Professional Training is included with the installation of a new Dog Guard system fence.
Chuck Dubis has received a Certificate of Attending The "ART OF ATTENTION" WORKSHOP in Tampa, FL with Duke Ferguson, Master Trainer of Unleashed Potential K9®/NePoPo CERTIFIED TRAINER. Additional training under Duke Ferguson was done from enrollment in the online training program offered by Duke Ferguson.
Chuck Dubis has trained under Connie Cleveland at Dog Trainer’s Workshop once per week for (6) months, specializing in obedience training.
Chuck has personally trained over 8,000 dogs to the Dog Guard fencing system. During this time Chuck has created his own style of training which allows him to shorten the learning curve for behavior training for dogs.
A full evaluation of your pet will be made and a plan of action will be explained so that you feel comfortable with the training program. Any behavior issues from nervousness to stubbornness will be addressed and a full explanation will be provided to correct any behavioral issues. We have a 100% money back guarantee that we can contain your dog to the Dog Guard Out of Sight Fencing system. If we cannot contain your dog within the first 90 days we will make a 100% refund of the full purchase price. You must allow us to work with your dog.
Your dog does not think like a human thinks. Dogs live in the moment. Second by second by second. They begin to associate by repetition. Timing, Motivation and Consistency plays a key part in this process. I believe that dogs need constant feedback to keep them on track until good behaviors are developed or poor behaviors are eliminated. Behaviors refer to anything you want or do not want. For example, sit, stay, heel, down, and over are some positive behaviors you may want. Barking, jumping, and chewing are some behaviors you may not want. To distinguish between the good and bad behaviors, we suggest markers which will be given a name. The purpose of markers is to establish in your dog's mind the difference between right and wrong. Our training program gives meaning to the markers. Once this is established, your dog will begin behavior training. I will teach you how to establish the Markers during our training.
This is a brief description of this process and I go into a lot more detail with one on one lessons. We include a short course on CORE Foundation Training with all Dog Guard fencing installations at no charge with the purchase of the Dog Guard Out of Sight Fencing System.
1. Timing: You have a very short time between saying a command and providing a reward to shape behavior.
2. Consistency: Every single time the dog does a good behavior or stops an undesired behavior, give them feedback. Every time. Once a behavior is established, rewards need to be less often.
3. Motivation: By far, the number one method of motivation is with food. Dogs must eat to survive and 60% of the brains activity is activated through the nose. Whereas a human is just the opposite. 55% of first impressions occur with the eyes. If your dog is not food motivated you must be prepared to offer your dog other ways to reward them.
We use Timing, Consistency, and Motivation when training your dog to the Dog Guard Out of Sight Fencing system. A full explanation of this will be explained and demonstrated. As your dog begins to understand these concepts you will see a change in their behavior immediately. In order for a behavior to become a habit you will need to repeat the exercises.

“After considering all options, Dog Guard seemed our best choice. From my first call for more information and a quote, to the day of installation and training, Chuck and his team exceeded our expectations at every step. We had reservations at first because one of our pups can have moments of fear or over-excitement. Those factors created a challenge, but not one that couldn't be overcome, primarily with the techniques and tips on dog behavior from Chuck. We coached and encouraged them over the last couple weeks, and we now have happy, confident pups that understand the rules and enjoy the benefits of the off-leash life at home. Not going out in the rain with them is great too!
Thank you Dog Guard SC!”
