Swansea, MA Dog Training
Dear Swansea Dog Owner,
Swansea is a great place to have a dog. I spent my summers as a kid playing on the Lee’s River.
I started teaching dog obedience and puppy classes to Swansea dog lovers way back in 1995.
At Eric Letendre’s Dog Training School you and your dog will learn:
- The one thing you have to know about using rewards. (Using rewards the right way can be extremely effective, done the wrong way and your training can self destruct.)
- What German Dog Trainers know about teaching the come command that most other trainers don’t. (And how to use this secret to get maximum training results.)
- Simple psychological “tricks” that teach your dog that you are the pack leader. (You can teach your dog that you are the leader without ever using force or harmful techniques.)
- Exactly what to do in your first training session that can 1.) Bond your dog to you right away 2.) Develop trust between you and your dog 3.) Get your dog to respond every time he hears his name.
- How to avoid the 5 biggest dog training myths that have been taught over the last 50 years. (Scary thing is… many dog trainers still teach these myths. Yet in most cases, these myths can actually harm your dog.)
- And much, much more…

Sky is a beautiful, young German Shepherd who would jump, pull on leash, and was difficult to control, especially at the Vet’s office. After a few dog training sessions in Westport, Massachusetts Sky did excellent at her next Vet exam.
"Sky was seen yesterday at Acoaxet Veterinary Clinic in Westport, Mass. We were very satisfied! They handled her excellently, and she responded really well. Sky did so much better! When people made comments about how well she was behaving, (even in the waiting room!) I told them 'Eric Letendre' taught her, and us!... He is a patient person! They did say they like you around there too! It was quite 'cute', as at one point the vet referred to you as "Uncle Eric" when addressing Sky! And I know Sky is thankful!"
"Also, God's best to you, your wife, and family! Thanks again!"

Eric Letendre was recommended to me by several sources. I then decided to take a look at his website. In doing so, I signed up to receive Eric's weekly E-zine. I found the information in the E-zine to make sense, be extremely helpful, and most importantly, be achievable.
I have two dogs who have extremely different temperaments and energy levels. I find that Eric's methods work equally well with both of them. Also, I have begun, and continue to be, more in tune with how my dogs think, and why they do what they do. This is a huge breakthrough, and is a concept I had not given much thought to in the past.
What I admire most about Eric's training concepts is that they apply obedience training successfully without the means of force that may ultimately harm, injure, or backfire later on. It's been great to realize that training may be accomplished without the owner becoming over frustrated or completely insane.

I am the Director of Operations at the Potter League for Animals in Middletown, RI. Since Eric Letendre has been coming to the Potter League, we have seen an increase in adoptions and a decrease in returned dogs to the shelter. His style and great sense of humor during obedience class keeps bringing adopters back and spreading the word about positive reinforcement.
The dogs that are adopted from the Potter League may be rescued strays or dogs that have been voluntarily surrendered for adoption. How important is obedience training? Extremely important! Eric shows you one of the best ways for you to establish a relationship with your new dog, and to begin to develop a bond through obedience training. A class taught by Eric is full of positive reinforcement, lots of praise, and fun for both you and your dog. We hope Eric will help us train here at Potters for a long time, helping our new adopters.

I am pleased to say his methods of training are not invasive, he is understanding and treats every dog respectfully. Most importantly the results and behavior transformation is instant. Day one of class one you will get results quickly and positively; your dog to live a better more obedient life! I highly recommend Eric for the most difficult situations with your dog. And I also recommend him for simple problems and obedience training. He is an amazing trainer!"
