Building Blocks to a Better Bond: Essential Obedience for a Well-Behaved Dog
We are consistent in our dog training principles and methods. Consistency is essential, as it involves applying the same rules, expectations, training methods, and using the same cues. Ensuring that everyone interacting with the dog for training is consistent and on the same page creates a predictable and secure environment for the dog, laying a foundation for them to learn more effectively, build trust with their handler, and develop the desired behaviors.
Positive reinforcement dog training is both a methodology and a technique that involves rewarding desired behaviors to increase the likelihood of those behaviors being repeated. It's a humane and effective method that fosters a strong bond between the dog and owner, accelerates and reinforces learning, and helps prevent behavioral issues.
Clear communication with your dog is a critical element in our training technique. It prioritizes consistent, understandable cues (verbal, visual, or physical) to convey which behaviors you desire and when, as well as which behaviors are undesirable. It is essential to understand the proper techniques to communicate, as this reduces confusion, builds trust, and makes training more efficient and enjoyable.
Our methods and success are rooted in understanding canine behavior, which involves knowledge of dog learning theories and psychology, as well as applying this knowledge to develop effective, positive-reinforcement-based methods. Tailoring our approach to each dog's needs, leads to a more successful training experience. Furthermore, it gives insight into how each dog communicates, what motivates them, and how to build a strong, trusting relationship.
