Behavior Training
No two dogs learn the same way, and it would be a waste of time to try. Before we begin any sessions, we like to first meet you and your dog and learn their habits. This allows us to have a better understanding of their needs and will help us customize a program for them. Additionally, we like to meet dogs inside their homes where they are most comfortable. Doing it this way gets a clear look at their behaviors in their own environment.
Clicker Training
Another effective training method is clicker training. Essentially, clicker training uses a clicking sound to signal that your dog did something right at a specific time. Dogs catch on quickly that a click = a treat. Eventually, the click will become a reward in itself because your dog will have associated the sound with a treat. The best benefit to using clicker training is it’s consistent and sends a clear signal to your dog.
Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement rewards your dog for good behavior. The best way to make this an effective tool is by finding out what motivates your dog. Usually, dogs are food driven so they are given treats. Some dogs respond better to praise and affection, others favor a favorite toy. Consistency is absolutely vital when it comes to teaching dogs new behaviors through positive reinforcement. Everyone at home must be on board to make this training successful!
