The 6 week dog training course consists of private one on one training that is personalized to both yours and your dogs specific needs. The general way it works is we set up a consistent time to meet once a week for an hour to a hour and half each week for a duration of six weeks. DFDI follows a rubric and outline that we've carefully created however certain cases call for a specialized approach. In the less extreme cases we are very well equipped in training the Puppy Obedience LEVEL 1 & 2 , as well as Adult Dog Obedience LEVEL 1 & 2.

On the other end we do also work with rescue dogs and are very familiar with training in Introducing a new dog to a new home. We believe primarily in positive reinforcement and a slow approach for our training style however we also do adjust our approach according to the dogs we are working with. We will NEVER try anything without first talking to the owner in regards to their comfort. In regards to E-COLLAR training, this is usually never recommended by us here at DFDI, although we are trained in how to use these types of tools appropriately in the event an owner is interested in that type of training.
DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
"I can’t thank Alex enough for all the help he has given my family and me with our Australian Cattle Dog mix, Cayde. Cayde is very high energy, smart and protective. Having only raised sweet, people-pleasing guide dogs before, we were unprepared for what Cayde had to offer upon rescuing him. The first thing Alex gave us was hope. He worked with us and taught us how to work with a dog like Cayde and today we continue to be amazed at the level of obedience we get from this dog. I personally didn’t think it could happen. I also feel very confident handling my dog and that when things get tense, he and I both know that I am in control and he is not. Alex has also spent time working directly with m sons and helping them to grow and understand in confidence with Cayde. I tell everyone I can about Alex and DFDI and highly recommend him."
