Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

Three Dimensional Dog Training offers a range of customized programs for various needs. Their In-Home Dog Training & Rehabilitation Plans provide a tailored curriculum for addressing challenging behaviors or teaching new skills, with no extra charge for multi-dog households. These plans include Single Sessions for flexibility, an Intermediate Plan for minor enhancements, a Basic Obedience Plan for common misbehaviors in puppies and adult dogs, and an Ultimate Obedience Plan for achieving maximum potential and advanced capabilities like off-leash control.

The Service Dog Plan focuses on training your own service dog at home, covering categories such as Autism, Diabetic Alert, PTSD, Balance Assistance, Seizure Medical Alert, and Hearing Impaired. This program is private, in-home or online, includes a certified instructor, a customized family plan, flexible scheduling, and a letter of authenticity upon completion. A written doctor’s note is required to qualify.

Group Obedience Classes are available for clients who have completed prerequisite in-home sessions, offering dynamic simulations of real-life situations. Boarding Enrichment Sessions allow their behaviorists to train your dog at your chosen boarding facility, with personalized training, 45-minute sessions, and progress reports including notes, photos, and videos. Convenience Training provides dog-only sessions at your home, handled entirely by a professional behaviorist, with customizable goals and optional monthly subscriptions. Live Virtual Lessons are private online sessions via Google Meet, offering evaluation, diagnosis, training plans, theory discussion, and hands-on instruction. Additionally, they offer a Therapy Dog Plan to help clients train their dogs to exceed therapy dog exam criteria and give back to the community, with affiliations like Hand-In-Paw and the Birmingham Airport’s Traveler Loving Companions program.

About the Trainer

Three Dimensional Dog Training, located in Birmingham, Alabama, offers comprehensive dog training and rehabilitation services. They specialize in training service dogs for various needs, including Autism, PTSD, Diabetic Alert, Balance Assistance, Seizure, and Hearing Impaired conditions. Their approach emphasizes training owners to manage their relationship with their dog and customize plans to address individual needs.

They provide private, in-home, and online sessions, making their services convenient and accessible. A unique advantage is their “parent-training” philosophy, which views dogs as thinking, planning creatures whose behavior mirrors human children, focusing on understanding the dog’s worldview and emotional needs. They aim to heal relationships and instill trust and security in dogs.

Beyond service dog training, they address a wide range of common and complex behavior challenges such as leash pulling, jumping, aggression, separation anxiety, and fearfulness. They also offer basic obedience, puppy training, and advanced programs like off-leash control. Additional services include Boarding Enrichment Sessions, where their behaviorists train dogs at the client’s chosen boarding facility, and Convenience Training, which provides dog-only sessions at home for busy families.

Their training is described as affordable and timely, with service dog training being significantly less costly than acquiring a pre-trained dog. All service dog program completers receive a letter of authenticity. The business is led by certified canine behaviorists, including Aaron McDonald, who has over two decades of experience and developed the “Unified Theory of Canine Behavior.”
