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 challenge loomed large with two standard poodle puppies only four months apart. Having been involved in Eric's training classes 13 years ago, we knew who to call."
"Lexi and Ella are well on their way to becoming happy, well-behaved dogs thanks to Eric's expertise in training and recognizing a canine's ability to learn. We are so pleased with the fine results after attending Obedience Training classes One & Two. With both pups less than a year old, Eric has instilled confidence in us that we can be trained to raise well-mannered dogs in the presence of other dogs and people."
"He is excellent at getting to the point in an entertaining and lively environment. In a short period of time we and the pups have learned so much with more to come. The reward has been worth every effort ten fold!"

Eric's classes are a great opportunity to work with your puppy. The socialization with other puppies teaches the puppies to get along with other dogs, which if you live in a one-dog family, is a great benefit.
Passing the puppies around the room is another great way to socialize the puppies, and it gives the puppy a chance to be handled by someone other than their own family. It also gives the puppy parents an opportunity to get acquainted with a different breed.
Most people who purchase a puppy have high expectations for their new little friend. When things don't go as smoothly as they had hoped, sometimes frustration sets in, and what should be a fun learning experience turns into something less.
Eric brings people together who share similar experiences, both good and bad. Your knowledge and easy manner gives us confidence to get our puppies the basic training they need to seamlessly fit into our families.
Thanks for all your help.

I thought my dog Kimmy was a candidate for canine ADHD before I met Eric. Now, she is well-behaved, obedient, and comes on command. She is also an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen. It is all due to the training she received with Eric.
