The Accelerate-It Method ™

The Accelerate-It Method™ is new. I have refined this method combining decades of knowledge and multiple methods to yield an approach that is amazingly gentle and that works with virtually all dogs. The method works quickly. The method is calming.

The Accelerate-It Method™ will change your dog's life for the better. How can I GUARANTEE it? Because it works!

Goals

My goal is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.

My mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy -for the life of your dog.

What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you learn how to give him leadership and attention.

Why do I train dogs?

Because it gives me great satisfaction and joy to see people and their dogs learn how to communicate effectively. My personal goal is to help dogs achieve their 'forever' homes.

From a four footed graduate: "Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and teaching me all that good stuff; like walking calmly on a leash and going to my place. My humans are much happier! " Love, Shiloh

From his proud owners: "I have an interesting story about Shiloh and me that I would like to share with you - about just how important the "energy" is for the person holding the lead. To make a long story short, I had Shi out for his morning walk today when I encountered some significant challenges for him (e.g. jogger, bicycles, etc.) - all at the same time. So, I just decided I was going to tap the button when he would alert, say "Let's Go" and just keep walking like everything was great. Well, he responded perfectly and, basically, kept his cool - I was so proud of him that I made sure to take time out to praise him. Anyway, when I took off the collar to crate him when I left for work, I saw that I had forgotten to turn it on! So, overall, our work with Shiloh and the remote collar seems to improving every day - We can't thank you enough for providing the tools, help, and guidance that has given us that hope." Thank you so much for helping us have a better dog and training us to know how to have a better dog. We appreciate you every day!" Best, Renee & Michael

Payton is a delightful Dobe Shepherd mix who was just a bit too exuberant about life. His people just wanted him to 'listen' to them when they called him and not drag them down the street on a walk. Payton needed to have house manners explained to him, but was a quick learner. Randy and Rita, his proud owners, have done a really nice job of maintaining his new skills.

Payton has a wonderful, friendly temperament and now he knows how to greet people politely. His reward for a job well done? Why his big, red, rubber ball, of course! "Please, Throw it farther, dad!"

"I am so happy. It is going very well! Renzo is a lot calmer now. We go for a walk every day at least once, play catch, visit parents. (Walks are such a pleasure now!) He still wants to jump on people, but he knows that he can’t. We can eat dinner peacefully and watch TV without him jumping all over us.

I went to Pets Mart with him yesterday and, I must admit, I was very proud. Off course, he still gets distracted, but the collar is doing a very good job.

I noticed that he wants to go back to his old habits. Like today, for example, he tried mouthing on me. But I managed to stop it right away. We are still practicing “place”. He is getting much better while we are having dinner.

I am so pleased. It is so much less stress for us now, especially when we work.

So far everything is working out very well; I probably won’t have any questions. But I will definitely give you a call if something comes up."

Thank you, take care! Julia

Taffy, the precious Goldendoodle got off to a great start in life as her forward thinking owners asked her to be trained as early as possible. Even as a younger puppy, Taffy quickly learned her exercises. She has boundless energy so we balanced play and train more in line with her age and attention span. Taffy trained up beautifully and Mike & Marilyn, her proud owners even took her to a few group classes to hone their own skills and to solidify what Taffy learned as a guest at the Mazzeri home.

Rosie and James were quite opposites. Rosie, the Norwegian Elkhound, is sensitive and willing and loved the attention she was given in her training. James, the Samoyed-Husky, on the other hand, was quite the independent fellow and loved to bolt out the door and gate every chance he got! His exasperated owners were tired of chasing him all over the neighborhood and paying fines at the animal impound.

By carefully transitioning this well-practiced escape artist, we taught James that he COULD run ---AROUND instead of AWAY! James was so thrilled that he got to do what he loved best, RUN!! And his satisfied owners could hardly believe he was the same dog that they'd brought to school only 10 days earlier.

Boodah, the adorable Pug came to Care Dog Training as a very lovable, spoiled sweetheart. It is hard not to look into those eyes and give him everything he wants. He was not listening to his loving owners when he started the program. During training Boodah learned commands that will keep him safe outdoors as well as indoors. Boodah is shown here with two Border Terriers practicing a sit stay exercise. They are waiting for their rewards for a job well done.

I am so confident in my results after years of experience, that I literally GUARANTEE my training.
