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
Leslie & Maria Verissimo contacted me because of their little dog, Benny. Benny is a very cute, very smart little dog but he had one big problem. He would bark his head off and jump like crazy when someone walked into the house. We did three training sessions with Benny and now he is well-behaved and listens to his commands. Leslie wrote us to state:
“We want to thank you so much for helping us with Benny. He is like a new dog! My mom is enjoying him so much more now that he isn't always jumping and barking every time someone walks through the door and she is loving how he is listening to her, especially with the sit/stay/come commands... thank you again. We are very happy.”

Zeus was an adoptee and was five years old when we got him. Most recently, at the age of ten, he has completed Eric's Level 3 training. It goes to show you that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
It's been a pleasure doing business with Eric, and I never worry when Zeus is an overnight guest or a trainee.
