dog trainers in sacramento california, Dog Obedience Training in Sacramento

Dog training is not easy. If it was, you'd definitely see more trained dogs everywhere!

And breaking your dog's bad habits and solving its behavioral issues, is even harder. Some clients tell us or put off the training by saying, their husband or the boyfriend said that he would do it. Some say that they would like to see if they can train the dog on their own first. Well, just like asking for direction, men hate to admit that they just can't train a silly dog. You gotta love em. At least they offered to help. But just for laughs sake-.

Here’s a Challenge For You!! See If You or Your Man, Can Get Your Dog to:

Need we say more? That's what we thought. And to get results without any yelling, hitting or slamming your dog in its back, is even more impressive to everyone. We've noticed that Potty Training Your Dog, Solving it Aggression, Breaking the Daily Bad Habits, to Getting Your Dog to Listen to You Just as Well on or Off-leash, Will be the Hardest of them all.

But, if your husband/wife can do it, or can make the time to do it, then all the luck to you. One thing is for sure. Just like we can't do your job as well as you do. It is unlikely for you to do ours. After all, we train dogs for a living and are one of the tops in our fields and you aren't.

Sometime you might be able to, but let's face it. It is nice for someone else to do all the hard work for you. It's like joining a gym. You can do it at home and build your own little gym.( just make sure it doesn't become a clothes hanger or a resting place for your kitty) But having the expertise, the trainer to guide you step-by-step of the way, and the fact that you've enrolled with them, helps and motivates you much better. It's the same concept when you enroll your dog in our program.

Our head instructor, Kevin, has successfully trained over 8,000 dogs. That’s right. Over 8,000! Ask yourself how many dogs have you owned through your entire life? We seriously doubt if the number even comes to eight dogs, total. Now, compare eight to 8,000. We are one of the few in the industry who can get your dog completely off-leash trained AND break its bad habits. Among trainers, this is extremely rare. Even if your dog is considered aggressive, there still might be hope and we can turn it around and save your dog.

You may consider shipping your dog to us to be trained. Or have our top trainer Kevin, fly to your town. The book is definitely the fastest, easiest and most affordable way to start. The downloadable version is available for a limited time at no charge.

If you are interested in perfect-bind version of our book, (when it looks, feels and even smells like an actual book) then it is only $14.95. You still get to keep the e-book format for free. This way if you can't flip through its pages, you can at least scan through the download version and make your decision from there on.

How Do I Download Kevin's Book, "Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training" and When Will it Be Available?

We are working very hard to make this book available to you in a timely manner. There is a huge demand for it and we have gotten literally hundreds of requests for it. Our goal is to have it ready ASAP.

Unfortunately, it really is now out of our hands right now and totally up to editing, publisher and the company which is supposed to set the e-book format of it. There is a lot of efforts that goes in creating a book. You may go to our contact page and select the very first option. You will be one of the first who will be notified as soon as our book is available. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Puppies from seven week old and older. Your pup doesn't' need to be current on it's vaccinations. Remember, our trainers come to you or if you prefer our doggie boot camp, we will take SAME measure and precautions as you would, in keeping the place clean and sanitized. This way your puppy isn't exposed to any harmful viruses.

1- We've eliminated all the excuses dog owners come up with and offer it all:
House Calls, Group Classes to even Having Us Train Your Dog for You AKA Boot Camp.

2- We truly accept all kinds of dogs. Whether your dog's considered aggressive, over-protective, or even a scared and abused dog, we'll work with you and your dog patiently and diligently through the whole process.

3- Our training comes with a written guarantee. Let's face it. Even teachers, doctors, attorneys, coaches or even shrinks don't give you any guarantees with their services. WE DO!!!.

4- We get results without yelling, hitting, using shock collars, or even constant food bribery.

5- We accept dogs as young as 8 weeks and even as old as 10 yr old.

6- 95% of dog trainers you talk to are part timers and hobbyist. Our head instructor Mr.Salem is a true professional and trains dogs for a living. Not that many in this field are good enough or passionate enough to be able to train dogs full time AND be successful at it.

And last but not least..

7- Without a doubt, you are definitely paying for one on one attention and even luxury.

Then this program is perfect for you. We have put a lot of thoughts into it and promise that you will not find any weaknesses in this Board and Train course.

Basically, we've put ourselves in YOUR shoes and made sure that you'll know EXACTLY what to do and NOT to do, once you take your dog home from us. Your dog WILL listen and respond to you and the rest members of your family, just as good--guaranteed.

