My Doberman Jetta And Her Little Friend Mimi
Hello! I'm Victoria, Nanny 911 For Dogs
I come into your home and restructure how you communicate with, relate to and LIVE with your dog. If you live with your dog properly, setting boundaries, having good communication and a clear, correct relationship, you do not NEED formal training.
I teach dogs to respect people's personal space and calm themselves and look to their owners for direction, exercising self-control, even in exciting situations. This is not dog training. It is behavior modification. Then I teach the owners how to be the leaders. It's not the old-fashioned concept of being the "alpha," but leadership, a quiet strength.
The best place to train your dog is in your home. One basic principle of dog training is to teach the dog in a quiet, familiar environment. Later, when the dog knows how to do what you want, go practice in distracting environments. Trying to train a dog in public is counter-productive as it’s an over-stimulating environment. And do you know who else will learn better in a quiet, familiar environment? YOU!
I teach my students the process of how dogs learn and all the principles and techniques required to teach a dog anything, anytime. It's a 4-5 hour lesson, done in two sessions.
One lesson works or you don't pay! “There is no such thing as a difficult dog, only an inexperienced owner." - Barbara Woodhouse
I do not teach my students or their dogs any “mechanical” behaviors. At the end of the lesson, I ask all my students: "Do you now know how to teach your dog heel, sit, down, stay, come, wait, look at me and go to bed?" and they always say "yes." They have a dog who calms himself and looks to them for direction, and they know all the principles and techniques to teach their dog anything they want.
This foundation is a MUST before attempting behavior modification with aggressive, dominant, anxious or fearful dogs. My lesson also cures common problems: barking, digging, chewing, jumping, terrorizing the cat, going crazy with guests, charging out doors and just being plain ‘ol demanding and pushy. If your dog runs the show in your home, we can change that almost overnight!
With good management and an understanding of, and commitment to, meeting your dog's needs (many people do not even know what a dog's needs ARE), it all falls into place. Sometimes you need just a little help or
I use modern, reward-based, “dog-friendly” methods. (They are non-forceful; I do not bully, scare or manhandle dogs. In fact, I rarely even use a leash.) These methods build a dog's confidence and maintain his spirit, enthusiasm and trust.
I am based in Salem, OR (an hour from Portland) and do in-home dog behavior modification and training lessons from Eugene, OR to Battle Ground, WA.
Live too far away? I also teach this lesson on the phone, directing/coaching you while you work with your dog. Sounds crazy, I know, but I have done it with students from Seattle to Los Angeles. Read my last three student testimonials (and if that's not enough, I can get you more!) and remember:

advice and it's not necessary to make a big production of it. I can help you with housetraining, crate training, separation anxiety, "bringing home baby," stool-eating, puppy/new dog selection and more.
With all my training services, I guarantee your satisfaction! After the lesson, I am there for you, free of charge, for any clarification or coaching you need. I want you and your dog to be successful and to be able to use what I teach you!
