Having a dog in your life should be rewarding … for both of you. If the relationship you have now is sometimes more stressful than joyful, I can help. I’m Eileen Haley, a professional behavior counselor and owner of Second Chance Dog Training. I’m all about helping people create happier lives with their dogs.
Your dog will learn to listen to you during the real-life distractions in your home and neighborhood.
Reward-based training designed to achieve your specific goals in the shortest time possible.
There’s no need to travel to a training class. I’ll come to your home at a time that works for you.
Does your dog jump on company, pull on leash or bark at you for attention? My private in-home lessons go beyond teaching your dog the basic obedience commands. They teach you how to resolve the real-life problems you have with your dog’s behavior.
Whether you need help raising your puppy, training your dog, resolving a behavior problem or dealing with aggression, I will teach you how to train your dog to respond to your direction.
Rather than punishing bad behavior, we’ll teach your dog good behavior. My lessons are fun and everything I teach has a practical purpose. The more your dog listens to you during daily activities, the more you’ll enjoy spending time together. Below is a list of common behavior issues I can help you resolve.
Housebreaking Issues
Play-biting or Nipping
Jumping on People
Pulling on Leash
Destructive Chewing
Won't Come When Called
Excessive Barking
Chasing Kids/Bikes/Cars
Doesn't Listen If Distracted
Separation Anxiety
Aggressive Behavior
Fearful Behavior
Why choose in-home training? Ringing doorbells, exciting guests, kitchen aromas and even common household chores can be challenging distractions to your dog. Throw in a couple of kids and things really get interesting!
Want to go for a walk? Squirrels, bunnies, bikes and dogs are all enticing him to pull at the end of the leash. My private lessons teach you how to train your dog to respond during real-life situations like these.

Life might be crazy, but your dog doesn’t have to be. I make it as simple and easy as possible to have the well-trained companion you’ve always wanted by coming directly to your home and working around your schedule.
I met Eileen Haley at the local animal shelter where I volunteer. They had invited Second Chance Dog Training to teach us how to train the shelter dogs. I was amazed at how the dogs responded to Eileen in such a short time. Even dogs that had been labeled “virtually impossible to walk” were walking nicely on a leash. Both dog and walker were happy. I decided her method of training might be worth a try at home with my own ‘pack of dogs’. At that time, I had 2 adult Labs and 2 shepherd mix puppies. Since my male Lab had a bad experience with a trainer in the past, I was a nervous about how he would react but since she only uses positive reinforcement, he loved it. We all did. Having her come to our home allowed her to see how the dogs behaved in their own environment. By graduation, I had a totally different way of thinking about dogs and a better way to communicate with them. About five months after graduation, I adopted a puppy that had been badly abused. With Eileen’s guidance, my other 4 dogs accepted her and we are all very happy together.