Some drop off training schools take your poor dog for months. It does NOT take months to properly train a dog and we'll prove it to you.

If you live in Sacramento, consider yourself very very lucky. Since desperate dog owners travel for hours or literally ship their dogs from all over the country, to have Kevin do his magic with their unruly dogs.

We Have to Completely re-train YOU and Your Dog.
So Your Dog Willingly Listens to You Without Any Yelling, Hitting,
or Holding a Juicy Hotdog in front of its Nose.

But if you really insist on a ball figure, we understand and unlike some web sites we hate leaving you in the dark. For Sacramento residence or those who live within 50 miles of Sacramento, it ranges anywhere from $280-$1,700 which is our boarding and training option. You get what you pay for and it's no different when it comes to getting your dog professionally trained.
We offer luxury training for reasonable prices and give you discount when you co-join with a friend, relative, coworker or a neighbor's dog, that also might benefit from having a well-mannered dog. Or if own more than one dog, so it's a win/win situation.

Don't you hate restrictions, limitations, or having your freedom of choice taken away from you? Then why let a dog trainer treat you and your dog this way? Once you limit your options, you limit your success.

We strictly believe and follow the Diverse Method of training. This method has been proven to be the quickest and SMARTEST WAY to train all dogs. The concept is by being versatile and having an open mind, we customize and outline a training program that fits you and your dog's needs best. Again, this means we literally consider your dog's temperament, size, speed, strength, and how we can meet your over all expectations.

Absolutely. We offer house calls not only all over the U.S. but Mr.Salem even have traveled to different countries. Please contact us for detail

Not exactly. Think about it. Thousands of breeders ship puppies as young as eight week old via airlines everyday. If a puppy as young as few weeks can handle it, what makes you think your stubborn adult brat won't be able to? Sometimes we get dogs straight from the breeder shipped to us.

Dogs are tougher than you think. Even the ones that were pampered and spoiled rotten by you, to owners' skepticism do just fine. It's usually the owners who get more stressed thinking their baby's crate will be treated just like another luggage, bouncing left and right. That is not the case at all. Airlines are very careful and caring when it comes to shipping live animals and we never had a complaint.

NOTE: This is NOT the same as your regular dog dish. These are the plastic ones that actually hook from the INSIDE to the crates metal door. They are usually sold or given in all airports.

American Airline, Delta, Continental, United, Alaskan Airline, Air France, Air Canada, British Airways, Air New Zealand, Air Trans, Aloha, America West, Frontier, US Airways, Singapore Airline, Korean Air, Spirit Airlines, Japan Airlines, Hawiian Airlines,

Contact your vet to get a travel health certificate. This is usually good for a month.

- Tape a five lbs of your dog's food in a sealed plastic bag and tape it securely on the outside of your dog's crate. This, along with water is mandatory. The water container, is placed INSIDE the crate. This is the same bottle as the one used for rabbits.

- Take your dog to the CARGO section of your airport. NOT where you would go. You may ask the airport employees on the exact location.

- Arrive 90 minutes before the departure time. That's their policy. Not an hour or thirty min, but literally 90 and some cases, two hours prior departure.

It helps to write with black marker your dog's first name and your last name on the crate and write whether your dog's friendly or not. We pick up your pooch from Sacramento's International Airport. There is no additional charge for this.

If you cannot get to Sacramento for your final lesson, Kevin will personally make a video of YOUR DOG'S training progress. However, if all possible, Mr.Salem prefers to work with you in person. But we understand not everyone's schedule or budget allows this and we'll work with you.

I Prefer Kevin to Come to My Town. What is the Next Step and How Does it Work?

Our head instructor, Mr.Salem flies at least once a month outside the Sacramento region to help frustrated dog owners around the country. You get six lessons in three days period. Each lesson is at least 90 minutes long. Most never need all six. You may schedule your training sessions whenever you like. The Dog Prodigy is there for you, and you only.

The cost for this is one time fee of 2,500 which covers ALL of Mr.Salem’s travel expenses. Please contact us for his available dates.

Is Three Days of Kevin Working with Me Truly Enough?

Remember in three days, you get six lessons. Dog owners almost never need to use all six. In fact, on the third lesson we'll talk about how bad your dog used to be and how good she/he is behaving right now. NO JOKE. Of course you are welcome to take notes, videotape the lesson, and will also get a lifetime of phone consultation and unlimited e-mail support personally by Kevin himself, along with a copy of his books .

