New Puppy? Because of increased demand, I am adding a 4-week Puppy Socialization class beginning June 26, 2013. (June 26, July 3, July 10 and July 17)  Location: Bark Town Dog Day Care at 199 Lucy Road in Howell.  Please download a registration form and submit with payment to hold a spot. The class is $80. If the class isn't filled, I will also take drop-ins ($20 per session); must call ahead for space availability.
 
Puppies must have age appropriate vaccinations including Bordetella if old enough, proof of negative fecal and have lived with you for at least 10 days by the time class begins.

Fido FUNdamentals, LLC is owned and operated by Linda Nichols, CPDT, serving Howell, Hartland, Brighton and other Livingston County communities. My mission is to help you understand how dogs learn and why they do what they do, enabling you to effectively communicate with your canine friend. Once you understand what drives your dog's behavior, you will know how to get the behaviors you want. I will teach you techniques based on well proven learning theory and show you how to become a leader without the use of force or intimidation. Training your dog can be a challenge sometimes; however, once you learn these easy to apply concepts, you will be pleasantly surprised how your relationship with Fido will change. Whether you have a new puppy that you want to get started off on the right paw, an older puppy, or an adult dog that just needs better manners, I can help you achieve your goals. Why wait for problems to develop or worsen; have the dog you want with the dog you have!

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you visit often. I will be adding content including more articles and helpful links.  If you can't find what you are looking for, please contact me.
