About Kompletely K-9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation

What they offer

Kompletely K-9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation is based on Choate Road in Montville and specializes in training and rehabilitating fearful, anxious and aggressive dogs. Owner and head trainer Kris Potter offers one-on-one private training at the facility or in the client's home, as well as board and train programs.

Programs

The basic on-leash obedience program addresses pulling, lunging, barking, jumping and reacting to other dogs, and teaches heel, sit and down stays, place, recall, crate training and waiting at thresholds. An off-leash obedience program follows, using low-level remote collar training to transfer those commands off leash. A Walk Easy program targets leash manners, and the trainer also works with older, deaf and blind dogs.

Approach

The site describes a balanced, relationship-based approach. Its FAQ lists prong collars, slip leads, e-collars and clickers among the tools used, and says treats are given at random for good behavior rather than used for obedience training.
