Private Instruction & Obedience
Synopsis
Private instruction is one-on-one individualized instruction for the dog owner with their dog by a Master Dog Trainer and Animal Behaviorist at Acadia Canine Academy. This is very specialized one-on-one dog training that you will not get from a general dog trainer. This training is not done as many other trainers do, in a class setting for a reduced rate. We do not offer any training that is in a communal class setting as we believe that training must be on an individual basis tailored to the individual person and their dog. Here at Acadia Canine Academy, you get what you pay for, value for your dollar.
We offer private dog training for behavior modification for behavioral issues that you may have with your dog. Many times we will make a home environment evaluation of the animal’s home and the family, (pack hierarchy). A behavioral analysis is then done with recommendations made to the pet owner. This many times will also require behavioral modification of the dogs owners through our coaching to break dogs of bad habits that the owners do not even realize they inadvertently create. Sometimes referrals to a Veterinarian are made for medicinal intervention depending on the behavior of the animal.
Private Instruction is not limited to obedience and remedial solutions such as problem-solving. Private Instruction can also be proactive and preventative instruction to the dog owner so as to avoid the pitfalls that many dog owners end up in with their new family member. This can involve home environment assessment or remote location environment assessment. Essentially, this is an evaluation of how your dog interacts socially and environmentally at home, and away from home. Many dogs, at a young age are not environmentally socialized. All too often, humans misinterpret what socialization means in its entirety. Socialization is not solely about interactions with human beings. Socialization includes interacting with the dogs environment, different weather conditions, different ground surfaces, different sounds, different smells, different visual observations, and interactions with various species.
We offer evaluations of your canine’s temperament which is comprised of (8) eight instinctual drives and recommendations for modifications through training and diet to find a harmonious balance of the instinctual drives of your canine. This, a “dog trainer” cannot provide to you. He or she does not have that expertise. This expertise comes from years of breeding, and training and competing canines in the Schutzhund Dog Sport that requires the canine to perform at his or her optimal levels as an Olympian Athlete and a concise diet where a single pound can make the difference between success and failure.
Through Private Instruction, we also provide proven regimens for nutritional wellness and body weight reduction of your canine pets and working dogs. A dog’s nutritional wellness is always important to the overall temperament of the animal. We do offer telephone “Private Instruction” in coaching proper diet and exercise for your canine. We also offer telephone advisement at the below hourly rate and will conduct an interview over the telephone and do a workup for you of your canine that will be similar to this evaluation of Assessment of Nishi
