Our Training Philosophy
|
We believe a strong relationship with your dog is the key to good behavior. But how can you have a good relationship if you don’t understand each other? Our goal is to help you understand how your dog learns and how they think, allowing you to work with your dog, increase respect, and develop a more meaningful relationship. We believe that the best human/canine relationships are built from love and understanding, not force and fear. We want you to understand your dog's L.E.G.S. (The WHY of their behavior based on their Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self). We want to help you make sure that you are actually helping your dog work through why a behavior is happening, not just treating the unwanted symptoms. We want your dog to have autonomy and be capable of problem solving and free thinking. We don't want to create you a little robot dog that does everything it's told to do exactly when you say it. We want your dog to be capable of free thinking, problem solving, and making positive decisions on their own without ever needing to be told. Because of this, we focus on using positive reinforcement and LIMA based training methods.
We believe a good trainer is always available to you, even after the training sessions are over. Feel free to contact us at any time by phone or email. We don’t care if it has been six months or ten years since our last session. We will always do our best to answer your questions and help you and your dog in any way that we can. |
