I HEARD YOUR PROGRAM WILL SAVE ME MONEY?
Dog math. It’s true. Training is an investment in your dog where you can eventually save more than what you spend with Lee. So not only is it “free”, eventually, you’ll probably produce a net profit.
- No more treats to buy. Save hundreds of dollars every year! $20/month x 10 years = $2400+
- No more trips to the groomer! Primp your well behaved dog! ($10/month x 10 years = $1200+)
- Travel with your well behaved dog and save on boarding costs. (One week boarding per year = $2,000+)
- Eliminate the need to replace carpet, furniture, valuables, etc! (New Couch = $500+)
- Reduce risk of medical/legal bills from aggression/vehicular accidents. (Hit by car, biting, etc. = $thousands+)
MY DOG IS ON MEDICATION, DOES LEE STILL ACCEPT DOGS ON MEDICATION?
Dogtor Lee will accept over the counter pills/creams and prescription pills/creams. Dogtor Lee does not administer shots of any kind. If you have questions about your dogs medication needs, please email Dogtor Lee.
DO I HAVE TO BE “ALPHA” TO MY DOG?
Not at all. Many people confuse dog training with being “dominant” or “alpha”. If you have children, do you feel like you’re the “alpha” over your children? Of course not, but they should still respect your authority. Being the leader is about being the most competent member who makes decisions that improve the quality of life for the entire group. In fact, you’ll soon realize you’re giving your dog an envious lifestyle that other dogs would be jealous of. The whole philosophy of Lee’s training is intended to give you a dog that gets more freedom, love, and enjoyment from family, friends, and even strangers. You will love your dog more and your dog will love you more. Teaching respect doesn’t have to be mean. You will not and should not be mean to your dog. As long as you fairly reward and discipline your dog for appropriate and inappropriate behavior, then your dog will love and respect you. When you learn how to safely discipline your dog, you’ll soon realize that it’s not mean at all. In fact, it’s a nice thing.
YOU SAY THAT YOUR TRAINING WORKS ON EVERY DOG? WHAT IF MY DOG IS AGGRESSIVE?
The “one size fits all” training is real. Lee’s programs are designed to expose and eliminate everything you dislike about your dog. This includes common behavioral issues, obedience issues, and even aggression. And that’s not all – your dog will maintain his unique personality you’ve come to love and enjoy. In some very rare cases, your dog may not be 100% trainable to complete trustworthiness. Lee will let you know if it looks like you have one of these cases. However, in 99.97% of cases, dogs are fully capable of achieving full trustworthiness.
WHY ARE YOU SO ADAMANT ABOUT OFF-LEASH TRAINING? DO YOU DO ON-LEASH TRAINING, TOO?
We should always work with our dogs on-leash until they’ve had enough training to trust them off-leash. But even when we have our dogs on-leash, we are working towards off-leash control. This way, if your dog happens to get loose, they are not a flight risk or a danger to themselves and others. How do we start to train off-leash, you ask? Well that’s a trade secret that Lee can only disclose to his clients.
Too many accidents happen every day with an on-leash style of training. What happens if your leash breaks? What if the dog squeaks past you at the door and gets loose? Dogs who aren’t trustworthy off-leash are more susceptible to accidents. They can get hit by cars, eat poisonous food, run away, and more. All of these things are easily prevented if we would make the investment to train our dogs to the fullest extent. I’m so adamant about perfect behavior and obedience because I get too many calls from people who’ve had a tragic event happen in their lives from on-leash training. And they are often the same people who felt their dog didn’t need training prior to the tragic event.
I also believe that all dogs deserve the highest quality of life possible. If your dog is off-leash trustworthy, they can enjoy the sights and smells without needing to be restrained by a leash. Think of the freedom and enjoyment your dog would have without the feeling of being shackled everywhere they go.
HOW OLD DOES A DOG HAVE TO BE TO START TRAINING?
Dogs start learning things from their mother from the moment they are mobile. They actually have a great deal of training already when you get them (from the mother dog). It’s a common misconception that puppies are incapable of being trained to a high level. The ideal time to start training is: immediately upon acquisition of a dog who’s new to you. Even a young 8 week old puppy should start training immediately.
