Canine Connection LLC aims to enhance the relationship between pet owners and their dogs, particularly focusing on dogs with behavioral issues. Eileen K. Murdock, the Owner/Trainer and AKC Sanctioned Hunt Test Judge, brings 33 years of experience in handling a wide range of behavioral problems, including obedience, fear-based issues, anxiety, aggression, phobias, and hyperactivity.
Based in Erie, Pennsylvania, Canine Connection LLC provides in-depth behavior consultations that document a complete history, observe and assess the dog's behavior, and discuss training goals. The training philosophy centers on positive/reward-based reinforcement, ensuring that no harsh methods are used. Sessions are tailored to meet individual client needs and are billed on an hourly basis.
During the initial consultation and coaching sessions, which average about 3 hours, hands-on training and coaching immediately address the problems encountered with the dogs. The program is personalized, with the trainer explaining training methods and reviewing the necessary steps to accomplish the client's goals. After the session, clients are provided with documented sessions and handouts for reference.
Canine Connection LLC ensures ongoing support, offering email or phone consultations with no additional charge for established clients. The goal is to help owners achieve the desired relationship with their pets and a sense of pride in owning a well-behaved dog. For inquiries about pricing and other details, clients are encouraged to reach out via phone or email or visit the Canine Connection LLC website.
