Each session helps owners understand their dogs more deeply and develop communication, trust, and cooperation through everyday routines, games, and shared experiences. All done through positive reinforcement-based training!
We teach your dog new skills that will benefit them in the real world, take skills that you learned in puppy class, and turn them into reliable behaviors even with the highest level of distractions. You will learn the sheer power of recognizing and rewarding your dog's good choices, not just in training sessions but throughout your day-to-day life. You will learn ways to manage to minimize undesired behaviors and encourage desirable ones. And you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to problem solve on your own in the future!
We also talk a lot about the human end of the leash. How to be a "rock" for your dog. How our emotions and behaviors can be helpful or hindering to seeing progress in our dog's behavior. We talk about your dog's physical wellness and their overall wellbeing, and how those play into their behavior.
