Living with Kids and Dogs (2-Hour Seminar) This is a cant-miss seminar if you live with kids and dogs in the same household, if you are planning to, or if your dog is going to be around kids in your extended family. Our dog behavior consultant, bite prevention expert, and Mom extraordinaire Rikke Brogaard, CPDT, will lead you through an engaging discussion on the essential topics of how to read the telltale signs that your dog may bite, how to set up positive interactions that develop a great relationship between kids and dogs, how to teach critical commands that keep you out of trouble, what is the proper amount of exercise to give your dog each day, and what your kids should do when your dog is over-excited or uncomfortable. Take a look at Rikkes quote from the article A Formula for Babies and Pets, in the November 2006 issue of Country Living: "When I was pregnant, I had two Great Danes who were not necessarily kid-friendly," says bite prevention expert Rikke Brogaard. "They ended up adoring my baby and thinking she was the greatest thing since the invention of tennis balls." Come join us at the Living with Kids and Dogs seminar to learn how you can have the same safety and success in your home! A detailed information booklet will be provided for all attendees to take home. Note: This seminar is ideal for all adults, but kids and doggies should only come along if they can relax quietly during the discussion. Click here to view the upcoming schedule. Custom Group Class (4 Classes) Would you like your own customized class to focus on topics you and your dog really need more work on, such as: Level-Two Obedience, Leash-Walking, Off-Leash Control, Tricks, or even Breed-Specific Obedience? We would be happy to lead you through a four-week program on any of these topics and more! A customized course is built around goals that you and your classmates set with the Trainer before the course begins. As always, it will be fun and effective. For example, in a Level-Two Obedience course, you can learn increased self-control and attention in the face of distractions, improved Leash Walking and Recalls, as well as new commands such as Go to Place, advanced Leave It, advanced Stay, Touch (Hand Targeting), and more. A minimum of three students is required for a custom group class. Give us a call to set one up for you and your doggy's friends, or to join a group of others with the same interests as you!

The trainer was the perfect teacher - nice, fun, professional, and genuine! The assistants were terrific as well. I really enjoyed everything about the classes!!" - Dana P., Greenwich Village, NYC "Exceptional! In just 3 sessions my dog and I were walking in rhythm together - no tugging, no pulling, no more defiance from a rather defiant bulldog. Those are things of the past. Now we cruise down the street thanks to your help. My favorite part is when my dog speeds up when I do, slows down when I do and coasts right by my side. Thanks!" - Sarah R., East Village, NYC "It was an amazing experience. I would recommend Biscuits & Bath Training to anyone." - Mark M., Upper East Side, NYC "Rikke was an excellent trainer and we really enjoyed working with her. She had good energy and is obviously very skilled with animals." - Franklin B., Upper West Side, NYC "My husband and I couldn't be happier with our classes. Our dog picked up the commands so quickly, especially for only being a puppy. People on the street acknowledge the obedience she has. The training techniques were so easy for us to learn and compatible for every day living. Our dog Shandy will be well trained and loved thanks to the help and guidance! Thanks." - Jodi C., Greenwich Village, NYC "David demystified the whole process of training. His methods were so gentle that at first I couldn't believe they would work. Kaia is proof, though, that "gentle" backed with incredible knowledge works!" - Barbara and Perry K., Murray Hill, NYC "We really had a tremendous experience with the training sessions. We adopted a dog 3 weeks before classes started and she had received no training from her previous owners. Within days after our first class, she already learned to "sit," and hold the position with eye contact. We simply cannot believe the progress she made over the course of 6 weeks." - Valerie, Upper East Side, NYC Read more testimonials