If you feel that’s not enough, you might consider the V.I.P package. This package is the one for those who money is the least of their worries. It offers the Doggie Boot Camp, Kevin flying/driving to you, a videotape of your dog personally being trained by Mr.Salem, along with a lifetime phone and e-mail support. For rates outside the U.S. Please contact us directly.

Can This Stop My Dog from Destroying My House and Furniture? I Need Help on How to Stop My Dog's Destructive Chewing?

Yes and NO. We actually will reveal the secret or should we say, the COMMON SENSE ANSWER, here for abolutely FREE. And we wouldn't tell you any different, even when you hire us.

The reality is, no matter how good or gifted an expert might be, nobody can guarantee to stop your dog's destructive chewing. Nobody. The only way you can get your dog to stop chewing on your furniture, the sprinkler system, the phone/cable wires, or ANYTHING valuable, is you have to either crate your dog, for small dogs or puppies, use a play or exercise pen. These are the metal gates that can be extended, turn into a gate, or even a circle. For big, strong, and more agile dogs, you have to build in a dog run, or muzzle your dog. Seriously! If you prefer a muzzle, don’t go with a cloth muzzle. Choose a basket or a caged muzzle. This way your dog can still pant and drink water. (Basket muzzles are not sold in your typical neighborhood stores. You need to order it on line. Or ask around from your local pet stores.)

Otherwise, no matter how much you exercise your dog, catch in the act, soak everything with bitter apple spray, or even rotate your dog’s toys, once you look away or when you leave to work/school, all bets are off.
Dogs usually chew from boredom, when they are curious, when they are mad at you, and when they are still young and teething. It helps to get really strong and spiky toys from the dental section of pet stores, but that still does NOT guarantee a dog that doesn’t chew on inappropriate items.

Basically you need to make it impossible for your dog to make any mistakes. Dogs usually take naps during the day. The destructiveness occur only 10 percent of the time. So you are being nice and fair by giving your dog access to your whole house and your entire yard. And your dog takes advantage of this and abuses it. Play with your dog in your yard, no more than an hour at a time, while being supervised. Or take your dog for long walks. But that still does not make your dog’s jaw tired. It makes a big difference to get your dog very strong and hard toys to chew on. The same advise apply for digging or you could have your yard be called the Swiss Cheese Resort.

Which Do You Think I Can Benefit the Most? Have My Dog Shipped to Kevin, or, Have Mr.Salem Fly to Me?

That's your preference. But after you talk to our top trainer, Kevin, he'll tell you which most likely will be the best option for your dog's needs. Cost wise, they both end up being the same. If you ship your dog to us, it is 1,700 for the training, and don't forget to add the cost of your dog being shipped to Sacramento and back to you. Or, if you decide to do the final lesson in person with Kevin, you need to calculate your time and your travel expenses.

Some of these were right before your eyes all along, some will make you laugh, and some you knowingly were making them, but didn't care or wanted your dog to get away with them up to this point.

It's just like getting in shape. We all have SOME good information, but getting on track with a program, and having the support, the team of experts or a system, helps you get there faster. Training your dog and educating you is no different.

Remember it’s not how much you work with your dog that counts, but you must look at HOW you actually train your dog. That "HOW" is far more important. When you think about it, you might already practiced with your dog here and there, but it hasn't got you much, has it? Like anything, it is GOOD practice that makes perfect.

2- We'll Point Out Your Good Habits and Polish on Your Training Techniques:

We review and point out what you are and HAVE BEEN doing correctly. This is very rare. Since most owners' concerns are correcting their mistakes. But we'll definitely reinforce your good habits. This obviously proves your determination for seeking different alternatives, as well as getting better and faster results.

3- And of course, Teach You All New Secrets, New Knowledge and How Exactly You Can Cut Down on Your Training Time:

This is where you'll learn ALL different ways you can train your dog and solve its bad habits, and which will most likely work the best and the fastest for YOU and YOUR DOG. That's right. We focus and treat each client and each dog, based on their own agenda. Just like us, they are all different. .

The main key to our success is, we will train and educate you by being Diverse. Some of these are common sense, but sadly I'm sure you'll agree that common sense is NOT that common. Not just in dog training, but in general. However to train dogs--correctly--is a SKILL. Applying common sense might get you a well-mannered dog, but training, true training is an art that must be taught and practiced religiously.

Use food, but use it smartly and productively and NEVER in a bribery fashion. Here is an eyebrow raising fact:

Would YOU still work for your company or your cool boss once they wean you off your paychecks? Forget a raise. How about totally cutting down from your allowance?

