Socializing Your Dog with Other Dogs!
TRAINING
In our classes, you and your dog will learn all obedience commands on and off the leash. Socialization is a big part of our classes, since all the dogs work and play off leash, except when we’re working on leash manners. Our highly qualified and experienced trainers help you to understand dog communication and to see the way dogs see the world. You’ll come away with a better understanding of how your dog sees you. Our classes are fun, because we play fun games to develop communication and bonding and to build up your dog’s attention to you.
You’ll take your training to a whole new level, paving the way for you and your dog to start an amazing new life together full of fun and freedom. In this class you will teach your dog complex behaviors you never thought possible. You will learn an artificial language to communicate with your dog!
We use the World-Famous Mirror Method Dog Training. Head trainer, Vicki Nourse, is the first American to study Mirror Method in Budapest, Hungary.
If desired, on your last session, you and your dog can take the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen Challenge (CGC) and earn that title. The CGC patch is a great symbol to show the public your dog has good manners. The CGC is the first step toward becoming a therapy dog. This certification is recommended for dogs 3 months old and older, especially those intended to be Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s).
Cost $799

“At first we thought Mirror Method was just about dog training and now we see that it’s about people training. Our dog couldn’t change until we did. Shelby, our dog, had become neurotic and was acting out against people and other animals. Once we took the leadership role, we are all happier and she is well behaved”.

“These are not traditional dog training classes! As a veterinarian with ten years of training experience and a strong interest in behavior problems, I brought my exuberant Labrador to Mirror Method classes to see if we could improve his behavior around dogs and other distractions. Not only is he better behaved, but I learned how to apply the principles of Mirror Method to issues not covered in class. I especially enjoyed the fun games to learn more about my dog and myself”.
Carol E. Black, DVM, Tyler
“I have a very tough dog to control. He’s very active and headstrong. Mirror Method classes gave me total control of him, off leash, with no force. This was unimaginable to me and now it’s true”.
Abdul Abin, Floors 4 U
“The best thing about Mirror Method is that you don’t have to be rough or demeaning with your dog to establish your place as the leader. My dog is very shy and Mirror Method showed me the most amazing non violent ways of showing my dog that I’m the confident leader she’s always dreamed of following”.
Melissa Blair PhD, LPC
“My dog showed the ultimate disrespect. He ignored me, snapped and peed on people. I wanted him to be a great family dog. After graduating from Mirror Method I feel in control and my dog loves me even more”!
