The founder of C.M. Academy of Dog Training, Jim Stenfeldt, has over 30 years of experience of training dogs and educating owners.
We don't dictate, We educate
New for 2008
Puppy Primer Course: We review crate training, nipping, nail trimming, barking, and proper introduction to a leash. Studies prove that puppies that participate in a group class by 12 weeks of age learn a lifetime of social skills.
It's easier to build a puppy --- than to fix a dog!
Rally Obedience: Participate in the fastest growing sport in the dog world. Proficiency in advanced obedience is required.
Dog Park Play: Use of a PRIVATE DOG PARK is available for members only. Yearly behavior evaluations are mandatory and must be performed prior to use of the park. Dog aggression will be handled privately. Basic requirements include yearly fecal, all shots, including lepto and kennel cough, and flea and tick prevention.
Ongoing courses 2008

******************************************************************
We believe that there is not one method that works on all dogs. We will educate you about the pros and cons of all dog training methods available like; Halte, Martingale, Clickers, Scruffy Dog Trainer, Gentle Leader, Choker, Prong Collar, British Slip Lead, and E-Collar Training.
We encourage you to use what works for your breed and what makes you comfortable, We run class, and you choose the method you want to use. We steer away from the cookie cutter approach to dog training.
Our goal is to EDUCATE and to promote LEARNING
CLICKER TRAINING
We are testing the market for a class in trick training using a clicker, shaping and luring. Go to www,dogbuilders.com if you are interested.

When screening your trainer ask: how many dogs they have trained, how many different breeds, how many years as a professional, and how many different training methods they utilize. |
