Dogs are very fast learners. They can quickly learn what works to help them get what they want and need. I'm sure you've heard the old saying "if it isn't broke, why fix it". Dogs are a perfect example of this in action. If they are getting what they want by doing what they're doing, they will continue to do it. They are also very creative and if something isn't working they will try something else. Realize that you are shaping your dog's behavior every moment you spend with them. Dogs are a direct result of the environment they live in so pay close attention to the messages you are sending your dog whenever you interact with them.

Unless you are starting out with a new puppy, which has a clean slate so to speak, you are dealing with a product of yours or somebody elses environment. Often times that environment exaggerates certain behaviors that become big or small problems for everyone except the dog. Many people unknowingly try to "solve" a problem behavior and in fact actually give reinforcement to it. Shaping your dogs behaviors and priorities so that they are always well mannered and quick to respond to you, even when they are distracted, is my goal in working with you and your dog. To achieve this requires training you as well as your dog.

That's where I come in. My name is Duane Overturf and I started Your Best Companion to help people get the most out of their experience of having a dog. For more than 30 years, I've helped thousands of dogs and owners from virtually every background. As a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals I continue to educate myself with new knowledge about all techniques that are being explored by other professional trainers. Techniques that get quicker results and are often times gentler as well.

Today, I train my clients and their dogs using methods and tools that were unheard of when I started in the field. I'll show you how to start your new puppy so as to avoid future potential problems from ever forming in the first place. I'll show you how to extinguish behavioral problems permanently and how to get your dog to really want to listen to you with incredible reliability. I have extensive experience working with rehabilitating timid, neglected, abused, & rescued dogs. I have helped owners of dogs with aggressive tendencies become confident that their dog will behave responsibly. Working with me, you'll learn how to effect permanent changes in your dog.

My Guarantee

When you enroll your dog in any training program I offer I make a lifetime commitment to your desire that s/he become an enjoyable, well mannered member of your family. Within the confines of the type of course you have selected I will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to achieve this and it will never cost you another cent. In order for me to accomplish this there are some things I would like for you to do. Should you encounter problems with your dog while you are training or after we have completed our lessons together, telephone me immediately. We will discuss the problem and I will advise you. If this does not solve the problem, we will schedule a time as soon as possible to meet and deal with the problem. If you find it necessary to put a hold on your lessons for any reason, you can, at any time, resume the lessons. If you decide to place your dog in another home you can transfer the lessons remaining to the dog's new owner. This is not the limit to my guarantee. If these things don't get the job done, we will improvise. When I say that I am committed to your owning a wonderful dog I am serious. Your satisfaction is my top priority.
