Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Custom K9 Company South offers private lessons conducted either in the client’s home or at their facility, as well as in-kennel training. Their approach involves working closely with owners to provide strategies and guidance.
Trainers explain how dogs learn and the best ways to reinforce desired behaviors, often devising a plan for the owner to work on between sessions. They help dogs learn commands and improve overall listening skills.
Testimonials
“I cannot thank you enough for the difference that has been achieved in Marley’s behavior due to your training. Everyday used to be a struggle to get her to calm down and not be out of control. Now Marley is comfortable in her own skin. I can take her for a walk without her pulling on the leash. She no longer bolts for the door to get outside and didn’t jump on a visitor for the first time! She wouldn’t let me touch her front legs, but I can now brush her all over and she looks forward to it.”
– Claire P.
“Tom was very kind and patient with our yellow Lab puppy Molly and appeared to understand and acknowledge her anxieties and sensitivities. He quickly established a good rapport with all of us and then helped us to better recognize Molly’s needs and provided strategies to deal with them safely and effectively. I could not be happier with the training Custom K9 South has provided. Highly recommend”
– Jeff L.
“I thought my dogs would never stop pulling, but Bill got our unruly dogs in line and made walking them a pleasurable experience. He also got my maladjusted Labrador to socialize much better. Bill is the best!”
– Betsi F.
