Simpawtico Dog Training

Hi Sarah. That's Resource Guarding, very common amongst Rotties. They tend to have elevated likelihood—it doesn't make them bad, we just need to help them see it's not a problem. So, start with our Resource Guarding PDF, which is free on our website: https://www.simpawtico-training.com/learning/downloadables/ Then, you may want to develop things like Leave It and Drop It if you haven't already. Leave It you can start very easily and we have a video for that on our YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Dt9sQDP3q50 Drop It is best taught while playing Tug, and there's a free resource for that on that same downloads page on the website. Beyond that, if you need further help, you may want to set up a consultation with us. We can do in-studio or in-home if you're local; we can also do over Zoom if you live somewhere far from us. You can book right from the website! GOOD LUCK!

Simpatico is a wonderful dog training facility. If you are unable to attend the actual training classes Ian Stone has You Tube videos and various class options that may meet your needs. No behavior is too big or unique for Ian. He is currently the trainer of our 2nd golden retriever, 6 month old - Cooper.

Hi Emma. Thanks for reaching out! We can do all the requisite training in preparation for certification, but we do not do the actual testing. We have evaluators we work with that we can help you get something arranged with, if you choose to work with us.

Hi Kathleen. That's a progressive, behavioral conundrum to unravel. Depending on how severe it is, that's something that may take daily work to address effectively. Definitely get hooked up with a local pro to help you with that. If you're local to us, schedule on our website. If you're out of our area, use the search on the IAABC's website to find a consultant local to you: https://m.iaabc.org/

Hi Toni. Thanks for your question. Currently In-Home training is only offered on a case-by-case basis, and only for behavior problems such as aggression or reactivity. We are not offering any in-home work for manners or obedience. If this sounds like it fits the bill for you, feel free to reach out with more details!

Honestly, the best thing is management. Don't let your dog have access to the couch unsupervised.

Hi Katie. Yes, we do work with aggressive dogs. Head on over to our website to see which private training option might be right for you: http://www.simpawtico-training.com/private-training/

I also have two puppies! Ian has been life changing for me and my pups. His videos are also very helpful!

Community answer · Jacqueline Czwojdak · 2019-09-21

Or e-mai him directly. He's an awesome person too!

Community answer · Ed Riker · 2019-09-21

Ian is the best. He does have some great videos you may want to check out

Community answer · Jamie Wirick · 2019-09-21

Possibly search you tube simpawtico to see if Ian has any suggestions. He is an awesome trainer.

Hi Greg, That's awfully far away! We certainly don't travel that far for business, and I haven't been there for pleasure in over ten years. We do have distance consulting if you need help: http://www.simpawtico-training.com/distance-training/

Hi Kirby. I don't have a video on that, but we do have a PDF on our website that covers that: http://www.simpawtico-training.com/learning/downloadables/ Hope it's helpful!
