Management: The Crate 

The crate is the easiest, most practical tool to manage a dog in the home, and if there is space for it, in the car.  We see about 6-10 clients every week for basic obedience to problem behaviors such as reactivity.

One of the first questions I ask is:  ‘How often is your dog in the crate?’
​
The answers are mixed between:

• ‘Never’
• ‘We leave the door open and he/she goes in and out on his own’
• ‘only at night’

 So here lies part of the problem. Most dogs view space as a resource.  When we allow dogs too much freedom too soon , they assume it’s theirs to do with what they want. The can guard , bark, destroy, zoom around, pee and just  treat the space like romper room because no one has shown them otherwise.

Here are some reasons you SHOULD be using a crate: ....click to read more

Basic Obedience Class with Teri was amazingly helpful. Benson is so much more attentive, responsive and a joy to work with. I am thrilled with his progress and we're having so much fun continuing the training! ​

Words cannot express how much Javier and I adore Teri. We have taken both private lessons and group classes with her; each has been fun, and effective. Teri is knowledgeable beyond belief, and is a guru of positive reinforcement training methods. She taught me to better communicate with Javier, and as a result he has transformed from a naughty puppy to a well-behaved dog who is full of joy!

I can't say enough about our experience with Ligiro training!   With Teri's warm and patient support, my dog and I not only learned some new tricks and strengthened old skills, we really learned how to communicate with one another. Teri was able to show me how to communicate with my dog so that he understood what I was asking of him, and in turn, I'm more bonded with my best friend. What's more? The love Teri has for dogs, for teaching, and my dog in particular, really shines through, making what could have been a stressful experience truly a joy. Teri - Blue and I can't thank you enough!
Warmly, ​