That's what you are doing to your poor dog. Once you gradually cut down from using treats while training and eventually TOTALLY stop it altogether, your dog will automatically assume either mommy doesn't love me like the old days anymore. Or simply gone broke and can't even afford a bag of stupid milk bones no more. What happened to those days that I ALWAYS got a treat for listening? Now, it's only once in a blue moon. :-( A-ha. You never looked at it that way, did you? And guess what? Food reward trainers will never tell you or never get it. Their way of thinking is completely different than ours.

Treat trainers disagree with us and their argument is: "What is the dog's reward then? Dogs should get a reward for obeying us.?"

What is the reward of your kid responding to your wishes? Did you always get a gift, a toy, a treat, a cookie, or whatever EVERY TIME you listened to your parents? We hope you see the logic behind this. Your dog should listen to you, with or without any bribery. Sit. Why? Because you said so. Because you're my dog. Because your life and the rewards you get are much better than homeless dogs or dogs that are in shelters, or those that are about to be put down. This is a bit deep, but it's the truth..

FREE love, FREE food, FREE shelter, FREE petting, FREE toys, FREE Grooming, FREE poop cleaning and, FREEEEEEEE medical, dental, vision, and even free retirement plan..... heck they don't even pay rent. Does yours? Don't get us wrong. We are not against giving your dog a treat here and there, but rather against constant bribery. After all, poor dogs don't accept money. Unfortunately most dog training books and dog trainers advise you to-

Give Your Dog Treats Just for Being Alive.
How Much Can You Really Accomplish through Bribery?

Please realize we are not asking you to completely stop giving your poor dog any treats forever. Give treats, but sometimes and as a surprise. But if you bribe your dog every chance you get, you'll soon notice that it will lose its value very quickly. Which almost always results in your dog eventually stop responding to you altogether. You most likely already noticed this with your dog.

Here's another good example: Didn't you challenge your parents growing up? What did they say? Honey, because I said so. Because I'm the daddy or I am the mommy. Because I gave you birth. Because you still live under my roof. And because you are not 18 or 21 yet. Brings back memories, doesn't it? Your dog should Sit, Stay, Lay Down etc because you asked him to, and NOT because of a cookie. You might say, it sure sounds easy, but how do you get to that point in dog training? Don't worry, we'll get you there.

What will impress you even more is, we'll teach you all this without ever confusing or abusing your dog. You won't even have to raise your voice. That's right, no yelling will be required.

Bottom line with us, your dog will learn to listen to you because she'll know that makes you happy and you said so. Not always because of a beef jerky, a body-slam, a rolled up newspaper, or you sounding like a marine sergeant. Did you know that dogs can hear better us 3-4 times?

We agree that this sounds a lot like bragging, but here are the facts. If you can honestly find another dog trainer/dog school in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world that:

The main reason Kevin is dying to publish his book, is because he knows as ambisious, as kind, and as helpful as he is with helping owners from all over the world, he still cannot get to every one of them.. But his book could easily deliver his message globally making a difference in the world of dog owners and even other dog experts worldwide.

How is it that My Dog Will Learn to Listen to--ME--When You Were the One Training it All This Time?

Remember Cesar Millan from the National Geographic channel, currently the most respected and well-known dog expert has been changing dogs without their owners for Years.

He calls it dogs in rehab. Call it rehab or boot camp, it's the same concept. With us, you get our guarantee in--WRITING. Yes even with our Doggie Boot Camp program. So it is NOT a sales-pitch.

However we do respect your skepticism and even though we DO offer house calls AND group classes besides our drop off training program, we want you consider this hard to ignore fact:

How do you think dogs for the blind, therapy dogs, hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, bomb detection dogs, as well as K-9 protection get usually trained? You guessed it. The majority of these dogs are ALL trained on a daily basis in a board and train fashion. You don't have to take our word for it. Research it for yourself.

Everybody agrees that these dogs are the MOST impressively trained dogs in the world. After all, they take a blind person to the bus stop, bring back a bird from a mile away, run like a flying bullet and bite a person ON COMMAND and let go ON command, help a handicap person with their daily routines AND detect a bomb without blowing themselves or their handlers up.

Everyone of these dogs were trained by an expert and--NOT--their owners. How do you drag the blind person to daily trainng session and give him a hyper yellow lab? The poor guy is blind for??? That dog was carefully trained by an expert first. And then, was registered to its new owner.

