“He is your friend, your partner, his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”

The most important keys to training your dog:

- Time
- Learn Your Dog's Language
- Consistency

No matter what you have been told...

There are no shortcuts to training your dog. Building a long lasting and rewarding relationship consists of learning each other's language, needs, and developing understanding. The best training is done in cooperation with your dog, NOT by forcing your dog.

Every year, between 8 and 10 million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters; approximately 4 to 5 million of the animals are euthanized. Many of the dogs in these shelters are there as a result of correctable behavior issues.

If you are wondering what exactly a professional dog trainer can do for you and your dog, you will want to continue reading. We've provided the following tips.
A professional dog trainer can make the life of living with your dog companion a lot more rewarding. Of course all dogs are pleasant, but their unwanted habits may sometimes be a real challenge to live with. Hiring a professional to train your dog may be the answer to your problems. People hire professional dog trainers every day of the year for the purpose of retraining their dog.
Many dogs have habits that appear as though retraining is hopeless. A professional dog trainer from Helping Paws will help you guide your dog out of habits and behaviors that can be difficult to manage. No matter how bad those habits might be, a professional trainer can make it possible to live with your pet in peace, once again.
When you hire a professional to do the job of training your pet, we highly recommend professional service. Once you have located your professional trainer, be honest with them and let him know all about the expectations you have for your dog. By informing your trainer of the problems up front, he or she can work on each and every one of them, which will make you a happy customer, and your dog a happier pet.
Choosing a professional dog trainer can sometimes be tricky. It is a good idea for any potential trainer to meet your dog first to see how your dog reacts to each trainer. At Helping Paws, we will meet with you and your dog prior to any commitment. You will want to hire a trainer that your dog will be comfortable with. After all, they will be spending a lot of time together.

Collars such as choke (slip) chains and prong (pinch) collars are, at best, effective on a limited basis. At worst, these types of "training collars" are fatally abusive.
Note: that all dogs in training will be transitioned into flat buckle collars.
