đž A Word from Mike: Why This Page (and the Fine Print & FAQ) Matter
Watch the video to find out Why Do We Have to Do It This Way?
First and foremost, we have a system, and we stick to it.
Yes, youâll hand-feed your dog.
Yes, weâll start inside the house, then move to the backyard, and eventually to the front yard and driveway.
We begin in the least distracting environment and gradually increase the challenge as your dog shows theyâre ready.
So, does that mean:
- You might not work on your biggest concern in the first session?
- The process might take some time?
- Youâll be the one doing the actual training?
YES, to all of the above.
For over 15 years now, K.I.S.S. Dog Training has found this method works best for dogs and is the easiest for clients to follow. We space sessions two weeks apart to give you time to practice because you are the one doing the work.
This approach might not be what youâre looking forâand thatâs okay. Or it might be exactly what you need.
Our priority is always the dogâs well-being. However, you must decide if weâre the right fit.
What to Expect
We know it can be frustrating when your biggest concern isnât addressed right away:
- A dog that jumps
- A dog that pulls on the leash
- A dog that doesnât listen
- A dog thatâs âout of controlâ
- A dog that doesnât like men, kids, guests, or other dogs
These behaviors may be driving you nuts, but theyâre not the starting point for successful training.
We begin by teaching attention between you and your dog, and to the environment around you.
We start with resource control (hand-feeding) inside your home or in a group setting.
We only proceed when your dog is ready, and that depends on the work you do between sessions.
Let’s Get Started!
We typically meet 3â5 times, with at least two weeks between each session for practice and coaching.
Every behavior is different, but a month of consistent practice is usually the minimum.
We take it one step at a time, starting simple and building up to more complex challenges.
Letâs face it: we want you and your dog to enjoy the process. Otherwise, whatâs the point? đ
One Last Thing…
Dog trainers arenât magicians, Jedi Masters, or âwhisperers.â
Weâre teachers, and we teach you how to train your dog.
Your success depends on:
- Your effort
- Your consistency
- Your willingness to practice what we teach
