Individual Consultation

Dee is a dog trainer and behavior consultant for you and your four-footed friend available to teach you to be the best leader your dog could have! You can help your dog to be the best by teaching basic manners like walking on a loose leash, sit for greeting, recalls from distractions, walking past other dogs and people calmly and quietly.

Behavior problem solving and difficult dogs are my specialty including feisty Fido’s reactive dogs, the nervous Nellie shy dogs, deaf dogs, small dogs with big attitudes, dogs with separation anxiety, fearful aggressiveness and so much more.

“How do we earn our dog’s friendship and cooperation?“

Through attentive MANAGEMENT and do?” consistent POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. Do you want your dog to love to “come”, sit and down walk on a loose lead past other dogs and people? Join these classes and learn the training techniques of positive reinforcement. Use these methods and your dog will want to train because you’ll be rewarding him for being right. No more pushing, pulling or jerking! You’ll learn the proper use of clicker training – a method developed to “tell” your dog precisely what he needs to do to be rewarded with food, play and praise.

Learn to manage your dog positively!

“Choosing Your Dog Consultation”

Dee is available to go with you to pick out your new four-footed friend or just sit down and talk with you (and your family) about how to select your next best friend. For more information visit: Choosing A Puppy.

Dee is a skilled listener and a thoughtful person who takes in all that is around her but does not force her views. She has clear opinions and is secure about them but also open minded and appropriate about sharing with others…I feel her assets include: a strong and varied background in all phases of dog care, ownership, behavior and training; established connections and acceptance as a leader in the sheltering and dog communities; …her thirst for new knowledge and willingness to evolve professionally; her calm and clear leadership skills; and emotional stability. “Dana Crevling, Instructors Training Course, Dogs Of Course

Dee Ganley is an inspiration. During the week I was there, I got to observe Dee’s teaching, which was professional, organized, compassionate, creative, and fun.” Donna Duford, Director, The PET Project San Francisco Animal Care and Control
