About A Whole New Dog

<h2>Private training for the family dog, on a rural Earlville property</h2>

<p>A Whole New Dog is Eileen Balcom-Vetillo's private-training practice, and the site is unambiguous about its focus: she "specializes in private training for the family dog," offering one-on-one work "with an emphasis on promoting better communication between you and your dog." The site describes learning to speak "Doglish" as the route to a safe and happy life together. Training happens either in your home or at her facility, which the site says sits on over 30 acres of woods and pastures.</p>

<h3>Background the site lists</h3>

<p>The about page credits Eileen as a graduate of Robin MacFarlane's E-cademy Trainer's School, of Behesha Doan's Extreme K-9 canine behavioral psychology academy, and of Michael Ellis's The Principles of Dog Training Course. She is described as a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, and as currently mentoring with Mary Mazzeri of Care Dog Training, whom the page names as an IACP co-founder. The page also lists a long roster of workshop and seminar instructors she has studied under, and names her as an honorary consultant to a researcher at the University of Saskatchewan.</p>

<h3>Programs</h3>

<p>Four named programs are listed: New Puppy Coaching, which the site calls its number-one recommendation for a new puppy; the Good Dog Program, described as foundation work toward on-leash and off-leash reliability; In-Home Teamwork; and residency options – the Stay and Learn Program and the A Whole New Dog Residency, where the dog lives in the trainer's home. The site describes the residency route as the one to choose when life is too busy to build the foundation yourself.</p>
