About Daiges Dogs

Daiges Dogs in East Hampton

Daiges Dogs is an East Hampton dog training business led by a Certified Dog Trainer (CPDT) who also works as a canine behaviorist. Training draws on operant conditioning, handler/dog communication and tailored techniques, and behavior work focuses on "positive reinforcement, threshold work, and structured leadership" to address reactivity, fear, aggression and other issues.

Board and train

The main offer is board and train. The four- or six-week Basic Board & Train covers foundation obedience (sit, down, place, recall, leash manners), house manners, crate training and calm behavior, with daily training in "a structured home environment" and an owner transfer session at the end. The six-week Advanced program adds off-leash work, remote collar conditioning "when appropriate" and proofing under real-world distractions; dogs must finish the basic program or pass an assessment first.

Private training and service dogs

Private training takes place in your own home at $125 per one-hour session, with limited availability. Topics include behavioral consultations, puppy socialization, separation anxiety, fear and phobias, resource guarding and multi-dog households. A Service Dog Development Program runs from needs assessment and dog selection through temperament testing and health screening.
