Hi Tanja, please complete the private lesson form on my private lesson page.
Hello,my name is Alexandre, I would be interested in your services to help me train my dog.
Hi Alexandre, please visit the private lesson page on the Dog Guy site. I look forward to working with yoy!
I’m curious if you plan to offer any group basic obedience classes for adult dogs in early 2019. I have a 2-ish year old rescue who needs obedience training, and you come recommended by several folks in Bellingham. I see you offer private training by request, but I’m interested in a group setting. Thank you!
Hi Abby, I don’t have plans to teach any classes except Objects & Obstacles, although we do cover some basics in that class. Thank you for asking!
We have a 2-1/2 yrs. old terrior mix. She barks at people: walking by our home and auto (she is in her crate), when someone approaches her, when she sees animals on tv, when she hears a noise in the house. She pretty much barks quite often.
Other than the barking she is a loving girl. Can you help us with this problem?
Hi Rod, if you are in Whatcom County, check my site for lessons. If not, drop me a note I will try to refer you. mike@dogguy.net

Hi Christjon, I recommend private lessons, which you can sign up for on the private lesson page. Otherwise, Dog Sense on Facebook might have an answer.
Hi Tanja, I can help via private lessons, available on the private lesson page of this site. Thank you.
Hello! So, I just adopted a Great Pyrenees who is about 4.5yrs old. But he won’t seem to listen to a thing I say. Are you able to help with him coming to his name and overcoming his fear of the dog bed/dog crate? I’d love to let him off his leash but I’m nervous he’ll run away. Maybe it’s too soon but loads of ladies keep referring me to you.
Hi Catherine, I can help with those concerns. 1st stedp are to complete the private lesson form, and schedule your appointments using the automated system. Both of these are on the private lesson page of this site. Thank you for your inquiry!
