Professional Dog Training
Your Wish is Their Command!
Dog Genie’s comprehensive training approach focuses on meeting your dog’s core needs first and respecting their role as a key partner in the training experience. We do this using positive reinforcement, leveraging the science of how dogs learn and how best to communicate together.
We offer both in-person instruction and LIVE on-line training sessions for clients around the country.
Communication
When it comes down to it, teaching your dog something new is really about understanding how they learn and how best to leverage that naturally, using modern science.
Mental Stimulation
Games are fun for people and dogs alike! Dogs have core needs to solve problems, do jobs, hunt around and keep mentally active. We can show you how!!
Exercise
We all know the old saying, "tired dogs are more well-behaved" and it's the truth! How much exercise is needed depends on your dog's age, breed, and health condition. You'd be surprised how beneficial a simple 20 minute walk can be!
Consistency
Dogs have evolved over time to want to be with humans. Much of successful positive training is built on forming a bond of trust, respect and understanding where "mistakes" are learning opportunities, not deal breakers.
Genie Tuttle,
founder of Dog Genie, has been successfully training dog and owner teams for more than 20 years.
With Dog Genie, the emphasis is on rewards-based training and positive reinforcement, which includes (but is not limited to) clicker training and key concepts from operant conditioning. Genie believes that a thorough knowledge of humane, positive, progressive training equipment is essential to building an efficient training foundation. With Dog Genie, the emphasis is on building a positive relationship of trust in which your dog’s core nature and personality is respected, valued and leveraged.
Why should you seek the guidance of a dog behavioral specialist?
One of the main reasons to seek the guidance of a dog behavioral specialist is because your dog may have one or more behaviors that you would like to change! Fear not, with Dog Genie, it can be done! Dog Genie is a dog trainer in Camarillo, California, serving greater Ventura County including: Camarillo, Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, Oxnard and the city of Ventura.
A healthy dog/owner relationship leads to a harmonious state of living for you, your family and your canine companion!
Testimonials
"Thank you for all that you have taught us. We have been to other training classes before with other dogs but your class by far is the best and we learned so much. Thank you for being so patient and encouraging with us, we appreciate all that you have shared with us. You are truly talented and we are thankful that you are sharing your gift of teaching/coaching. Take care and God bless you."
"Thanks Genie, we learned a lot working with you and it was a really positive experience!"
“Harley, our second Black Lab rescue came to us 2 yrs ago with some aggression issues towards men. We tried everything before finding Dog Genie. In her training class, Genie determined that Harley’s aggressive blustering and barking was out of fear and she was a tremendous help both to him and to our family. Genie even came to the house to fit Harley with a ‘Calming Cap’ which lowered his excitement and anxiety levels tremendously to the point where we are now able to enjoy our rides in the car again. We are very grateful.”
“My hundred and ten pound German Shepherd boy “Bueller” lived up to his name more than Matthew Broderick did in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” so it was a given that the big bad boy would be a training challenge. After going through several trainers, it was with Dog Genie that we were finally able to get this giant goof-off into a training program that worked for both of us. The former class clown is finally a well-mannered K9 citizen, thanks to Genie Tuttle, Dog Genie and her positive approach to communicating with dogs.”
“We highly recommend Genie and her training methods. We have put 3 dogs through her course. The results are amazing. Our biggest accomplishments, following her methods, have been to bring an emotionally scarred rescued Boxer out of his “shell”, turning him into a normal, well adjusted, playful, attentive, and obedient dog, and to get a stubborn Dachshund that was beyond what we thought was all hope to actually learn “Down” and “Shake” using Genie’s tricks for getting the dog to learn a command and action in baby steps. I would not have believed it possible with this dog had I not followed her guidance and seen the results for myself! Her training works!!”
“Thanks to Dog Genie’s training, my Min Pin Jay Cee went from a dog I was ready to ‘re-home’ to a pleasure to have around!”
“We are sooooo excited about last night’s class. When we came home we went through everything again, and Rommel responded immediately. Genie…you’ve even brought Bob around to your training techniques!!! He said, ‘this stuff really works!’ Thank you sooo much…we didn’t expect so much so quickly! You’re AMAZING!!! (And so is Rommel!)”
“Genie is a magician. She uses only positive methods to train dogs and more importantly, their owners. Whether its a new puppy or a dog who has long-standing behavior issues, Genie is the person for you. In addition, Genie was patient and successful in working with two of our grandchildren, ages 6 and 8, who were very frightened of dogs. After only a one hour session working with Genie, the children found a new comfort level with dogs. Genie is a “dog-gone” miracle worker. We would recommend her without reservation. She will make a significant difference in your life with your dog.”
