Training sessions are tailored to meet the needs of the individual dog
and its owner. Appointments/ classes are scheduled during the day, in
the evenings
and on weekends. Dogs are shown by appointment only. John believes that
each dog must be treated as an individual and uses those methods best
suited
to the dog and its specific needs. He believes that a dog is a commitment
and should be an integral part of the family. John enjoys working with
people
to train their dogs, especially dogs with specific problems. Ravenscroft’s
thirteen indoor/outdoor runs are exceptionally clean and fully licensed
by all governmental agencies.
