Dog Training

Positive Reinforcement Training

Only humane dog training techniques are used. Clicking, praise, treats and toys are the rewards, no "old fashion" techniques used. Consistent positive reinforcement training establishes confidence & builds a relationship of trust and bonding between dogs and their humans.

Obedience - Basic commands are either introduced or re-enforced for a reliable response.

Behavior Modification - With proper techniques and establishing a customized program, issues can be managed and dealt with in a positive method. This will keep your training and relationship with your pet on the right paw!

MURPHY'S STORY

I am writing this recommendation for Kat Caruso and her company Lots of Luv 'N Pet Care LLC with extreme appreciation. Kat began working with my four year old Labrador retriever, Murphy last winter. Due to health problems, I could not work with him enough and I was having problems controlling some of his wild behavior. Kat picked him up at my house and worked with him three times a week. I could tell right away that Murphy really liked her and that she was, like me, a dog person (a person that dogs sense naturally belongs with them and poses absolutely no threat). I would be shocked if any animal did not like her. One of my nicknames for Murphy is Mister Twister because he can be a wild squirming crazy man sometimes and I was, at first, somewhat surprised that Kat had no problem controlling him (he can be a real handful). Her training methods were gentle and instead of punishment and admonishment I was pleased to see her use positive reinforcement. And, while she ignored his bad behavior and refused to acknowledge it, her positive reinforcement paid off. It took a little while (Murphy's a hard case) but after a month or so he became a much improved dog. His performance on a leash and his response to commands improved drastically and, most of all, he became much calmer (thank God).

In the Spring I became quite ill and was hospitalized for five long months, far away from Colorado and my dog Murph. Kat took Murphy into her home, boarded him, cared for him, worked/trained him, put up with all of the separation trauma he went through, and loved him the whole time I was away. I do not know anyone else (not a vet, a kennel, friends, or even members of my family) I could have called on who would or could have done this. She sent me letters and pictures and kept me updated while I was away.

When I finally was able to return home and went to pick Murphy up, I found him in absolutely perfect health. Kat had put him on a special diet (Flint River and natural organic bones). He was trim, in shape, and most of all, he was his same old happy self. I was so glad to see him again!

So, I firmly believe that if you have any sort of pet care needs or problems, Kat can certainly help you out.

A very satisfied dog owner,
