Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Pawsitive K9 Trainer offers two main programs: Puppy Training and Private Lessons.
Puppy Lessons consist of one-hour sessions over 6 weeks. The first meeting is an orientation for owners only, with no puppies present. This program covers house training, basic commands such as sit, down, and stay, and loose leash walking.
Private Lessons are conducted in the client’s home at their convenience. These lessons can provide the same information as the puppy class for new puppies, or they can be tailored to meet the specific needs of older dogs.
