TheTreat Dog Training
Not Your Average Puppy Training Class
Start Training Your New Dog
Jennifer Echols
TheTreat Trainer
Hi! I approach training with three main objectives: keep it fun, keep it positive, and keep it going!
Keep it fun: I view training as something you want to do in order to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Dogs view training as 'play time', a way to impress you, and a nice break in their day; I would like to set you up to think that way too.
Keep it positive: Backed by experience and research, I believe the most effective way to train and shape behavior is by rewarding good behavior. I remind owners to find opportunities to set the dog up to be comfortable and perform the behavior that you want.
Keep it going: Training a dog is a lifelong commitment. My goal is for owners to view training as fun and positive so they feel like there is always time to work on new skills and refine the basics.
My goal is to provide dog owners with the tools they need to feel positive, knowledgable and confident about dog ownership.

COVID-19 UPDATE
This is an exciting and fulfilling time to have dogs in the home. TheTreat is able to provide personalized, attentive and responsive training with a few minor changes to the training experience.
Clients have a choice to complete training sessions virtually or in-person
In-person training sessions:
-Sessions will be held outside
- Every member participating must be wearing a mask for the duration of the session
- If any family member is feeling ill or has been exposed to COVID-19, the training session must be rescheduled for a later date
New Cancellation Policy:
I have temporarily updated my cancellation policy to accommodate the changing weather, clients' schedules and COVID-19 stress.
Please notify me at least one hour before our scheduled session if you would like to reschedule.
Thank you,
Jennifer
