heel" and "stays" off-leash). Each dog owner will devote the two days to learning to develop Dialogue® with dogs, all dogs, and coming to understand dog behavior as I see it. I will coach each owner on the details of all the new concepts and the new "body language" the owner must learn to be successful in this new paradigm of Dialogue®. 

The owner will leave the clinic on a clear, straight road to overcoming, through educated practice of the appropriate behaviors, whatever problems his current dog exhibits. The dog each owner brings to the clinic just happens to be the dog he is going to get to learn with.  My goal is to teach every owner how to use Dialogue® Dog Training to enable every dog that ever comes into his life to overcome its "behavior problems."  So it's training for a lifetime.  And Dialogue® has a 100% success rate at solving every kind of behavior problem. 

The people I work with are so pleased to be free of their dogs' problem behavior. But freeing the owner of problems is my #2 purpose in teaching Dialogue® to a dog and owner.  My #1 purpose is to free the dogs from the underlying causes of problem behavior. Dialogue® removes the dogs' uncertainty, anxiety, confusion, fear, and frustration that they've acquired through their life experience, thus allowing them to become happy, confident, and peaceful. Furthermore, Dialogue® enables brand new puppies to go forward with their lives without suffering the mental damage that inevitably comes with having to live by trial and error in a world they cannot understand. A full participant can return home with an entirely new relationship with his dog.

A DOG-ONLY PARTICIPANT is, as implied, only the dog.  She will have two sessions with me, just like the full-participant dog, while the owner watches. Those sessions can be on the same day if needed.  In those two sessions I will initiate Dialogue® with the dog, and she will learn from me (just as the full-participant dog does) the components of Dialogue®, all the standard obedience exercises which I call "appropriate behaviors." By the end of the second session the dog will walk quietly on a leash, "heel," hold a long "sit-stay" and a long "down-stay," etc. (most dogs will do the "heel" and "stays" off-leash).  The exercises, the appropriate behaviors, are the structure for the dog's daily practice with her owner that develops the dog's responsiveness, confidence, competency, and peace of mind and body.  The dog will leave the clinic ready to practice everything with her owner as soon as the owner has sufficiently self-trained himself with my study materials to practice with the dog.  I expect the owner to dedicate himself to this self-training.  It is through this practice of the appropriate behaviors that whatever problems his dog exhibits will be overcome.

An AUDITOR gets to watch everything that goes on and hear everything that is said over the course of the two days.  For those who choose to participate at the dog-only level, auditing is a great way to jump-start the self-training under the guidance of my study materials that may be purchased at the clinic.
