Dog Training Lessons
Our Training Approach : A balance of Leadership techniques and Positive Reinforcement
After years of training hundreds of dogs, our team found this to be the most effective approach because it is not punishment based and we are not bribing the dogs to do anything. We focus on clear communication, mutual respect, and rewarding desirable behaviors.
We will help you and your dog :
Understand Leadership
Leadership in dog training doesn't mean dominating your dog; instead, it's about being a reliable and consistent guide. Dogs are naturally pack animals and respond well to clear leadership. Establish yourself as a calm and confident leader that your dog can trust.
Understand How to Use Positive Reinforcement Without Bribing
Positive reinforcement involves rewarding your dog's good behaviors to encourage them to repeat those behaviors. This can include treats, praise, toys, or any other positive reward that your dog finds motivating.
Respond to Clear Communication
Consistency and clarity in your commands and signals are crucial. Use simple, consistent cues for different commands, and use them in the same tone and context each time. Dogs thrive on routine and predictable communication.
Establish Boundaries
Set clear boundaries for behavior. Dogs need to understand what's expected of them to feel secure and well-adjusted. For instance, decide whether your dog is allowed on the couch or the bed.
Remember that every dog is unique, so we will always customize each training session based on your dog’s progress and motivation. By combining leadership techniques and positive reinforcement, you'll create a harmonious and rewarding relationship with your furry friend.
