Hello! My Name is Scott Beckman-The K9-Coach Dog Trainer For Granada Hills, Castaic, Valencia and Stevenson Ranch California.
Being a Dog trainer in Granada Hills, Ca, teaching dog obedience training and behaior training, I  have seen just about every " Bad Dog" scenario you can imagine. Dogs that jump up on guests relentlessly, barking mad, pulling leashes, chewing everything in sight, growling and biting. Dogs that are skittish, to over the top love balls that won't leave you alone. Some dogs aren't bad at all, they just have some manners that need to be addressed like barking at the door bell and potty training. But they all have one common denominator, owners that don't know how to communicate to their dogs. 

"What we have here is failure to communicate"

People try to talk to their dogs and train their dogs like they were little humans. That is where the disconnect begins. Putting a dog on timeout teaches them nothing. Correcting them when they do wrong, showing and guiding them and praising them when they choose to do right is how it works for a dog in a pack setting.
This is what I teach my clients on a daily basis, especially in Granada Hills, Castaic, Stevenson Ranch and the Valencia Areas. Dog obedience training and the art of canine communication. By simply using proper voice tones, good body language and timing, dogs respond extremely quickly. The trick is to train my Stevenson Ranch clients, dogs already know this language. I never hurt dogs or use clickers or treats. Treat training, in my opinion is just a form of bribery in the end. What I strive to create for my clients is a trust- bond relationship with their dogs. For dogs this trust-bond relationship is in the form of leadership. Since dogs are pack animals by nature, it only makes sense that they look for a leader in their own pack. Most people family's in my areas of Granada Hills,Castaic, Valencia and Stevenson Ranch don't have that canine pack leadership thing down as a day to day lifestyle. So their dog just ends up running the household. It's instinct pure and simple. Some of my Granada Hills, Valencia clients feel that is they can get their dog to sit or stay they are leading them, but there is a huge distinction between compliance for a treat and choosing to follow a command out of mutual respect. If you would like to learn more feel free to look around my site, or you can give me a call or email me. I would love to help you and your family with your dogs so that you can also have peace and harmony in your home once again.
