What kind of equipment is used in TLC training programs? Back to top
TLC4Dogs uses several types of equipment in training your pets.
The best equipment suited for your pet's training can be discussed during interviews
or lessons. There are many types of training eqipment available.
Most
equipment does not come with instructions, and can be harmful to
your pet when used improperly. Our knowledgeable staff will train your dog
effectively and carefully. Some of our favorite equipment includes head
collars, leather leashes, fluffy/large pillows, bait bags, large and small confinement
areas, x-pens, clickers, pooper scoopers, and unbreakable toys.
What is TLC's training agenda? Back to top
We train any breed over 8 weeks old. No matter what training program
you decide best suits you and your dog, we customize your dog's training
to fit your lifestyle. Home training objectives include:
•
Patterned behaviors for
greeting people and respecting furniture
•
Potty training
•
Boundary training at gates and doors
•
"Stay" on a pillow,
even while company is over or kids are running around
One of our lifesaving
objectives is our swimming program. This is for our customers who
have pools. Dogs that don't like water do not always know what to do when
they fall into a pool. To prevent accidents, we train dogs to swim to the
steps and to safety.
When is the right time to begin training? Back to top
As soon as possible! There is no such thing as not training; if
you don't teach your pet good habits early on, they'll quickly develop ones you
don't want.
My dog listens to me inside the house. Why is he "ignoring" me in other places? Back to top
Because there are a lot of really interesting things "out there" -- even
more interesting than us! Seriously, if your pet knows the behavior inside
the house only, then the dog has not yet generalized or truly learned the
behavior.
Why does my dog listen only when I have food in my hand? Back to top
If we train our pets with food alone, then the behavior will be paired
with, and generally only accur when, food is present.
When will my dog be completely trained? Back to top
Training is a lifetime process. Once behaviors are learned, they
will have to be reinforced periodically to be dependable.
Where is TLC4Dogs located? Back to top

I think my dog is untrainable! Back to top
We have two questions for you: does your dog react to the doorbell?
And, does he react to you opening a food can, or pouring food into his
bowl? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then yes, there
truly is hope, even for your dog.
How do I enroll in a TLC4Dogs training course? Back to top

programs, and find out which one best suits your lifestyle. Our skilled,
