Karma Dog Training: Home
Before you can choose an actual dog trainer, I believe you must first decide what kind of bond you want to establish with your dog. Do you want a relationship based on Intimidation and Force or would you like one based on Cooperation and Trust? Do you want to use Pain to get your dog to listen to you or would you rather use Pleasure? Choke chains or Cookies? It really is a choice. To take it a step further, I truly believe every single one of us raising dogs today share an incredible responsibility in determining how our dogs will view their world. Will they see through the eyes of fear or through the eyes of love? The latter is only possible with a process of training and interacting with your dog that uplifts his spirit rather than tears it down. Both techniques will produce the results you want, however, only one method will feel right in your heart.

Karma Dog Training offers comprehensive and affordable dog training programs for puppies through adults, and works with all breeds from chihuahuas to pit bulls. In our Hill Crest puppy training classes, we cover the entire puppy training essentials from potty training to walking nicely on a leash. We also go over all the puppy basics such as chewing, nipping, jumping and barking, not just housetraining. In addition, our Hill Crest puppy kindergarten and puppy socialization classes cover all aspects of basic dog obedience with Karma Dog Training's "7 Requests for Success" and the "7 Steps to Become your Dog's Alpha Angel."
In our Hill Crest basic obedience training classes, we cover all aspects of basic obedience dog training using a combination of hand signals and voice cues. We do not teach with harsh corrections. Our Hill Crest basic obedience dog training class is identical to our Hill Crest puppy kindergarten and socialization class, except it is tailored for dogs 6 months of age and up and is taught on leash. We offer reduced pricing for clients with rescue dogs and dogs adopted from any of the Hill Crest shelters.
In our Hill Crest private dog training sessions, and during our private dog coaching sessions, we cover all aspects of basic dog obedience as well as dog behavior modification. Basic dog obedience is where we train in a new behavior. Dog behavior modification is where we change an existing dog behavior. This includes but is not limited to training in or modifying leash etiquette, chewing, resource guarding, barking, separation anxiety, leash lunging, leash aggression, dog-on-dog aggression and dog to human aggression.
At Karma Dog Training, it's our belief that when choosing a puppy trainer or dog trainer it's important to choose the Hill Crest dog training School that shares your values, and that will recognize your dog's innate right to be taught with patience, love and respect. This is precisely the reason why Karma Dog Training's gentle and enlightened approach to dog training appeals to hundreds of Hill Crest puppy and dog owners each year.
If you are calling around to other Hill Crest dog trainers or have tried other dog trainers only to be turned off to the idea of training your dog, please consider that you and your dog may just need a different approach. A dog trainer who simply sees your dog as just a dog, may not always be able to help because they are only trained to evaluate your dog's behavior, as opposed to seeing your dog from a holistic perspective.
Karma Dog Training's staff of professional dog trainers and behavior specialists are not only trained to understand basic obedience training and how to prevent and manage dog behavior problems, but we also understand that your dog is a soul, just like you and I. This allows us to get to the root of the psychological and spiritual aspects of any behavior problem. In addition, in all of our Hill Crest puppy kindergarten and dog training classes, we're able to give you a greater understanding of your dog's behavioral obstacles and how they originated. We then provide you with many practical applications on how to overcome them turning them from potential negative experiences into positive healing opportunities.
When you sign up for any one of our Hill Crest puppy training or basic obedience classes in the Hill Crest area, in addition to receiving excellent instruction in class, you will also be given the user name and password to the online Karma Dog Training Educational Center. It is here where you can download all of the essential Karma Dog Training course materials in an easy to access PDF format. This password protected part of the website is only made available to our registered puppy kindergarten and dog training clients. As a Karma Dog Training client, you'll also learn how to maintain your dog's progress after training has finished by understanding and implementing: Karma Dog Training's "5 in 5" Easy Maintenance Schedule, how to substitute using training treats for "Real Life Rewards", how to turn your morning dog walk into your "Meditation Walk" and how to master our "Training with Tranquility" Ritual.
At Karma Dog Training, when it comes to focusing and treating more serious dog-behavioral issues such as leash lunging, leash aggression, dog-on-dog aggression, separation anxiety and dog-on-human aggression, our staff of Hill Crest dog behaviorists and Hill Crest dog trainers will always try and obtain as much information on the history of your dog as possible and if appropriate, then schedule an initial in-home evaluation. If we feel we are unable to help you for whatever reason, we will guide you in the right direction of a dog training professional who can. In certain cases, we can also assist you in the rehoming process. There are many dog trainers in the Hill Crest area that may not have the experience or aptitude dealing with aggressive dogs. That is okay. Dog aggression and dog anxiety cases are not for every dog trainer. At Karma Dog Training, our dog behaviorists and dog trainers will not advise euthanasia for aggressive dogs if there are alternative choices that should be considered first. If you find yourself with an aggressive dog, please call us to discuss your options rather than just dropping your dog off at the shelter.
