Fur Better Fur Worse Dog Training

Fur Better Fur Worse Dog Training Fur Better Fur Worse believes in positive reinforcement techniques with the end goal of creating a better relationship between you and your dog.

Fur Better Fur Worse dog training is all about creating a better relationship between dogs and their humans. We believe in the ethical and humane methods of positive training and practice hands free positive training techniques. FBFW has years of experience but is working to call themselves the premier Quad City training facility to help aggressive and shy/fearful dogs. We also excel in training b

asic home manners like sit/down/come/stay/walking nice on a leash as well as staying off counters, staying out of the garbage and general home destruction behaviors. This is a laid back and fun environment not geared toward the structured/competitive obedience classes that are out there. (Please contact us if you are looking for competitive training and we do have recommendations) Obedience training should be fun for both you and your dog and the classes are structured so everyone is relaxed and has a good time. Private in home training or specialized classes are available for those dogs who either don't do well in a class environment (aggressive or shy) or folks who just prefer the one on one in home experience. Come see our brand new interactive way to teach your dog to walk nicely on a leash. You won't find this method offered anywhere else in the QC and you see results in the first week of training.

This is the core of working with fearful dogs. Give it a read.

There's a conversation happening every time a dog backs away from a stranger, shuts down at the end of a leash, or presses themselves into the corner of a room. Many people don't know how to read it. Some people don't know there's a conversation happening at all.

The dog who retreats isn't being stubborn. The dog who freezes isn't refusing to cooperate. The dog who hides behind their person isn't broken or damaged beyond reach. They're communicating, clearly and honestly, about what they need in order to feel safe enough to engage.

Safe. That word is the one that matters most. Not comfortable, not distracted, not lured past their threshold by a high-value treat held just out of reach. Safe. The distinction is not semantic. It's the entire foundation of whether a dog can learn anything useful in a given moment.
