Hello! I'm Nathan Kraus, a Professional Dog Trainer. I do the traveling so you don't have to!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I am a Tom Rose School Graduate, who works directly with you and your dog to improve your relationship with one another by establishing commands and problem solving issues you are experiencing. I work with dogs of all ages and breeds and tailor my training to best fit you and your dog.
About Training Your Pup
Positive Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement happens whenever you pet, play, or feed your pup. It encourages your pup to continue doing whatever they're currently doing. It is essentially the Green Light or Road to Success
Corrections
Corrections are tugs on the leash designed not to hurt your pup. This tells your pup to stop doing whatever they are currently doing. It is essentially the Red Light or Guard Rail. Corrections are intended to be used only temporarily and be used less often as time goes on
Combining Both
Combining both of these methods creates an image in the pup's mind of what to do and not to do. It essentially guides your pup to success
Training You the Owner
Half the Battle is Training Ourselves
There is more to Dog Training than just training your dog. Dog Training is also about training you the owner to play these games with your own dog so that they realize these games are not just played when the Dog Trainer is around.
I will work with you to make sure that you understand how and why to use the commands. I will also to help establish good habits for you and your dog. Good Habits like only petting your dog when they are not hopping up on you or your guests.
Free Evaluations
Free Evaluations provide an opportunity for you to meet with me and ask any questions you may have before starting training. It's important to see how your dog acts in their environment with you in order to fully understand the issues that you are experiencing.
​
One of my the biggest enjoyments is being able to meet and play with your dog.
