Wholistic Hound delivers family dog training and behavior solutions that are both dog and people friendly. Their clients achieve excellent results in a short time by learning to communicate with their canine companions and integrate effective dog training techniques into their daily lives. Owner and Instructor Sandy Modell is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and has been training dogs for many years. Her philosophy and methods approach training as more than just dog “obedience.” Humane and effective dog training is based on the science of learning behaviors of classical and operant conditioning. The methods and techniques that are used teach your dog to think as they learn new and good behaviors. At the same time, you build a stronger relationship with them. Sessions are positive, motivating, and fun. Private in-home lessons, group classes, and specialized consultations are offered for puppies and dogs of all ages. Group classes are sponsored through the City of Alexandria Department of Parks and Recreation.
