Talk Dog Toledo Dog Training About Us

Talk Dog Toledo is a locally owned dog training company committed to teaching you how to communicate with your dog in their own language using body language and voice commands.  We offer a variety of training options to best suit your needs. 

Our private lessons are done either at our training facility or in your home.  We have a few packages available to meet your individual needs.  In private lessons, we can adjust the training to meet your dogs individual needs. 

If you enjoy getting together with other dog owners, then group classes may be better for you and your dog. Our classes are fun and engaging.  We offer classes to start from a new puppy all the way up to being a community canine!! 

Our Board and Train option is great from someone with a new puppy or dog who just doesn't have the time to commit to training them.  I provide the dog with a jump start to their training program.  Your dog comes and lives with my pack and myself in my home.   They socialize with my dogs while they are here.  We set aside one on one training times twice a day to work on their obedience skills.  When they come home, I show you exactly what your dog learned and how to maintain the training in your home. Our packages offer revisits after the initial training to make sure that your dog is fully understanding that you are the leader and to remain consistent with training.

Here at Talk Dog Toledo Home Dog Training, we are here to teach you Behavioral Modification not just Obedience Training.  We teach you to understand how your dog thinks using the ways that dogs learn from each other. Dogs communicate using body language and voice tones.  Most importantly it is not about causing fear in your dog if they do wrong, but being a fair and trusted leader and teaching your dog to think on their own and make the right choices. 

A lot of the behaviors that Talk Dog Toledo gets called upon to train are acceptable in the canine world.   The leader guides the other dogs around (pulling on the leash, rushing past us on stairs and out doorways, etc.), the most confident dog decides when it is time to do things (when to play, eat, interact, sleep, etc.), they control the den (jumping on people coming in, grabbing their hands to guide them to what they want, etc.), they mark their territory (peeing on perimeter of yard, or out on a walk, on a bag of food, anything that they think is theirs).  These are all things that your dog thinks are the way that he/she should be acting but in the human world are unacceptable and we want under control. 

Talk Dog Toledo teaches you how set boundaries that you can use in your everyday life to communicate with your dog what is acceptable and not.  Your everyday interactions are the times that your dog tries to gain control of the house; by jumping, mouthing, barking at you and just demanding certain interactions. Your dog will feel more secure and comfortable with you knowing what to expect and learn to follow your leadership. 

We do not specialize in one breed, puppies or adult, or small or large dogs.  We handle all dogs, all breeds, all sizes and all behavioral problems from obedience to aggression. INCLUDING YOURS!!!   We have success with over 3,500 dogs in Toledo and the surrounding areas. We focus on teaching YOU what I know so you can be the best leader that YOU can be. 

When we meet, Talk Dog Toledo customizes our training program to suit you and your dogs' needs.  There is no cookie cutter approach to dog training here.  We are here to be your coach and mentor though the training process.  Lets figure out which program is the best fit for you and we can start to teach you how to TALK DOG!
