Dog education

What is positive reinforcement dog training?

We provide positive reinforcement dog training. It is a practical method that focuses on rewarding desired behaviors to encourage their repetition. This approach involves giving treats, praise, or toys immediately after the dog performs the desired behavior. It is a humane and effective training method that builds trust and strengthens the bond between you and your dog, making learning enjoyable and stress-free.

Training Classes

What should I bring to obedience canine training school?

A dog who has not eaten his or her meal at least one to two hours prior to the class start time. Treats: soft, pea-sized treats are ideal. A 4-6 foot leash (no retractable leashes, please!) A buckle collar, head halter or body harness. A hollow toy which can be stuffed with food so your dog is kept busy while you listen to your instructor during the discussion portions of class. The Comfort Bone is a great stuff able toy option.

 

Is there a real guarantee for your dog training solutions?

We adhere to the Code of Professional Conduct and Responsibility set forth by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers: Members are to refrain from giving guarantees regarding the outcome of training, because there is no sure way to guarantee the cooperation and performance of all parties involved and because the knowledge of animal behavior is incomplete. This should not be confused with a desire to guarantee client satisfaction with professional services.
