Why don't you teach the "Stay" command?
The "stay" command actually isn't really necessary.  It's just an extra step.  If you ask your dog to sit, you
really should want him to sit for as long as you need him to.  Not just sit and pop back up. So when you say
"sit", your dog will sit until you release him, automatically.

W
e find this to be clearer to the dog than the difference between "sit" and "sit, stay" would be.  
What is the "Place" command and why is it useful?
The "place" command is used to teach a dog to go to a certain spot.  It can be
one particular spot in the house where the dog should go and sit or lay down; or
it can be a spot in each room so you will have the dog with you but not in your
way.  It can be any object, as long as your dog knows what you are pointing to.  
A pillow, a towel, a bed, a newspaper, a napkin...  Anything the dog knows you
are referring to.

Most owners just want one spot in the house where the dog can be with the
family but not underfoot.  It is essentially a crate or playpen with no walls.

It's great for any situation in the house, such as when guests are visiting.  It's a
form of boundary training for the dog and has many practical uses.

What are some things that make DTU different than most trainers in the area?
We are dedicated and experienced in helping dogs become the kind of family members their owners can happily
live with.  We have saved MANY dogs from being given to shelters or being put down.  We completely enjoy
what we do, and because of that always want to make sure that families we work with get the best.  We don't
limit our attention to you by only having group classes.  We don't limit the number of private lessons you can
have with us.  You never have to pay more for more help.  Everything is included in the programs so that you
know you will never have to spend anything else on dog training for your dog ever again.

We have f
ive different programs to choose from (three of them are listed on our programs page!).  We always
provide ongoing support, in case there are things that you and you dog need to brush up on.  We teach you
and your family, not just your dog, so ongoing maintenance will be simple while we aren't physically there and
your dog will listen to you all as well as your dog listens to us.  And we
GUARANTEE our training will work,
which is very uncommon!

Our methods are gentle, humane and motivational for every dog.  Dogs learn very quickly and are very happy
that they understand exactly what you expect of them.  Our training approach is very practical and easy to
implement.  Our methods really work, in the real world and in everyday life.
 We make sure your dog is reliable
at all times, even without treats, without a leash and without corrections or shock collars.
