Dog Training in Pennsylvania | PA Dog Trainers

In order to find a quality dog training professional in Pennsylvania, you should do your research. Currently Pennsylvania does not have any state regulations on becoming a dog trainer. Its important to find a professional who has not only experience, but someone who has a national certification. The CCPDT is a certification for Pet Dog Trainers. If your goal is to have a well behaved family pet, this is a great dog training certification to look for. Our Pennsylvania dog trainers directory has several professionals listed.

Positive behavior help.
I can help you solve many common behavior problems including dog or human aggression. My methods are primarily positive reinforcement based and dog-friendly, using proven scientific techniques for effective and humane training. I believe in building a strong relationship with the canines in our lives. Everything flows from that point on. If you clearly communicate with your dog what you desire, then it effectively improves the relationship, resulting in a more complete harmony all around. My goal is to give you the skills that you need to achieve this harmony. Your dog will thank you for taking the time to understand the human/canine relationship needs! I believe in training and behavior modification without pain and I use methods that do just that. I have 4 dogs of my own in residence and typically have a foster dog or two as well. I also run a breed specific rescue and have much experience specializing in multiple dog issues.

Training for over 50 years, I use ONLY positive methods to enhance homan/canine communication.
<p align="center"><strong><font size="3">Do your friends shudder when you show up with your dog? Are you afraid to take your pup to town. WhattaPup!! can help you form a team with your dog to create behavior you both enjoy. All Positive All The Time. <br />Classes for pups, basic manners or in-home sessions. <br />Educated and certified trainer makes it fun and effective for dog and human alike. <br />Educated as a teacher, MJ has Masters's plus, years of teaching, and more years of dog training. A breeder of fine Afghan Hounds, dogs with the L'Rhel name hold some of the highest honors in show, coursing, obedience and therapy service. <br />Puppygarten is the place to start! Using pup-sized "furniture", ramps, bumps, tunnels and the like, pups and their partners learn confidence, coordination and how to have fun with other folks and dogs. We also concentrate on "mouth manners": taking treats politely, "giving" objects and "leave it". <br />Basic Manners class is for slightly older dogs and teaches control behaviors: sit, down, settle. Also coming when called, walking on a loose leash and beginning to stay--all with the AKC CGC in mind. <br />In-home classes may help those with schedule or mobility problems or may help with a specific "problem" behavior, such as jumping, pulling on leash, chewing or the like. <br />Some dogs need some training before they can do well in classes. <br />MJ is a Certified Mentor Trainer for ABC dog trainers. She is also a member of APDT, LVAHA and is companion animal shelter coordinator for Col/Mont C.A.R.T.</font></strong></p>
