Our Story
Dog Training with the use of positive reinforcement, is a scientifically based, animal friendly method aiming to teach dogs basic cues and behaviours. Through appropriate training and magement strategies, Positive Training can assist in correcting potential problematic behaviours and / or phobias.
By using Positive Training techniques, we teach the dog and his parents to focus on the desired behaviours (what we would like our dog to do). By rewarding the dog for every constructive behaviour that he does, we create a Positive Association between the act and its result (reward), thus giving the necessary motivation to the trainee-dog to repeat it. Both trainer and trainee benefit from this method and they manage to create a beautiful relationship, based on mutual trust, communication and cooperation.
In a similar manner, we can manage undesired behaviours. By taking primarily preventative measures, ignoring or redirecting it or by removing the factor that causes it we manage to reduce and gradually eliminate this behaviour.
It is of the uttermost importance to rule out any medical reasons behind specific, mostly undesired behaviours. This is why we will provide a Profile form for completion (after initial enquiry) to get important information on your dog's behavioural and medical history, as well as his/her current living conditions. Sometimes, a referral to veterinarian and/or a veterinary behaviourist is necessary.
