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…

INVISIBLE LEASH® Success Stories

The class was excellent! Happy is a service dog in training, so the skills Eric taught are vitally important. Every skill taught is based on positive reinforcement - something that Paws With A Cause insists upon.

The class in not only informative, but fun! The techniques that Eric uses are simple, yet effective. Happy goes to school with me every day (I teach 8th grade special education). Each student in my class spends about ten to fifteen minutes helping to training Happy and graphing his progress.

I have taught the students the techniques that Eric uses. The students not only were able to use the techniques, but found almost instantaneous results.

"The biggest challenge for us was jumping and coming when called. No is the magic word Eric taught us. He rarely does anything wrong but if he does he stops immediately. You can see that Eric loves is job and the best part is he came to my house to do the dog training. If someone was to ask me about hiring Eric I would say “Do it!!!!”

Dear Dr. Letendre,

You are not only a dog trainer, YOU ARE A THERAPIST! I can remember countless hours you have spent working with Emma. You listened to us voice our fears, dreams, hopes, and concerns about her. The truth is you have always believed in her, even when we have not. Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for your assistance in helping me train my new puppy, Nestle Crunch. Without your help, he was uncontrollable. Now, he's well-behaved and learning new tricks. I will recommend your classes to anyone who has a new puppy or dog needing a gentle way to train.
