Animal Training

Miriam Fields has been training animals for over 30 years. From domestic pets to exotic animals at zoos, she has the ability to communicate with them all, in a language they easily understand.

Those who have worked with Miriam Fields have learned how to communicate with their own pets, opening up a whole new world of animal-human interaction.

Animals trained by Miriam Fields adjust to their lives, are very happy and relaxed. They understand their environment, position in their family and respond quickly when given a command. From puppy kindergarten to solving behavioral problems and training older dogs, Miriam Fields can help you and your dog live harmoniously together.

Miriam Fields is recommended by other trainers, veterinarians, rescue groups, and humane societies. Her books are endorsed by HSUS.

K9 To Order

No time to deal with a pup? Don't want to go through the "destructive" phase? Your schedule won't allow for consistency?

K9 to Order will obtain the dog of your dreams, train it and bring it to your home full trained. No behavioral problems, housetrained, obedience trained, socialized and distraction proofed. The perfect companion!

It's never too late for any dog. Age, breed, and past issues don't keep a dog from learning how to adjust and behave. There's always a way to make it work!

Joan Macaluso and Teddy working with a head halter

A head halter instead of a neck collar is often the key to bringing about the changes your dog needs.

It is not a muzzle! Head halters are the best means of training a dog who pulls or exhibits forceful tendencies. Training with head halters teach dogs to control their aggressive outbursts and learn how to behave when exposed to distractions. Don't give up on a dog just because he's shown bad behavior. Train him in a way he understands and turn him into a good citizen.

All training is done one-on-one, teaching you how to communicate with your pet. The training is geared to your individual needs, not the goals of a group. Prices are based on an individual basis. Call or e-mail for estimates.
