The Educated Dog Program: Services Offered

Free Evaluations

Free evaluations are available to any owner who wants to learn more about their best four-legged friend. The free evaluation allows our training specialist, Benjamin Frederick, to get a better understanding of what you, the owner, are dealing with, and to read what characteristics the dog has. Benjamin does not judge a dog simply by its breed, age, sex, or size. Rather, he reads the characteristics that unfold before him. The free evaluation will help Benjamin determine what steps to take next with you and your dog.

Free Phone Consultations

Free phone consultations are available to anyone who has questions about their dog's behavior. This will allow you, the owner, to tell our training specialist, Benjamin Frederick, a little more about your situation. Many times Benjamin can help you solve a problem over the phone.

Free phone consultations are also avialable to anyone who has enrolled in The Educated Dog Program. If at any point in the life of the dog, you have a question or concern, give Benjamin and call and he will do his best to resolve the problem over the phone. If he is unable to solve the problem by phone, he will set up a lesson with you at no extra charge.

One-on-One Lessons

One-on-one lessons allow Benjamin to work in-depth with you and your dog. By working individually with you, he will be able to dedicate his full attention to you and the challenges you are facing with your dog. Each session lasts for one hour and will be focused on helping you resolve the problems you are having with your dog. During each session Benjamin will listen closely to what concerns you have and in-turn explain to you how to eliminate the problems.

Group Lessons

Group lessons consist of three owners and their dog(s). Group lessons are an hour to an hour and a half long. The primary focus in the group lessons will be proper socialization skills with other dogs and people. A focus will also be placed on setting order in a group setting.

To setup your Free Evaluation e-mail or call Benjamin at 205-835-0345 today!
