Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
The “New Pet Orientation” program is designed for first-time dog owners, providing tools and knowledge for a positive start, including house training, crate training, “The Pack Mentality,” and establishing house rules. “Kindergarten Puppy Training” builds a strong foundation for obedience, covering how dogs think and learn, crate training, house training, and the “lead and capture” technique.
The “AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Training” focuses on Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility, serving as the first step for Canine Good Citizen certification. “Basic Obedience Training” gently guides dogs through ten root commands, covering loose leash walking, front door greetings, and interacting with strangers. The “AKC Canine Good Citizen” program prepares dogs to be safe and responsible community members, also serving as the first step for a therapy dog.
“Advanced Obedience Training” builds confidence, response time, and compliance, reinforcing basic commands with longer standoff times and distances, and includes off-leash work with retrieving and other working tasks tailored to the dog’s abilities. “Detection” training uses classic retrieving and scent discrimination to condition dogs for target scent detection. “Aggression Management” employs time-tested protocols to teach new behaviors, including desensitizing exercises, proper socialization, language display, conflict control, and fear management.
