Dog Training in Baton Rouge and Surrounding Areas - Fix Behavior & Get Full Obedience Fast
About Our Dog Trainer
Certified Professional Trainer
Randy graduated at the top of his class at Starmark Dog Training Academy and rescued the 2 dogs that were assigned to him when he first started. He was required to not only pass, but ace exams in protection, basic obedience, advanced obedience, behavior modification (separation anxiety, aggression, socialization, etc.), agility I and II, scent, and search and rescue. He graduated and earned the title Professional Dog Trainer and Behavioral Specialist. It all couldn't have been possible without Sparta and Zoey.
Meet Sparta and Zoey
Sparta
Sparta is a white/gold Staffordshire Terrier Mix and was about 1 when he was assigned to Randy at Starmark. Sparta was surrendered by a family who could not spend the time potty training and house training him. When Randy first met Sparta, he was terrified of people, was cowered and submissive, and peed at loud noises and fast movements. Those of you who have met him, know he is a different dog today, full of energy and confidence!
Zoey
Zoey is a black/white Jack Russell Terrier mix and was a stray, according to the shelter. Zoey is one of the worst cases of aggression I have ever seen, and likely would have been put down at a shelter if an experienced handler hadn’t adopted her. She has come a long, long way, now being able to socialize and enjoy the world! Often with a dog at his side, Randy loves fishing, exploring the great outdoors, and playing chess.
Why Behavioral Training
Some clients want assistance with basic obedience and leash training. Others may have taught their dogs the basics, but aren’t achieving consistent results. No matter the issue, we are here to help!
Dogs Do Listen teaches behavior, not commands, because we believe that pet parents no longer need commands once a dog learns proper behavior. ‘Sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, and more are impressive, but do not address the fundamental issues at the heart of each behavior. By teaching proper behavior, we can often eliminate the need for commands after the learning phase, because your dog will understand how they are supposed to act in a situation.
Our trainers teach pet parents how to Speak Dog the Bark Busters Way in the environment your dog feels most comfortable – your home – to achieve the best, most consistent results. We will help you understand not only why your dog is behaving in a certain way, but also how to improve that behavior by communicating with your dog in a way they understand!
