Dog Training

Positive Methods Dog Training

My approach to dog training is largely based on using reward reinforcement techniques  vs. punishment methods. I believe Positive Method training is not only more effective but more humane and helps strengthen the bond between pets and owners. 

I work with each pet and their families to provide personalized sessions that address specific pet behavior issues. Signals, corrective methods, and strategies for prevention are key components of training sessions. 

I provide 1:1 dog training in Boston and South Shore areas. My prices are reasonable.   Contact mike@libertypetcoach.com to learn more.

Pulling on Leash

Dogs pulling on a leash is a common problem.  It's not only unpleasant but many owners and dog walkers experience wrist and shoulder pain from dogs who pull. 

Case Study:
Here we can see "Honey" really pulling on her leash.  This makes it difficult for this 13-year-old girl to walk the family dog. It's also not good for the dog. Here you can hear Honey literally choking herself by pulling on the leash.
