At New Dogs – Old Trix, our dog training approach starts with an initial evaluation.  Our initial evaluation will help you decide which training program is right for you and your dog.

As a guest in my home, your precious pooch will live in a comfy, climate controlled, smoke-free, snake proofed, safe environment. Training takes place throughout the day in short and easy to understand sessions. In addition, your dog will get a minimum of 2 daily training pack walks. These walks help to drain excess energy, foster socialization, and teach on- and off-leash skills under real life circumstances.

Healthy treats are provided to encourage good behavior without adding pounds.

In order to achieve maximum results in the shortest period of time, I work with one trainee at a time. Your pup will receive all the individualized attention necessary for a stellar result in the least amount of time.

Rattlesnake

Rattlesnake Avoidance  Clinics – March thru September.

Please call 520-886-6357 for exact dates, times and location.

$120 with free annual rechecks.

The following structured packages are customized to you and your dog.  During Board & Train, I take the first week to lay the foundation with your dog.  After that, transition lessons with owners begin.  Owners are invited to participate as much as they are able in the training process.  I also provide additional follow-up sessions  with all programs.

Once a dog has successfully gone through our program, they are eligible to participate in our weekly Sunday morning pack walks free of charge, as well as, our Reid Park outings usually held on Wednesday evening.

Training is guaranteed for the life of your dog.

We recognize that competent, professional training is not an inexpensive proposition.  Our normal practice is to divide the total into 3 equal payments:  Deposit, Drop-off, and Pick-Up.  If more time is required to pay the full amount, arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.

Initial Evaluation

All dogs will have an initial evaluation. This meet & greet gives us all a chance to determine which program best suits your goals based on my observations of your dog’s current levels of behavior.

Evaluation is $75.  The Fee is credited back when you sign up for any Board & Train program.

21 Day Board & Train

Our most popular dog training program is our 21 day Board & Train. We teach all basic obedience behaviors, walking on and off-leash, reliable recall, socialization & manners, how to live indoors with humans, as well as, working on specific problem issues. Our students go out in public places to practice and master newly learned skills under real-life distractions and temptations.

28 Day Board & Train

Our 28-day dog training program is appealing to owners whose dogs’ needs involve more complex training issues.  This program is recommended for dogs who are highly fearful, timid, or aggressive.

Boarding Only

When space allows, this service is available to former “students” while owners are away. A non-refundable deposit of 1/3 of the total will be due upon booking to hold the dates.

Book early, they just love to come back!!!

When you entrust New Dogs – Old Trix to train your canine companion, you can expect and rely on:

Owner-Oriented Protocol – As much as we love our dogs, the bottom line is that they need to acclimate to the realities of our daily lives as we do our best to fulfill their primal needs. Understanding these needs and implementing an effective and long-lasting training regime can pose difficult challenges to new owners. Your dog doesn’t have to sacrifice a great of quality of life in exchange for a loving home.  New Dogs – Old Trix will build a training protocol to accommodate the daily needs of your routine while fulfilling the needs of your dog. Together, we’ll find the way.

Documentation – While under my watchful eye, I will document and share with you all aspects of your dog’s behavior and response triggers. During the training process, dogs share important information that the owner can build on once training is complete. I’ll make sure you recognize these signals and teach you how to reinforce them.

Follow up – There is nothing more exhilarating than to see a dog progress and succeed. That’s why it’s so important to include owners every step of the way and provide follow-up sessions as needed. It’s all part of the guarantee I provide for the life of your dog.

She really cares for animals.

The difference before and after training was night and day. They come when called, don’t jump on people, get along with other dogs and in general are a lot nicer to be with. I highly recommend Susan. Her dogs are all rescue dogs. She really cares for animals. She is also a certified dog trainer. We are extremely satisfied with the results.

Huey is doing really well.

Susan trained my dog to walk off-leash and wait until told to come. She also trained him not to jump on people and to be obedient. Huey is doing really well. I am very pleased with the way Susan has trained him.
