Hello Debbie, I have a friend who may be looking to give a good home to a dog. She lost her little dog about a year ago. She would provide probably 2 walks a day . I think she would take a training class. Should I give her your contact info ?

Yes, go ahead and I will visit with her. I have dog who is looking for a new home. Debi

Question on Google
After completing the training, does the pet owner continue to use a clicker, or is that just during the training process? thanks!

The clicker and treats are faded as the cue is added to the behavior. They are used in the learning process.

Question on Google
Hello, What is the average fee for training a German Shepard for obedience to home protection?

I can't give a specific price answer to this question as it depends on the rate of learning, the age/background experience of the dog, time spent training, effectiveness/ consistency of the owner doing the training, etc of the dog. Also, I don't do home protection training.

We met Debbie for the first time and we love her. We will be using her service to train our dog. Actually, she will be training us.

I took a 9 month old lab that I rescued to the Family Dog Manners class. Debi's knowledge, training techniques and advice is invaluable! The pup is doing so much better in her training & behaviors. As an owner I've learned a ton in how to better train and understand the pup. I would highly recommend Debi & her services to anyone.

I contacted Anything’s Pawsable Dog Training after I saw her on Facebook. We “rescued” a year old malnourished German Shepard/lab and had her for about 6 months before we found Anything’s Pawsable. We traveled 500 miles for the training because there’s nothing available in eastern Montana. Once Sage gained her weight and got her energy, she was more than we could handle and control. Deb agreed to work with us every day for a week so that we could get on track with her. Well, Deb did more training of us rather than the dog! 😂 We learned that she didn’t know her own name, that our responses to her energy were wrong and that we had the wrong kind of leash. She now responds when we call her (except when there are cats involved), my husband uses a whistle to get her to come, I am more in control of her, and she is really part of our family. There is still a lot of work we need to do with her but Deb gave us lots of good training papers and resources to go to so that we can work with her. And now I cringe when I see other people with their young dogs yelling at them and jerking them around on their leashes. Thanks, Deb!

Debi is a graduate of the prestigious Karen Pryor Institute. She trains, not just dogs, but pet owners on how to work with their dogs to achieve the desired behavior

Deb is amazing. Her classes are affordable, thoughtful and easy to understand. She really helped me understand my dog. I highly recommend her services. Bot my dog and myself are better for it. Thank you Deb!
