Training Philosophy
Communication
Behavioral Science has taught us that in order for a dog to understand why they were rewarded/corrected it needs to occur within 1-2 seconds of their behavior. Failure to bridge the gap between behavior and reward/correction causes stress for the dog and inhibits the learning process. Owners are often left with a dog that will only listen when they have food in hand, will only hold positions for a moment, and that do not understand verbal commands. My training system includes proven science-based communication system that will let you dog know exactly what you like and don’t like. Cut learning time in half and watch your dog learn to love training.
Motavation
Motivation is at the core of every decision our dogs make. Does your dog listen ok at home but blow you off at the park, when another dog is in sight, or when guest come over? If so then your dog’s motivation is out of balance. They are telling you that they rather interact with things in the environment than you. Many training systems skip right over motivation. They start by jumping into training and trying to teach behaviors. That results in unfair corrections to the dog. In my training system we start by maximizing your dog motivation to work for you. Training them becomes not only fun for the dog and owner but much more effective. Your dog will start to drive and push you to do a training session with them. Giving you focus even in the presents of other dogs playing, joggers, wildlife, when they are off leash, and when guest arrive in your home. You will learn how to select the most motivating reward, how to change the way you give your dog rewards to increase motivation, and how to make training part of everyday interactions to increase your reps.
Leadership
Leadership in modern dog training has nothing to do with dominating your dog or “alpha rolling” them. Learn to how to gain the respect of your dog while also building trust, confidence, and a great relationship with them. Leadership is about setting your dog up for success. This includes: not putting them in situations they are not ready for, not allowing people to interact with them that will undo your training plan, and sticking to your training plan to the end. I will show you simple things to add into your everyday life that will become second nature for you and help keep you on track with leadership.
