Pawtience Dog Training
Hello,my name is Nicole Schmitt and I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer.
My certification, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.
CLASSES
Sit.Stay.Good Dog
Free Puppy Social:
Puppys Socializing is the most important in a dogs life. Bring your puppy to play with other puppys. I also introduce things and sounds gently so the pupp gets used to it unconsciously and will not fear those things later.
Puppy School:
At the age of 12 weeks we are starting to teach your puppy how to already focus, sit, come, walk on loose leash, how to stop mouthing and get him house trained quickly. Explained will be also how to solve several behaviour issus rapidly. It is still very imortant to continue introducing the puppy to new things like taking him to public places and grooming etc.
Drop in - Group Class :
Saturdays at 10.30 am and Mondays at 8pm.
Open Group Classes for Dogs older than 6 months gives you the opportunity to be more flexible. You only pay for the class you are joining. It also gives me the opportunity to teach more individually.

Creating Lasting Friendship
I believe that Obedience Training is necessary but having a good relationship with your dog is just as important. In order to get desired behaviours you need to understand your dog as well. Many dog behaviours are actually natural to a dog, that's why I call them 'Unwanted Behaviours' such as jumping up, barking, pulling on leash or digging.
I care about the dogs needs as much as I care about your expectations. My focus is to assess the dog properly, to understand the cause of the behaviour in order to deal with his specific needs. I am not only treating the symptoms, there is always a cause!
Dogs also need to be mentally stimulated. Frustration is easily created if a dog is not challenged or misunderstood. The positive side effect of mental training and gemeinsame activit'tene is that you create a reliable friendship.
