"DOG! hear me out!"

Over years and hundred of dogs I trained, I have noticed that a strong engagement between a dog and his owner is a missing puzzle that creates a struggle for people to teach their pup any further skill. That means that almost in any outdoor situation your struggle to get your dog’s attention. They just don’t see you and don’t hear you. Sounds familiar?

Maryna is very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about dog training. She helps owners better engage with their dogs using a language that dogs know (treats and positive reinforcement). My dog Ori and I took her group classes which focused on improving Ori’s attention and engagement with me. Each week there was one topic we focused on that built upon the previous lessons and Maryna gave us homework each week. Ori is fearful when it comes to strangers or other dogs causing her to bark at them. She is still learning but Ori has noticeably improved and will continue to improve as long as I follow the lessons, tips, and skills Maryna provided us. I also appreciate the effort Maryna puts into her social media presence. She gives tips and examples which is really helpful. I would definitely recommend taking lessons from Maryna at Greta’s dog training.

Both my dog and I learned so much during the group class! Maryna explains everything very well and shows how to succeed step-by-step. Now I know how to get my dog’s attention in hard situations, which is incredibly valuable. Highly recommend!!

A strong engagement plays a huge part in such skills like responding to recall, overcoming excitement, learning to ignore distractions, greeting manners and just listen and be able to hear you out.

You name any skill or behavior and I will tell you that you need, first, a “strong engagement” with your pup.

Our program includes:

  1. forming and developing a skill to engage with you on a cue (2 classes);
  2. greeting manners “dog to dog” on a leash (1 class);

  4. applying learned material into a real-life situation (1 class).

Hurry up to reserve your spot by clicking “filling the form”. We will be reaching out to you to confirm your spot. 

What will I learn? If this is your first time working with Gretta’s Dog Training and me, you will learn a ton. Besides teaching what to do, I like to explain why. That helps to understand dog’s perception, what motivates them and how to affect it.

You will learn how to teach your dog to:

  1. get engaged on a cue;
  2. get better at ignoring distractions;
  3. walk nicely on a leash;
  4. greet people politely;
  5. to stop and/or redirect excitement or frustration into engagement, etc. (this is where majority dogs start to form and develop reactive behaviors).

Why you might want to consider “Private in home sessions” or “Day training”? If your dog already has built up a strong barking habit at dogs or people or is fearful of them (growls or lunges at them; or shuts down and completely ignores you), I recommend considering private sessions. If you are not sure how to properly evaluate your dog, let me know and I will help you. Email me to grettasdogtraining@gmail.com or send a text to (872) 985 3830
