How do we train?
We train "you" to train the dog, we never need to touch your dog, that's right... wait what??
We train "you" to train the dog to respond to the first command given.
We train "you" to use praise & leash/collar correction methods during training.
To better serve you & your dogs needs classes are taught ONE ON ONE.
Classes are taught for everyday life obedience, & tailored for the "Pet Companion".
Each class is built to flow into the next level of training (E.g. Basic into Advanced).
How you train your dog, (how you handle and correct) prepares you both for the next level, & in turn, making it easier for you & your dog to learn.
We do not see any place for abuse in training, we do not hit, kick or smack dogs. As working dog trainers for Police, Schutzhund, etc... in which these types of dogs must be very confident and obedient, we feel dogs must respect the owner, but you also need to build confidence in your dog. Hitting or smacking a dog does not build confidence. Respect must go both ways.
Food motivation training is not used in training the adult dog, but we do use some treats in Puppy Class. We feel this type of training is best for the training of puppies, used for focus on the sport dog, or just having fun teaching tricks, etc... Food & toys are great tools if used properly & in conjunction with proper correction methods. If you want a showy A.K.C. or Schutzhund Obedience dog I like to use food/toy motivation, along with praise & corrections. A dog trained with only food motivation, probably won't listen to your commands when he isn't hungry, there is a big distraction, or he just don't feel like it right now. How often do you carry food in your pockets? A lot of you have tried this method & you know what I'm talking about!
Our training gets results, and makes sense to you and your dog, at least that's what our customers tell us.....
The genetic makeup of your dog cannot be changed, so be careful of how you choose your furry friend. However you can control the dog through obedience even if you cannot change their desires.
Though I have trained both Schutzhund/IPO and AKC, and will adjust training if you want that "type" of obedience, I do suggest if you want to compete you find a good qualified full member club to join, it will be more cost effective.
Are we the dog trainers for you?
I’m going to be completely honest with you so that I don’t waste your time.
It’s important that you hire the best dog trainer for your needs and we are NOT the right dog trainer for everyone.
So let’s work out if we’re going to be a good fit for each other...
We are for you if...
You want your dog to obey your first command.
You want obedience for everyday real life.
You love your dog and think of it as your best friend but understand it is an animal.
You want the dog to walk with you and stop pulling you around.
You have a puppy and want to get off on the best foot so you don't end up with an adult dog with bad behaviors E.g. housebreaking, chewing, nipping, & aggression .
You want your dog to listen to you, instead of completely ignoring you.
You just want control of the dog instead of the dog controlling you.
You're willing to put in the work. You're willing to make the time to train, and exercise your dog.
We are not for you if...
You want someone else to train your dog because you don't have time.
You "only want the dog to come to you when you call it" because it runs loose and isn't really bonded to you & it likes to stay at the neighbors anyway.
You just want a certificate so you could pretend your pet is a service dog because you want to take it everywhere with you.
You want to treat train your dog or use a clicker and expect it to actually listen in real world situations.
You're not a very structured person and you're not willing to change to help your dog be the best it can be.
You will not feel the need to listen to the trainer, and will train how you feel when at home.
You can't take the time to look at the on-line information and videos provided by the courses offered.
You're looking for a cheap trainer, even if it means their inexperienced, and you won't value what we do..
You're not a responsible, committed dog owner who is willing to learn.

"A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL!"
Joe & Sandy Widdifield ~ 2008
Hi Angie,
I wanted to thank you and Jason for the
excellent training Precision K-9 Services offer. When I starting bring
Heidi she wouldn't even respond to a treat. After one class she was
responding to the command without a treat! I made sure that we practiced
each lesson exactly as taught in class. Not only were you giving me the
tools to train Heidi but you were training me as well. By the end of
Heidi's training she is responding to all commands.
Not only do I have a well trained dog but it
has created more of a bond between us. It was well worth all the work we
put in together.
Thanks Again,
Steve Cielec & Heidi

“I just wanted her to come to us in the yard. Now I’ve found a friend and companion. She does lots more than come to me. Thanks Angie”
“ From a person that has never owned a dog; your class has taught me how to properly care for Cole and has taken all the responsibility off of him. He can now enjoy just being himself. Special thanks from both of us Angie!”