Now when you teach dogs in a board and train fashion these amazing complicated tasks, do you honestly think your dog cannot be taught the basic and even advanced off-leash training, as well as to stop its bad habits such as: jumping, barking, pulling on leash, control its over-protectiveness, stop it's nipping or get it fully potty trained in only two weeks? Of course it can be done and we've done it with hundreds of dogs and you cannot ignore our happy clients.

So yes, the majority of these dogs got their training without the involvement of their owners. The owners or their handlers came in the picture at the very end.

You'll notice that the only ones who are against this option are the trainers who only offer private or group classes. These trainers will desperately push you to join their group or private lessons. As we mentioned above, we offer those as well. So our Doggie Boot Camp isn't your only choice. We leave it up to you. Obviously the boarding and training is a bit more expensive. Since we do all the hard work for you and have you stay on top it from there on.

But ultimately, it is up to YOU whether you want to work with us first, or have us take that rascal from you and give him back--totally trained. Watch him once he returns, do the laundry, the dishes, cook some gourmet food and even wash your husband/boyfriend's car. Hopefully you have one, not a husband AND a boyfriend.

So for Some Owners, Our Doggie Boot Camp Just Makes Sense and is Most Convenient.
You Might be Very Busy or Leaving Town Anyway.

Bottom line, you will be learning a new skill, as well as learn to correct all of your mistakes. Yes. Dog training IS a skill. If it was that easy, don't you think we'd see more trained dogs everywhere???

Once your dog gets trained by Kevin, the hard part is out of the way. The next step is educating and training you, your spouse, your kids, roommates etc.

No offense, any dog expert will agree with us that the hardest part is teaching and convincing the owners. We definitely don't believe with the saying: "NO bad dogs...only bad owners." We've trained pretty crazy and sometimes EVIL dogs with kindest owners in our training career. But that saying is true for the most part.

How Do I Know Whether My Dog Needs the Entire Two Weeks or a Week to Ten Days Will Do?

Don't forget that dogs are just like us. Some learn fast and some don't. Most are very smart, but are also extremely stubborn. You know for a fact that your dog is very intelligent and know exactly what you are saying or what you want from him/her for the most part. The reason your dog doesn't always respond to you is simply because of your technique and the fact that your dog doesn't completely see you as the one in charge. So you might be in charge most of the time, but not ALL the time and your dog knows it.

Smart, Stubborn and sometimes Spoiled are all the characteristics of most dogs that come in our training. We'll usually know at the end of the first week how long more your dog needs to stay with us.

We train your dog three times daily. Twice by Kevin and once by one of his female assistants. All these trainers have been expertly trained personally by Kevin.

The idea is for your dog to also respond to a female's voice. Each time your dog gets trained anywhere from 30 min but no more than 40 min at a time. Again, this depends on your dog's age, breed, stubborness and of course your goals. We train your dog three times daily, and go to once daily through the end of the training. Let's face it. It is unlikely for YOU and your family be able to continue with three times a day training for rest of your dog's life. But once a day or even three times a week, is realistic and achievable.

We are getting busier and lazier than ever and we promise you that even if you train your dog twice a week, it will remain trained for life. If you are not happy, you may always drop off your dog for a brush up.

2. It is a smart combination of dog training, dog behavior and applying canine psychology. Just making your poor dog obey commands like a robot isn't fair. All you will end up is with a dog that obeys like a soldier, and has no personality. Most of our clients want well-behaved and well-trained PETS, NOT robots. You'll agree that combining these three elements are extremely important and productive in achieving great results.

3. The Diverse Method allows you using treats as reward, but only SOMETIMES and NEVER in a luring bribery fashion. This means in order to get your dog to obey a command, you don't always need to hold a treat in front it. Be honest. Do you have a pouch of hotdogs with you 24/7?

Hint: If you keep on depending on food reward based training, you are NOT being Diverse. That's just bribing your dog to death, which results in your dog thinking that he has a CHOICE.

We've noticed, most of these dogs end up being dominant, needy, spoiled, beg at the table, steal food from you, from kids, from counters, and in some worst scenarios, end up guarding bones and food from their owners. And who can blame them. These dogs automatically assume it is their God's given right to take food from anywhere, anyplace, anytime and from any body.

4. The Diverse Method allows you the use of different training tools if and when needed, but as long as it's done in a correct and a humane fashion. After all why use a training tool that stopped working, or it never worked on your dog in the first place?

