Blue Dog Training & Behavior LLC offers in-home training and behavior consultations provided by a certified professional. The services include new puppy, new dog, and new baby consultations, board & train, as well as educational seminars.
The company serves Dane County for in-home consultations and training, while clients from out of the area are seen at the office in Madison, WI on Sundays to accommodate travel time. Phone consultations are also available for out-of-town clients when appropriate.
Behavior Consultations:
With a strong educational background in psychology and canine behavior, along with over a decade of hands-on experience in shelter and private consultation settings, Sarah Kalnajs, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, offers expertise to effectively treat serious behavior problems in dogs. Behavioral consultations involve a thorough history taking, diagnosis of the behavior problem, and a comprehensive explanation of the training, management, and behavior modification necessary to address each pet’s particular issues. Behaviors addressed include aggression (toward people and other animals), fear/phobias, separation anxiety, leash reactivity, attention-seeking behaviors, housetraining, barking, chewing/destruction/digging.
In-Home Dog Training:
For those unable to attend classes due to scheduling conflicts, or seeking a personalized approach to dog training, Blue Dog Training & Behavior LLC offers in-home training sessions. This fully customizable program enables clients to work one-on-one with a Certified Professional Dog Trainer in their own home, focusing on refining existing skills or teaching new ones. The training methods are firmly based in psychology and learning theory, fostering clear communication between owners and their dogs. In-home private training is available for both puppies and adult dogs.
Blue Dog Training Sessions work on skills such as basic obedience (sit, down, stay, etc.), leash manners, greeting/door manners, reliable recalls (coming when called), foundation behaviors (attention, wait, targeting, location stays), as well as tricks and games. Outdoor private training sessions are also available from May to November. For further details, please visit the website at www.bluedogtraining.com.
