Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

The Family Pooch Trainer focuses on training new puppies and dogs with obedience challenges, utilizing positive reinforcement methods. Their approach involves in-home, one-on-one private sessions where they ‘train the trainer,’ meaning they teach the dog owners the skills to correct and instill desired behaviors in their family pet. They work on all behaviors necessary for a happy and obedient family member, specializing in training adopted dogs. They use a ‘command, mark and reward’ positive reinforcement methodology.
