Training & Methodology

Vision Statement:
All dogs are trained through positive reinforcement methodologies.  These methods will develop a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

Behavior Training for Dogs uses positive reinforcement as the teaching methodology. This method, scientifically backed by numerous studies and research, emphasizes developing the desired behavior through the use of positive reinforcement. The training methodology is designed to take advantage of 'natural' training opportunities, utilizing frequent, random 15 to 30 second training sessions that can occur throughout the day in order to accomplish training goals. The program is designed to be relaxed so it is comfortable, fun, and effective for both the companion dog and the owner. 

The different dog training services that we offer include Family Companion Dog Training, Behavior Training, as well as more specialized topics such as Service Dog Training, Dogs With a Bite History and Help With House Training. For more information on these services, the topics they will cover, and their respective costs, please head to the Time & Cost page.
