Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Dog Trots offers training programs based on Gloria Cropper’s positive training philosophy, designed to be fun and rewarding for both dog and owner. A core aspect of their service is socialization, particularly through dog park visits, to build a dog’s confidence with other dogs, people, and daily life.
Programs include private dog training sessions, in-home behavioral training, walk training, and dog park training. They also facilitate off-leash group adventures and a weekly dog pack service, which includes home pickup, focusing on exercise and socialization. The training addresses various behavioral issues such as reactivity and helps with house-training and leash manners.
Testimonials
“I found Gloria with Dog Trots by going to the dog park and watching which dog walkers were good. Gloria is excellent! Top notch. A real dog behaviorist that is skilled. I watched her deal with dogs, puppies, owners, and aggressive breeds for a few months before hiring her for my dog. My dog now goes three times a week with Gloria’s off-leash groups. Our dog waits anxiously by the gate until Gloria pulls up and jumps into her doggie truck excitedly.”
– Ildiko Papp and her lab, Billie Holiday
“Our dog is a sweet and well-behaved dog today because he has spent the past three years with Gloria and his pals at Dog Trots. She provides superb service and personalized love and attention. She is conscientious, concerned, knowledgeable, and most important, she LOVES dogs. In my next life, I want to come back as one of Gloria’s Dog Trotters.”
– Stephanie Axelrod and her Aussie, Cortez
“We have absolutely loved working with Gloria over the years: dog training, boarding, off-leash adventures… it has all been great! Our dog loves her so much, and her guidance has been key to helping us understand his needs. Not only that, Gloria’s love for all of her pack really shows! The dogs obviously adore her, and she adores them!”
– Andrew Gaines
