At Pawsitive Transformations my work is finding your dog's drive, using games and techniques that your pup finds fun. I will work with you, teaching you how to keep your dog's attention and engagement as your dog learns through positive reinforcement and successive approximation. The other key factor is successive approximation. Shaping, or as it's formally known, āshaping by successive approximat
ions,ā means breaking down a behavior into tiny increments, and reinforcing the dog at each incremental step until you've achieved the full behavior. Through these methods, I will teach you how to clearly and effectively communicate. Your dog will be excited and eager to learn, using a positive approach to motivate your dog with enthusiasm and respect instead of fear and pain, the result will be a well-behaved and balanced dog. If you currently use electronic collars, prong collars, or choke collars, I will gladly work with you and your pup to transition away from pain and use positive reinforcement and successive approximation techniques. Benefits of these techniques:
ā¢ Builds a strong bond with your dog based on trust and respect.
ā¢ Avoids increasing anxiety or aggression.
ā¢ Uses fun, easy training methods for the entire family.
ā¢ Provides mental stimulation, preventing boredom and problem behaviors.
ā¢ Allows a dog to choose, without fear of repercussions. I believe that training should involve the entire family. I will work with all of you so that your relationship is happy, healthy, and with clear boundaries & expectations! Training should be fun and involve every one of any age and ability!
