PumpkinPups Dog Training 

   If you have recently adopted a shelter dog, gotten a new puppy, or have an older dog with behavior problems.......

   My goal as a trainer is to teach you the skills you need to establish yourself as your dog or puppy's benevolent leader.

   I will teach you the skills you need to get and keep your dog's attention in distracting situations.

   Whether your dog is shy or confident, I will show you how to use time- and science-proven gentle methods to train new behaviors and to repair serious or long standing problems.

   No matter what your goal is, my lessons are structured to be enjoyable and as stress-free as possible for you and your dog. 

    I will teach you how to communicate clearly so your dog understands you.

    ....And equally important, I will explain and illustrate what your dog is telling you through both body language and behavior, so that your responses will be as appropriate and effective as possible.