5. This method is based on correcting your dog, (NOT by abusing it with beating, slamming, or raising your voice.), when you catch it misbehave, and praise it by love, affection, kind words and SOMETIMES even with treats, once you see it stop misbehaving or when it responds to you.

Years of study and comparison have gone to this method and it has passed the test of time with the most difficult breed of dogs. We have tried and seen it all. And honestly, all methods could work and they all could also fail you. What works best in the long run is to be-Diverse. The results you'll get by applying this approach will you flawless and you'll end up with a changed dog or a truly TRAINED dog that you can brag about.

In a nutshell, if your training progress isn't getting you the results you are looking for, then we'll--CHANGE IT.

Unfortunately the majority of dog trainers and dog schools don't really know about the power of being Diverse. If their method worked for you and your dog fine, if not they'll ask you to leave. It's their way or the highway.

We are all different and one method, or one philosophy doesn't always work on us humans. What makes you think it is the same when it comes to training your dog?

What do topnotch trainers use with THEIR dogs? The answer is very simple: "Whatever that works best for them and their dogs". Why should it be any different with YOU? Our job is to properly educate you and let you even TRY a tool of your choice. As long as it is not done in a aggrressive or any inhumane fashion, we definitely encourage you to be Diverse and have an open mind and consider your dog's temperament. .

Again, being Diverse simply means--YOU HAVE--a choice. This also depends on YOUR handling ability, how strong your dog is, the size of your dog, age, temperament, sensitivity, speed, strength, as well as your OWN strength and coordination. Having a good attitude and being consistent is important, but not always enough. You need to keep every one of these aspects in mind.

Dog trainers and dog books never take the time to actually educate you on pros and cons of different training tools. Most dog training schools try to convince you by an assumption.

Don't assume ANYTHING, until you know all the facts. Brainwashing or try to convince you into believing that only one training tool works, or should work on ALL dogs isn't a fact. It's just an assumption. Why keep on using ONE training tool, even if you notice it isn't getting your dog's attention at all?

You know your dog better than anyone else. You know for a darn fact how strong, how fast, how dominant, how agile, how predictable or how unpredictable your dog can be and what distracts your dog, and what doesn't. You also know very well on when your dog obeys you for the most part, and when it makes you look like a moron. Then make sure you use the tool that works best on your dog, in any circumstances.

How do you know a certain tool is the right for your dog? You have to honestly ask yourself on whether you can get your dog to respond to you--EVERY TIME--especially around:

Read that list again. Can you truly stop and control your dog's: Barking, Jumping Up, Play-biting, Pulling on the leash, Snapping, Whimpering, and Over-protective around every one of these situations? Most likely not.

If you can, please call us so you can talk to our head instructor Kevin for a trainer opening position. You either know what you are doing, or got lucky with Lassie's 12th cousin or something.

We always start the training with a regular flat collar and never assume or predict, what you should or should not use on your dog. It is your dog, your decision. Nobody will or should, force you into using a tool that isn't right for you and your dog. It's not fair to jump into any conclusions. We let YOU use and decide which tool you are comfortable with, makes sense to you, and most importantly, works best for you, your spouse, your kids and the rest members of your family.

Our job however is making SURE that you are using it correctly and humanely. We will gladly educate you about all other different training tools, and which have been proven to work best and fastest through years of studies and research..

Regular Collars, Harnesses, Retractable Leashes, Chain Leashes, Buckled Collars, Clip-on collars, to even Choke chains, Pinch/prong Collars, Halti, Gentle Leaders, Martingale, Clickers, to even bark collars. They all have their pros and cons. Once we cover in detail and really explain the advantages and disadvantages of each tool, you'll be surprise to know that how little the general public, pet stores clerks, and even trainers know about this, and how much you actually been misled on this topic.

So the answer is: Different strokes for different folks. Whatever that works best for you and your family, and gets you the results and satisfaction you're looking for, then that's the training tool you should use.

Not Every Dog School Accepts Pups that Young. How and Why is it that You Do? What Can You Possibly Teach or Accomplish with a Puppy as Young as Seven Wk Old?

It is more educating YOU and correcting your mistakes and building good habits from the early start. Whether you do anything or not, your dog is constantly learning AND getting away with bad habits. They are just like kids. We will show you how to stop and solve your puppy's:

Housebreaking, play-biting, jumping up, separation anxiety, excitement/fearful urination, crate training, boundary and border training in your home, (which rooms do you allow/forbid your pup) and accepting and not fighting the leash.

As far as obedience commands, the only 3 commands you can teach a pup that young are: Sit, Lie Down, and Come.

