PEOPLE & DOG COMPANIONSHIP-
A Thoroughly Personal Approach
In Suzanne Clothiers book; Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships with Dogs (p. 55), she writes: Every dog trainer in the world can relate stories of clients who want a dog and are seeking advice as to what kind of dog they should consider. Questioned, the client reports in all sincerity that they want a dog who would happily stay home alone for eight to ten or more hours a day, never destroy anything, perfectly control his bladder and bowels, be delighted to see them and need little more than a walk around the block before settling down to keep them company. They ask, What kind of dog should I get? The correct answer is A stuffed one.
Clothier goes on to say: All the delight of a dogs companionship but none of the responsibility. But also none of the soulful moments of dynamic authenticity.
* * *
At SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING & BOARDING CENTER, LLC we are NOT willing to work with people and their dogs, if the people ONLY want us to try to turn their dog into A ROBOTIC BODY that mechanically comes, sits, downs, and stays!
Our whole approach is to BE PERSONAL with PEOPLE and with their DOG! We want to demonstrate how it is possible to treat all dogs as THE BEAUTIFUL COMPANIONS that they want to be to their HUMAN OWNER.
We communicate with canines PERSONALLY, appealing to their BRAIN to learn commands, but we also communicate with A DOGS SOUL, to engage each dog as THE UNIQUELY INDIVIDUAL CREATURE that it is, in its own right. We model what it means, on many levels, to be A HUMAN HANDLER who wants A REAL VITAL LIFE RELATIONSHIP with their CANINE COMPANION!
Only a HUMAN BEING, who is RESPONSIBLE to learn what they must BE and DO to own and handle a DOG, can truly have A REAL RELATIONSHIP with their DOG as their four-legged COMPANION!
David and his Service Dog, TROOPER!

TRAINING YOUR K9 FRIEND
TO Heel!!!
Notice in this picture how the dog (Elly)
is more focused on the floor and moving away
from the human handler (Ian) than she
is walking in line in the same direction as Ian is walking!
We will look again in the pictures below to see how this is corrected.
Training a canine to "HEEL" means to condition your puppy or adult dog to walk at your side (left side, being the traditional standard), at the speed you are walking and in the direction you are walking, without dragging behind you or pulling ahead of you!
The most important part of training and conditioning a canine to HEEL is to have your ten pound puppy, and especially your hundred pound adult dog, STOP when you stop walking!
If you are walking on a sidewalk in a town or in your neighborhood and you need to stop for the cars and trucks speeding down the road that are passing by you - then you need your canine to STOP too!
The following pictures will demonstrate our method for conditioning your puppy or dog to automatically SIT and LOOK at you (positioned just behind your feet), so that your canine's focus is on you and not on the squirrel that is running out into the road in front of a racing vehicle.
JUST THINK WHAT YOU AND YOUR CANINE
WOULD LOOK LIKE IF IT PULLED YOU OFF THE CURB
INTO THE PATH OF A FAST MOVING VEHICLE! 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who do we train and condition
our canine companion to HEEL?
With a short length of the dog's leash allowing our arm to mostly rest at our side, and with our arm not moving all around or allowing our hand sliding up and down the leash, we have the dog on our left side and begin to walk as soon as we give the dog the command to "HEEL!"
As soon as the dog begins to move in our direction we direct
its eyes toward our eyes by frequently saying;
"GOOD DOG, GOOD GIRL,"
( or "GOOD BOY" - as the case may be).
Engaging our canine companion to keep its focus on us is vital to having the dog in tune with us step by step - and when we stop, the dog will be able to do the same because will be anticipating our each and every action or inaction!
To train and condition your puppy or dog to STOP and SIT and WATCH you as soon as you STOP is accomplished by prompting the canine to scent a food reward in your right hand that you bring to the dog's nose...
(while simultaneously bringing your left leash hand back of your thigh and keeping it there to lock the dog into position at your side and slightly behind you)...
Then, you immediately bring the food treat up to your own nose to prompt the dog to sit and watch you!
NOTICE - this dog is only squatting, she is not yet in a "SIT" position.
In order to have Elly follow through and sit at his side,
before Ian gives her the treat reward,
Ian just waits for Elly to actually "SIT" and "WATCH" him.
Now that Elly has taken her right position by sitting at Ian's side and slightly in back of him, and because see has watched Ian and looked at his eyes with her eyes, then Ian immediatly gives Elly her food reward and marks in Elly's mind how well she obeyed the HEELING command from start to stop, by saying to her; "YES, GOOD GIRL ELLY, GOOD HEEL!"

TRAINING YOUR K9 FRIEND TO HEEL !!!
* * *
When you are commanding 140 pound Cane Corso to HEEL, who is ALL MUSCLE, and you need to stop at the curb where a 3 ton truch is barrling by at 60 mph. - well, you definantly need your dog to STOP, SIT and WATCH you!
[Our very talented training assistant, Brandy, is working with this wonderful dog, "DOZER!"]
Brandy brings DOZER'S leash behind her leg and then, at the very same time, sweeps a training reward past DOZER'S nose, and up to her nose. This prompts DOZER to SIT and to WATCH Brandy!
Immediately, Brandy places the training reward ( a tastey food treat), into DOZER'S mouth, and says; "YES! GOOD BOY, DOZER, GOOD HEEL!"

BEST FRIEND!"
WELCOME!
My name is David Dee. I can help you with training your family dog, or working dog, in addressing specific behaviors. Negative Behaviors can be overcome and Positive Behaviors can be learned, with the right mind and method !
Dog Training is one of life's simple pleasures for me! I enjoy seeing K9's and their human handlers working together in harmony.
You can spend hundreds of dollars and READ BOOKS for years on how to train your dog to be obedient - or you can spend a little time and a little money with someone who knows how to READ DOGS, who can bring the best behavior out of your dog!!!
Do you want to learn how to read and understand your dog, so that you can continue to train your four-footed friend to obey you and to enjoy being a dog? Do you want to have other people enjoy you and your dog? SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING & BOARDING CENTER, LLC is the right place for you.

This delightful young puppy, (a Mastif/Great Dane Mix), named "MILLIE," is being trained to HEEL!
[Millie is only 5 months old]
As Brandy commanded MILLIE to "HEEL," as soon as Brandy started walking, then upon coming to a STOP, Brandy prompts MILLIE to also STOP, by sweeping a training reward from the puppy's nose up to Brandy's nose!
MILLIE then SITS and WATCHES Brandy because of our training and conditioning method of engaging a canine to respond to both verbal and visual cues! 
"YES, MILLIE, GOOD GIRL, GOOD HEEL!!!" 
October - 2018

Our gifted assistant trainer, Ian, is working with this young Irish Setter, "RASCAL," to train and condition him to HEEL!
[Notice, normally a canine is trained and conditioned to HEEL on the left hand side of a human handler. But, RASCAL'S owner has a mobility need to have us train and condition her boy, RASCAL, to HEEL on the right hand side.]
After commanding RASCAL to HEEL, as Ian started walking, then Ian sweeps a training treat from RASCAL'S nose up towards Ian's own nose. Ian waits patiently for RASCAL to rightly respond to his prompting to SIT and to WATCH Ian. 
When RASCAL finally gives into Ian's hand signal prompts, the dog SITS and WATCHES Ian.
"RASCAL" has been
properly named-
he can be a "rascal!"
* * *
"Patience is a virtue
in dog trainming!"
As Ian quickly gives the dog its food reward for obeying, Ian says;
"YES, GOOD BOY,
GOOD HEEL,
YOU RASCALLY
RASCAL - YOU!!!"
