The Baskerville Ultra muzzle (pictured) is the one that we recommend for most dogs. It's lightweight, padded and allows your dog to open their mouth, drink and take small treats. It also has two safety straps that make it very hard for your dog to remove it. You can purchase these at your local pet supply store or online. Be very careful with sizing your dog. If you have a dog with a very short nose they require a muzzle specifically designed for them. Please call for recommendations

We also offer electronic collar training (also know as e collar or remote collar). This training is offered as a 4 session package since mastering the e collar is not a one-session skill. While e collar training is not for every owner and every dog, many owners have issues that are best resolved with this collar system. Unlike the 'shock collars" of the past, remote collars do not shock your dog. The collar has state-of-the-art technology, using low level frequency to communicate with your dog--much like a tingling sensation. It's similar to the technology that is used in the medical field to relax muscles. Using this very effective form of communication allows you to interact with your dog on a closer level. Almost like a tap on the shoulder, you can 'talk' to your dog in a way that makes training progress quickly, yet safely and effectively. During this training, your dog will learn how to be "calm on command" as the foundation of it's training program. Your dog will also learn to consistently come when called. We can also address any other behavioral issues that your dog might be having such as digging, stealing food off counters, jumping and nuisance barking.
Keep in mind that extra sessions may be needed if there are several issues.
We use a top-of-the-line, remote collar system- the ET300 Mini Educator click here for more information

ET300 Mini Educator System

Understanding Your Dog's Body Language
Custom In-Home Dog Training
A dog's head tilt is kryptonite to our superman. But did you know your dog is using body language every day as their form of communication? They use their bodies to "talk" with us and other dogs around them. During this session you'll learn how to read your dog's body language. For instance, you'll be able to remove your dog from situations that cause them stress before they potentially become aggressive or reactive.
approx 1 hour @ $105 (plus travel fee)
There comes a time in many dog's lives where they have to have a medical or emergency procedure that they don't like. It's a good idea to have your own comfortable muzzle that your dog is familiar with wearing. This way they do not have to suffer additional anxiety and fear by having never worn a muzzle which many vets will use--especially with the larger, more powerful breeds. During this session we will teach your dog how to wear a muzzle using a stress free technique.
approx 1 hour @ $105 (plus travel fee)

ELECTRONIC COLLAR TRAINING PACKAGE
This session is for any age dog
including puppies 8 weeks and older
Each dog is different and deserves a training program that is as unique as they are. Our goal is that your dog will be calm, well mannered, consistently listen to you and be an asset to your family and home.
A significant portion of this session is about you, the owner, because so much of changing our dog is changing ourselves first and making sure the training keeps going after the professional trainer leaves. At this session we will address common issues such as jumping, hyper activity, barking, anxiety or any specific behavioral issues you are facing. You will have homework at the end of this session. If we we are not able to address all issues during this session then follow up sessions will be scheduled.
If you have a puppy, we will cover the most common issues such as nipping, housebreaking and crate training as well as any specific issues that you are facing with your particular puppy.
We do not sell training packages as we do not know ahead of time how much training your dog will need. Plus we want to respect and fit into individual budgets. We will work together to determine how many follow up sessions you need as your training progresses.
You'll have support from us by phone, text or email after your session. You are never bugging us!
Any recommended training equipment, such as training collars, is not included in the price. This training does not involve the use of the electronic collar.
Approximately 2 hours in length @ $175

Most dogs need an hour a day of aerobic exercise. While going on a walk or throwing a ball is the best exercise, getting our dogs outside is not always feasible for many owners. Daylight is short and temperatures can be dangerous for some dogs and owners due to age, disabilities and a myriad of other legitimate reasons. One way to help your dog get the exercise it needs is to train it to jog on a treadmill. At Love Your K9 we can train your dog to enjoy using a treadmill safely on those days when Mother Nature is doing her best to freeze us all.
approx 1 hour @ $105 (plus travel fee)- multiple sessions may be required