Boarding & Training: 1-2 Weeks of Boarding, Unlimited Follow Up home/group Classes
Lifetime: Unlimited Home and Group Classes, For all of your current or Future Dogs

It actually means for as long as you remain a dog owner. In reality, it is a lifetime membership for YOU. We are the only dog school in entire Sacramento who offers this sweet deal. I'm sure you agree, it just makes sense once you get on track, it is even much easier to get OFF track. Our Lifetime Program is for those who value luxury, repetition and want a well-behaved dog for life. You could spread out your private lessons within months or even years down the road.

E-mail us and call us. You'll notice the way our contact page is designed, you'll be able to simply checkmark all of your dog's bad habits, and your goals. This way we know who you are in advance.

We are known for answering our lines and returning phone calls ASAP. E-mails are also read and responded personally by our top trainer Kevin daily. So it is very rare that you'll get our recording. If you do, obviously it means we are out training dogs or assisting others on the phone. We still do our best to get back to you within the same day. We know that you need help with your dog, and need it NOW.

We've heard of dog schools and dog trainers who hardly ever answer their lines or care to even return your phone calls. Watch your hair grow gray waiting for a call back. We find this very un-professional.

To your surprise, the majority of dog trainers are NOT full time committed dog trainers, or might be just into teaching group classes, and either their class is full, or close for that time of the year.

With us, you will always be able to get your dog trained within two weeks or sooner--GUARANTEED!

How Do I Download Your Book, "Hidden Secrets Behind Dog Training" and When Will it Be Available?

We are working very hard to make the book available to you ASAP. There is a huge demand for it and we have gotten hundreds of requests for it. Our goal is to have it ready around April and May of this year.

Unfortunately, it really is now out of our hands and up to editing, publisher and the company which is working on the e book format of it. There is alot of efforts that goes in creating a book. But will be worth it. Please go to our contact page and send us an e-mail. You will be one of the first who will be notified as soon as it's available.

Absolutely NOT and our Video Clip clearly proves this. Just look at how happy, relaxed and obedient those dogs respond to commands. Hunters and protection training schools are known to use shock collars with their training strategy, but NOT us.

I must have been about twelve years old. We had a yellow Labrador Retriever who my father named after the Rin Tin-tin show. Since my younger brothers couldn't pronounce or remember Tin-tin, we settled for Tan-tan instead. This dog truly was an awesome watchdog that was very loyal and loving to all of us. Just like most labs, he was always as happy, hyper and as goofy as he could be. We had to leave town for a few days and unfortunately we couldn't take him with us. So in a last minute arrangement my dad asked one of our neighbors to watch him for us. He agreed that he and his kids would drop by to feed and check on him daily while we were gone.
Just like most untrained dogs, every time the neighbor and his kids dropped by Tan-tan became very happy, animated, and would start jumping up from being over excited; which always resulted in them getting dirty, muddy, scratched up and in some cases even resulting in knocking down the neighbors' kids. Our neighbor finally got fed up with this, and grabbed our shovel and slammed it across the poor dog's skull. This blow was severe enough to cause a hemorrhage in his brain.
When we arrived home, we were surprised that we didn't hear his usual happy yips and yelps... you know—the kind that most dogs make when they greet their owners.
My dad tried to push the gate open but noticed it was stuck. With a few more attempts, he finally managed to push it open only to find Tan-tan's stiff dead body pressed against our gate. The poor dog tried to see us so badly, that he somehow managed to drag his half-dead body from the center of our yard to the gate, and died waiting on us. I'll never forget his paw prints that gradually faded away from the middle of our yard, and the rest of the way he just dragged his body all the way to our gate. All that devotion and effort just to see us one last time.

That was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. Another neighbor told us later how hard it was watching Tan-tan suffer. He said the poor dog was pacing back and forth, crying, and howling day and night. They didn't know whether his crying was due to him missing us, or was he in some sort of pain. They noticed his dish was still full of his food. Just how we left it and the poor dog was dying from pain and sorrow.
You can imagine how heart broken we were. As a child, it definitely affected me more than I’d anticipated. At first, I thought of that neighbor as an "evil" cold-blooded person. I know now that he may not have been a bad person, but he was trying to stop our dog from jumping up on him and his kids. The whole sad and senseless loss of a dear pet could have been avoided with a little training and teaching Tan-tan some basic manners. Of course, Tan-tan didn't know and I didn't have the sense and knowledge back then to realize that it was OUR responsibility to teach him to greet visitors politely.

