Smarty Paws Dog Training in New Hyde Park, NY Announces the Start-Up of 2009 Group Classes for Obedience and Socialization
New Hyde Park, NY, April 05, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Smarty Paws provides positive training that really works. Helen believes there are no bad dogs, only untrained dogs. Anytime a person is in the company of a dog, one of them is being trained and it is better to be the trainer than the trainee. That couldn't be more true so, as Helen says, "Train your dog before he trains you!"

Helen Del Bove is an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer and a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) with over 20 years experience working with dogs and their humans. Helen believes that dog training should be a positive experience for both dogs and humans and she teaches how to work with dogs while keeping their tails wagging. Helen’s training programs teach the dog to accept the owner as a benevolent leader. The end result will be that the dog will learn to listen to cues and undesirable behaviors will be eliminated or curtailed. With positive training, no puppy is too young to start and no dog is too old to learn. Starting puppies young with socialization and training is crucial for the dog to live up to its true potential as a companion animal. Helen teaches proper socialization, how to build a strong bond with the pup and how to avoid common behavior problems.

Helen provides private, in-home instruction for basic obedience, common problem solving and behavior modification of serious behavior problems. Group classes for basic obedience (5 months and up) are conducted April thru November and Puppy Kindergarten (12-20 weeks) classes begin at the end of May. Helen is especially pleased to announce the addition of “Beyond Basics” classes to this season’s roster.

Basic Obedience classes are conducted Saturday mornings, Sunday evenings and, beginning in June, Wednesday evenings. Puppy Kindergarten classes are offered Saturday evenings beginning in May and Tuesday evenings beginning in June. “Drop-Ins” are welcome for both the Basic Obedience and Puppy Kindergarten. The Beyond Basics course is offered early Saturday mornings and does not accept “drop-ins”.

The deadline for registration in group classes is one week before the class start date. Interested dog owners can call Helen at 516-395-7884 or visit the Smarty Paws Dog Training website at http://www.smartypawsny.com for more information about Helen and her training programs as well as some helpful tips and fun photos.

As Helen is fond of saying - "Happy Tails!"
