Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

The business provides one-on-one private in-home training and behavior consulting appointments. Each program is tailored to the unique dog and family based on the dog’s personality and history. Programs include Puppy Training, Behavioral Problems (such as aggression, reactivity, generalized anxiety disorder, fearfulness, and separation anxiety), Cooperative Care for Vet Visits, and Advanced Training for Stimulation. The training approach is science-based, utilizing positive reinforcement motivators like food, praise, sniffing, exploring, and play.
