Obedience & Behavior Modification Training
We employ positive reinforcement as our primary teaching method, supplemented by balanced techniques as required.
For addressing behavioral issues, our approach integrates desensitization, counter conditioning, and effective management strategies. Our focus is on identifying and resolving the root causes of problems, aiming for long-term solutions rather than merely addressing symptoms.
Individual dogs can have vastly different needs so what we cover during our sessions will vary and be customized according to the dog and your needs. Some general examples of things we cover are:
-
Markers
Engagement
Work-To-Eat/Feeding by Hand
Luring/Touch
Impulse Control
Free Shaping
-
How to Walk Nicely on a Leash
Sit
Down
Place
Come
Stay
Wait
