Online Virtual Training:
The world has changed in the last year and so has the way we train dogs. Not only through science-based, positive reinforcement training but by the technologies that help us deliver services to you and your dog. Four Paws Dog Training ventured into Virtual Online Training and the clients are loving it!
Are you…
-
a busy professional with limited time to attend dog classes with your pup?
-
a young family with children and want your dog to be a family dog and want the kids involved too?
-
a rural resident and have to travel too far to attend a dog class?
-
a first-time dog owner or later in life dog owner?
Debra is excited to offer an 8 session Basic Manners & Life Skills Online Training for all ages of dogs.
The benefits of Online Training are:
- Convenience: Working in your own home allows hours to be flexible without the need for travel. It is not dependent on seasonal weather changes or Public Health issues. Even if you are “under the weather,” you can train your dog at home.
- Focused: Online training allows both you and your dog to be focused without distractions. Clients have indicated that they are more relaxed and can listen more attentively working in their natural environment. The dog is also training in the area where they live and spend the majority of their time. Stress is less for them too!
- Accommodates special needs: If your dog is overly shy, fearful, or reactive, it allows them to gain strong foundation skills in a safe non-distracted environment. Owners feel less stress as they help their dogs gain valuable skills.
- Free video recording of the session: How many times have you gone to a class and despite taking good notes and listening intently, you get home and cannot remember all the things you learned? With a video recording, you can review the lesson and will have access to download it to your own computer for future reference. Clients love this!

We wholeheartedly recommend Four Paws Dog Training!
I reached out to Deb when we, like so many others, adopted a puppy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Deb was an invaluable resource as we selected a dog and prepared to introduce the pup to our 10-year-old Great Pyrenees. It was very important to us that we do the dog training thing right – Deb shared an abundance of helpful resources that were invaluable in those first few weeks. We had five one-hour sessions. Instruction was via Zoom and occurred in our home, wherever we trained our puppy. Deb observed and coached us while providing helpful feedback. After each session, we received a recording of our Zoom meetings to reference later, as well as additional resources related to that week’s lesson. We learned so much about positive methods to teach our puppy and prevent unwanted behaviors, as well as dog development in general. Deb was flexible with our crazy schedule, and did a fantastic job of engaging and supporting our teenage son throughout the process. We wholeheartedly recommend Four Paws Dog Training!
