About Sidekicks Dog Training

What they offer

Sidekicks Dog Training offers private lesson packages held in the owner's home or in public settings such as parks. The 5-lesson package is for getting started with basic obedience, puppy challenges or a specific behavior issue; the 7-lesson package is its most comprehensive option for dogs needing more extensive training, advanced obedience or work on reactivity.

Specialized training

Beyond the core packages, it lists basic to advanced obedience (recalls, leash walking, off-leash control and proofing), competition obedience, puppy training with socialization and problem prevention, and reactivity work for dogs that bark, lunge or become agitated on leash. Board and train programs are offered on a limited, case-by-case basis.

How they train

The site describes a balanced, relationship-based approach tailored to each dog, using Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) methods and teaching owners to motivate their dog with positive reinforcement.
