Methodology: Understanding and Correcting Behavior
We take the time to learn about each human and canine client to fully understand the pets’ behavioral issues, triggers, causes, and best course of action. We correct behavior while deepening human relationships and facilitating healing from past trauma.
- Balanced Techniques: We use a mix of positive reinforcement, careful corrections, and calming techniques to help pets better understand what is expected of them, and help them overcome anxiety and fear.
- Experience: Our trainer has over
20 years of dog handling experience with all sizes, breeds, ages, and abilities.
Tools & Methodologies
Positive Reinforcement Training: Rewarding desired behaviors.
Desensitization & Counter-Conditioning: Gradual, controlled exposure at levels the dog can handle.
Understanding Body Language & Stress Signals: Building trust and confidence by reading and respecting a dog's emotional state.
Management & Environmental Changes: Removing triggers during initial training and practicing concepts in a controlled environment.
Self-Awareness & Emotional Discipline: The trainer mindfully manages their mental state to ensure dogs don’t feel fearful of or threatened by their actions.
Careful Corrections & Redirection: Verbal corrections interrupt undesired behavior, followed by redirection to a desirable action and positive reinforcement.
