Walk/Train Sessions
We Never Leave you without Help. If your Dog is having any problems with the Lessons, or if He/She is a previous Good Rascal Student who needs a Refresher in Basic Obedience Commands, you can consider our Walk/Train Sessions. With this Service, our Trainer can come to your Home and review One-On-One the current week's Obedience Commands with your Dog. If your Dog is a Previous Good Rascal Student, and needs some help on Obedience Commands He/She seems to have forgotten, the Trainer will Review any Commands your Dog may need help with since the previous Obedience Training. Your Dog will get One-on-One Instruction from the Trainer, who will also review Proper Loose Leash Walking techniques. Your Dog will be sure to get all the help that He/She needs. Please see our Rates & Policies Page for Fees.

Real-Life Training Sessions
Once your dog has completed our Basic Obedience Training, we offer Real-Life Dog Training for you and your dog. Our Trainer will meet you at a mutually-convenient location such as a park, pet-friendly restaurant, or other pet-friendly location, to work with you and your Dog in real-life situations. Your Dog will be taught proper Behavior and Manners, so that you will enjoy taking him on outings more. You will be taught how to work with your dog, controlling you and your Dog's stress level, when the unexpected occurs. Please see our Rates & Policies Page for Fees.

The pictures on the bottom of this page show Lucy, a large 8-year old energetic Weimaraner mix who was rescued by a woman in her 80's. Gary had met this woman after Lucy had knocked her to the ground (it turned out she had already been knocked down by Lucy many times). Gary offered to teach Lucy how to be well-behaved inside the home. She became a happy and welcome member of the household.

He will work with You and your Dog at your Home, or another private location, and Train your Dog in a foundation of Basic Obedience and Good Manners.
