Whether you have rescued a new dog, adopted a puppy, have had a dog for years and seeing new issues or behavior that has been around for a long time, it is never too late to set the right expectations for your dog. Your dog should be a polite member of the family that behaves well in all the events of their life. Dogs do not come pre-programmed to know what the rules are. As humans, we need to communicate with our dogs the way they understand and make sure we are setting the tone, providing the leadership and controlling the events that take place each day.  I will teach you how to communicate and establish leadership while being in control of your interactions with your dog, instead of your dog controlling the interactions.  I will provide you insight into dog psychology and give you tools on how to interact differently to optimize your relationship.
