We believe that dogs who are regularly engaged in learning, socialization, and enrichment make the happiest companions. We provide unique opportunities for your dog’s learning in each of our programs!
OUR SOCIALIZATION PHILOSOPHY
Dogs who are well-socialized are exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, smells, and textures. Brief exposures to this variety of stimuli are paired with positive reinforcements to create good associations in your dog’s mind. Well-socialized dogs can acclimate quickly to new environments, follow cues in stimulating environments, and behave in socially desirable ways among other people and dogs. There are a lot of misconceptions about socialization, and we educate our clients on what constitutes good socialization practices. We tailor our socialization plans to your dog’s particular needs. Together, we can help your puppy grow into a well-socialized dog.
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Training is critical to developing a healthy relationship with your dog. Training and learning is an ongoing process through your dog’s life. We make training fun for both you and your dog!
ABOUT OUR METHODS
We use evidence-based, force-free methods in training. We focus on positive reinforcement and management to strengthen desired behaviors and extinguish undesirable ones.
What happens when your dog gets something right?
When your dog does something right during training, we reinforce that behavior with food, praise, and play. We teach our clients how to use positive reinforcement to strengthen desired behaviors.
What happens when your dog gets something wrong?
First, we determine why your dog was not successful. Second, depending on the behavior and the reasons for the unsuccessful behavior, we will make a plan to help your dog be successful in the future. Our plan might include adjusting training mechanics, ignoring the unsuccessful behavior, or managing the environment to prevent the undesired behavior.
We do not use or endorse methods that cause your dog fear, pain, or discomfort.
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
We are behavior professionals! Our staff is educated in canine body language and behavior. We strive to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable.
