Swansea MA Dog Training - Invisible Leash - Eric Letendre's Proprietary Dog Training System

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

Eric's years of "positive" dog training methods have remedied many behavior problems with our dogs- making them more likely to be adopted. We often recommend obedience classes with Eric to promote continuing good doggy conduct in our dogs after they find homes, to assure that they remain well-mannered members of their new family.

Eric has been extremely generous in donating time and much needed funds to our organization. We are grateful for all that Eric does for Placing Paws.

The staff of the East Providence Animal Control Facility would like to extend our appreciation to you on behalf of our dog Shady. It is not often that someone will extend themselves to a "pound puppy." Your knowledge and willingness to help has made a difference to Shady. I am sure that he looked forward to his Saturday morning training sessions. We want to thank you very much for all you have done, caring enough to help one of our dogs. And of course, a very BIG thank you from Shady.

Your E-zine has given new and practical information about dog (and human) behavior, as well as reinforced some of the things we learned in your classes and in speaking with you.

Matt and I know that kindness towards animals pays off, and that is what makes your methods workable for people of any age. We've seen very young and very old people with very active pets attending your classes, and all we humans have benefited. Our dog Sam is a very different dog from when we first adopted him because of the way we learned to work with him. Also, I got over my "big dog" fear, and truly enjoy his company.

You are well-respected and well-known and it's well-deserved. When your name came up about a month ago, I commented to someone that you are kind of like Cher (I'm sure you are wondering where this is going, or maybe you've heard it before)...Lots and lots of people refer to you simply as "Eric" (no last name), and everyone knows who they are talking about.

Thank you again!

Lindsey Pinkerton, in Little Compton, RI needed dog training for her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Sophie. Sophie did not listen to Lindsey or anyone else. Here is how she described the training:

“Eric always has the answer. Whatever the problem is, he can solve it (sounds like a Vanilla Ice song from the ‘90s). And the answer usually isn't very complicated… sometimes it seems obvious after he says it, but it is invaluable to have him point out the things that we don't even realize we do when we interact with our dog. He gave us simple solutions that were easy to implement and for many things, it solved problem behaviors almost instantly.

Hands down the best money you'll ever spend on anything in your life. Eric is the best! He will help you get the dog you dreamed of when you brought home that puppy in the first place! It'll make everyone in your house happier, including the dog! Now that Sophie knows what we expect from her, she is much happier, our daily lives are much calmer and the relationship that my kids have with her is so much more rewarding.”
