Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

The business offers a range of programs including specialized overnight boarding, with options for cautious dogs, and board and train programs. Day school options are available for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, often described as a daytime board and train. They also provide daytime social activities, which are akin to doggie daycare, where training is not required but walks can be added.

Group classes cover various topics from basic obedience to fun-agility. Specialized programs address reactive dogs, focusing on issues like fearfulness, shyness, pulling, and barking, which require an assessment appointment. For separation anxiety, they use gradual desensitization and conditioning to help dogs cope with being left alone.

Private lessons are offered in 30-minute and 60-minute sessions at their facility, with in-home options for behavioral issues specific to the home environment or for client convenience. While they do not directly offer service dog training, they are committed to helping clients find appropriate training resources for this service.
