Training should be simple and effective. However, in order for you to train day to day it should be fun, worthwhile and motivating for you and your dog.
Training a dog begins with preventing problems. This brings results. In the meantime, new behaviors can be instilled that replace bad behaviors. I base my techniques on motivation and reinforcement training emphasizing learning theory..
There is not just one way to teach or one way to learn. My approach is to make obedience a game for your dog so they are want more whether that game is HEEL, COME, or SIT.
For basic dog and puppy issues, motivators are always at the center of the circle. We will prevent inappropriate behaviors from happening, use motivation and rewards (food and life rewards such as going outside), and train in alternatives so your dog can gradually earn the freedom within the household we want to grant them! |
