Training and Behavior

TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR COUNSELING

Does your dog have issues?
Does your dog listen to you some of the time?
Do you wish you had a better bond with your dog?

PARTNERS! has had years of experience and thousands of successful outcomes to these and other doggie dilemmas:

Pulling on the leash
Jumping
House-soiling
Destructive behavior/chewing
Not coming when called
Play biting
Over-excitability
Will not stay
Excessive barking
Separation Anxiety
Excessive fear
Aggression, including dominance, possession, food and dog-to-dog

Through our founder, Melissa Behleda, PARTNERS! offers behavior and training assistance throughout the Boone, NC, area. Training is positive-reinforcement based and teaches owners and dogs how to communicate effectively and understand each others’ “language”. Handlers receive instruction on critical skills needed to be good, responsible dog owners and caregivers and the dogs learn all of the basics from sitting quietly for petting to the formal recall. AND we all have fun doing it!

If you are having doggie dilemmas, PLEASE do not give up hope! Many behavior and training issues can be addressed in just one session! If you are interested in either personal or group training or private behavior assistance, please contact Melissa Behleda at partnerscanines@yahoo.com for scheduling information and rates.

All proceeds raised from our training and behavior sessions are used to get healthy, happy, homeless dogs and puppies to places where they will find great new forever homes!!
