 Hi there, Just to give you an update. Ollie and I learned a ton during your class, it was great! Thank you! I got an exercise pen and a
"Beagle" door, and I think Ollie is actually close to being a 100% potty trained
Beagle now! He also sits, stays, lays down and comes on command. We have been very successful! I appreciate all your help, it has been amazing!!
 We loved it!.
Best regards, Lisa Miller
Do I have to use clicks and treats forever?

Housetraining
Call for a housetraining consultation in your home. Or
contact me to set up a time when we can get together.
Tip: to get your pup to reliably eliminate outside, place a container of treats in or
near the desired area. Then when he finishes, reward him by reaching to the take
a
treat out of the container and give it to him. This teaches him that the reward
comes from the environment; not from you.

Named "Best Dog Trainer" in the July 2000 Los Angeles Magazine.
New, updated model of the old box type clicker; much easier to use and hold in your hand - raised push-button insures you always have it correctly positioned in your hand -
can be used under your foot so both hands are free.
Cassie Jones, DVM:
Bill helps my clients get results quickly. He is realistic and knowledgeable about dog training and understands the problems we see in many dog breeds. He is also honest and straightforward about problems. I am not surprised that Los Angeles Magazine featured Bill Stavers
as best trainer in Los Angeles. His techniques are sensible and easy to follow.
Robert Olds, DVM Brentwood Pet Clinic West Los Angeles, CA:
Bill Stavers has provided exemplary dog behavior counseling to my clients for the past two decades.
Using sophisticated techniques, effective communication skills, and a supportive attitude, Bill brings a deep understanding of dog behavior to the task of enhancing the human-animal bond. Because of his hard work and the excellent feedback I've received from satisfied clients, Bill is one of the select few I confidently recommend to people seeking help with dog training and behavior problems.
