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

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!

In October, Abby came into our lives with the force of a hurricane. Four months later, as we continued to work at convincing ourselves that her ping-pong behavior was simply healthy exuberance, we saw the first signs of aggressiveness towards other dogs. Fortunately, our Vet recommended a visit to Eric Letendre.

Thanks to Eric's astute evaluation and very workable suggestions, Abby's behavior quickly improved. She began to attend dog daycare, where she played and interacted with other dogs.

After a few private lessons with Eric, where he taught us some key management techniques, we joined a training class - not a bark or lunge on Abby's part!

I hesitate to think of Abby's fate had we not found Eric. His gentle, but very effective training methods worked wonders with her. His expertise, confidence, and obvious love of dogs worked wonders with us.

When Abby is in daycare, or boarding with Eric, we're certain that she is as well cared for as she would be at home. Abby is becoming more enjoyable every day, and we're having fun training her and watching her progress. Thank you Eric!

My dog Rudy and I attended classes with Eric Letendre. Rudy is a better dog and I am a better owner for doing so. The classes are informative and fun for both of us.

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.

Eric knows what dogs are thinking about. It's the same gift that enables John McEnroe to be such a good tennis commentator. He knows what the players are thinking and what the players are likely to do.

When my beagle wouldn't obey a particular command in dog school, Eric suggested that the dog was confused. He said, "Your dog is thinking you meant something else." The he would clarify the command by hand signals or voice, and it worked. We are indebted to Eric. My hyper Minnie beagle is now normal, and so is my wife.
