Training tip:
West Los Angeles puppy classes teach the foundation behaviors that
all dogs, from Puggles
to Labradors, need to know. Teach your dog to keep calm and quiet at the
coffee
shop, to walk calmly along the sidewalk, and to be trained to wait at the corner
curbs. Effective dog training should provide information
and techniques that set dogs and owners up for a lifetime of
learning. Dog training from Culver
City to Hollywood.
Los Angeles Dog Trainer's tip for "wait at the curb:" At each
curb, come to a stop, and keep your feet perfectly still for a full two minutes.
Soon, your dog will wait for your foot
to move too, because he notices the cue to
move is your foot moving forward. Contact Bill

Small Dog Expertise!
I understand the unique requirements of house-training small dogs. Over the
years, I have refined house training techniques to address their unique
needs. Take advantage of intelligent methods not found in books or on the
Internet; these sophisticated techniques solve the unique behavior profiles
of Yorkshire Terriers, Silky Terriers, Pugs, Beagles, Puggles, Chihuahuas,
Boston Terriers, French Bull Dogs to name a few.
Rescued dogs
-
Does your dog need house training right
away—yesterday, to be more exact?
-
Was your dog rescued from the West Los Angeles Animal
Shelter? Boundaries and clear communication are needed immediately to
prevent old, unacceptable habits from becoming annoyances, then
problems. Putting off training until your new pup gets “comfortable” or
“settles in” is unwise, as he will not wait for you to provide a road
map. He will forge his own path, and what he first learns will be last
forgotten.
-
Does your dog need house training right
away—yesterday, to be more exact? Does he hold on walks and then
eliminate when you return home?
-
Does your dog become anxious
when you must leave him alone for long periods of time?
-
Do you have energetic young
children and you worry about how safe they are while they’re playing with
your dog?
Are you new to dog ownership ─ overwhelmed by what needs to be done?
I'll take the time with you to create a unique and individualized
in-home training program especially for your dog, no matter what breed
or how old your dog is.
Each training program, will always consider your needs and special
circumstances, whatever they might be:
Individualized, customized
training programs—the same advice doesn’t always work for different dogs in
different households; “one size does not fit all!”
I think it’s safe to say that you love your dog. Besides being adorable,
he's always there for you, tail wagging, eyes bright, ready to give you
unconditional love. Your dog makes you laugh, smile…put simply, our pets are
an important part of your family, of your life, and they need your love and
attention, always.
Which is why it’s harder to accept those times when they start to frustrate
the life out of you. Moments when they become the hardest to deal
with—pulling on their leashes during dog walks…jumping up, barking at, even
snapping at your guests…chewing and ripping up items in your home…breaking
your heart because they’re not housebroken....

2008 is my 23rd year where I've helped improve the behavior of puppies
and dogs in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City,
and Venice. Major improvements that have led to happier, healthier and
better-behaved pets, and more affectionate and loving relationships
between dogs and their owners.
For over 22 years, I’ve personally worked with more than 3,500 dogs, puppies
and their owners as a dog trainer in Los Angeles. Through unique and customized
private dog
training, performed in the convenient and familiar surroundings of your
home, you can soon resolve your dog’s problem behavior and build a more loving and understanding relationship with your pet.
As West Los Angeles veterinarian Steven Ettinger, says:
"Client after client returns with only
the finest compliments about Bill's abilities as a dog trainer of both the dog and
the family.
