Training and Consulting Services

Sentinel Pet Care is more than just your dog walker and pet sitter. With over 30 years experience caring for and training companion animals, we offer our clients a unique combination of experience and service that you won’t find anywhere else. We’ve helped our clients resolve behavioral issues, understand how their dogs think, and consulted with our clients about proper nutrition, healthy pet food choices and healthcare solutions. If you’re an active client you’ve probably already taken advantage of these services. For those of you who don’t need our pet sitting or dog walking services, here are some of the things we can help you resolve with one-on-one training or consulting.
Dog Training and Behavior

By using positive energy and techniques, we don’t teach parlor tricks, we don’t use clickers and bribery, we actually teach our clients the fundamentals of how to understand their dogs, understand pack behavior and dynamics, and we get to the actual root of problems rather than treating symptoms. We teach our clients how their dog thinks. Here are a few of the typical issues we see that we can help you resolve:

  • critical things you need to know to get your new puppy off to the right start
  • crate training/”house breaking”, soiling in the house
  • leash training and proper and safe handling techniques
  • what is your dog thinking?
  • pack mentality and why you must understand it
  • how to have a healthy, balanced relationship with your dog
  • anxious behaviors
  • not following commands
  • how to get your dog to trust and respect you
  • and more…

In each session we will focus not only on resolving your current issue, but we will go much deeper to the foundation of the problem and teach you how to understand your dog and how to think like a dog so that as you encounter new challenges, you’ll be prepared to handle them and understand why. Most people try to resolve behavior issues by using either bribery (clickers and treats) or by attempting to project human psychology onto their pet. Since you’re reading this, you have probably figured out that both of these methods do not work. We’ll help you cut through the pop-culture dog-think and right to the heart of the issues and inside your dog’s head. Each training session is one-on-one, at your home so we can focus on your specific issues and to be sure that you walk away having a completely new understanding of your dog and a new degree of control over every situation.