They call dogs "Man's Best Friend" and I couldn't agree more. After all, just look at how your dog greets you everyday. None of your loved ones greet like that. It is happy, real and genuine love that is impossible to fake. From that day on I developed a very strong love and attachment toward dogs. I found myself rescuing them while assisting different dog trainers, volunteering in kennels, shelters, and by fostering them and finding them a loving responsible owner. I started reading most of Jack London's books in which he relates to dogs and wolves. Part of the reason why London describes dogs and their loyalty so well is because at one point in his life he was homeless and literally lived with stray dogs on the streets and under bridges.

It's impossible to describe dogs’ love, loyalty and compassion that well, without being involved with them on a much deeper level. Somehow, you always know when you meet a dog lover, and that's how I felt in Jack London's stories—as if I was in front of another fellow dog lover.
Being a dog lover brings me to another important point about the negligence of some owners.

Have you ever found yourself in a room full of caged up barking dogs that have less than twenty-four hours to live? Have you had them lick the tip of your fingers through the fence, look you in the eye, and keep on barking, whimpering, pacing back and forth and getting on their hind legs begging so you rescue them and save them from being killed? Have you noticed the ones lying in the back shivering from fear with no more hope or energy left in them yet still trying to get your attention with their eyes? Maybe it wasn't their personality to be loud, consistent, or as hyper as the other dogs and maybe they preferred that you notice them better by being calm, quiet, and steady?

It pains me every time I even think of this harsh reality, let alone see it with my own eyes. Even "tough-hearted" dog lovers find themselves tearing up. Why do these dogs have a twenty-four hour tag on their cages? It's simple. Because there is just no more space, no more budget, and no more people who are interested or WILLING to adopt them. So it's just easier to kill them all with a lethal injection and make room for other dogs. How sad. When you really think about it, clearly, the dogs aren't at fault here. This is another example of man's ignorance and irresponsibility.

Did you know that if you take a pregnant dog to a shelter it will be euthanized automatically? How can they be so cold and cruel you ask? As I already mentioned it’s because there is no time or staff to take care of a pregnant dog, let alone take care of her pups.

Folks, this is the harsh reality we are facing with millions of dogs everyday, not only throughout the U.S but all around the world. Yes. Millions. If you are a dog lover, a true dog lover, it will be hard to hide your feelings. I was raised the old fashion way that men just don't cry, but these dogs bring tears to my eyes every single time. If I could, I would take them all home with me. Ninety percent of the time the reason these poor dogs end up in shelters in the first place is due to the owners lack of knowledge, commitment, dedication, training technique and of course, by neglecting the importance of spaying and neutering their dogs in a timely manner.
When someone loses a loved one in a tragic manner, or if they have been a victim themselves, they have a tendency to get involved in that particular field to make a difference. These individuals whose lives have been scarred do a much better job. It's because they have their heart and soul in it. It's not all about the money or fame for them. It is deeply personal. Some of these folks build new organizations, help pass new laws and donate their time, money, and effort because it gives them a joy and helps them to heal. As you can see my mission is an example of this.

My path, my talent, and my gift to you is teaching you how to read, understand, communicate and be able to train your dog without any abuse. Most importantly, help you do it the best, and fastest way possible. But as ambitious, tireless, and determined as I am, I still cannot help every dog owner and dog trainer around the world. So I'm hoping that perhaps my book can make a lasting impact in the lives of many more of "Man's Best Friend" for years to come.

Some ask me why I do this. Now you know. My drive comes mostly from the love of dogs. If everything happens for a reason, then I guess I had to lose my dog in a tragic manner in my childhood to be able to save thousands more today.

Kevin's team of trainers are all pro and excellent in what they do. You are working with trainers who do this for a living and truly show the love and compassion of working with you and your pooch.

Unfortunately most trainers these days lack people skills. They end up talking and treating YOU, like you're the dog. When you DO find a trainer with a decent personality, you soon find out that they are totally clueless when it comes to delivering--REAL--results.

Our trainers teach with kindness, consideration, and most importantly with respect to you and your dog's needs. Kevin wouldn't have them on our team if this wasn't the case. Your dog is going to get trained by our top instructor Kevin, and his team of qualified trainers.

Since the first lesson is the most important, Kevin will personally assist you with these. This is a ninty minute lesson with the master himself and you get to pick his brain and see him do his magic on your dog. He tells it all and holds nothing back while making sure that you are totally happy and of course even--impressed through the entire session!
