We spend time getting to know the owner and the dog to create a customized approach based on the personality and drives of the dog and goals of the owner. Classes are private one-on-one sessions, where our trainer will teach you (the owner) how to communicate with your dog, teach wanted behaviors, and stop unwanted behaviors. Our goal is to not only teach a dog obedience or stop unwanted behavior,
but to build a strong, healthy relationship between owner and canine. Dogs thrive on strong leadership, structure, and routine. We will teach you how to be the leader your dog deserves, while incorporating structure and routine in your dog’s life, guaranteeing a happier life for both you and your bestie. For their safety and yours, it is vital a dog knows right from wrong, that is why we use a balanced training approach. This means during the learning phase of teaching obedience commands and house rules, we use reward-based reinforcements only. It is only after the dog knows and understands what is being asked of them, do we apply an appropriate correction for noncompliance or to eliminate dangerous behaviors. We love dogs and would rather them be uncomfortable for a second with a correction than be hurt or killed by performing dangerous activities.
