Ideally every day. But that can be difficult. You can do very simple things, like two or three commands before they eat. We will discuss this in our consultation.
That is correct I do not do this full-time. I have a day job. I train dogs because I LOVE IT. I want owners to have amazing relationships with their dogs as I do with mine.
Absolutely, anyone living in the home with the dog should be part of the training
There is no need ever to be rough or physical with a dog. Your dog and you must enjoy training.
Never. Aggression met with aggression breeds aggression. Once you become rough and physical with your dog. You are telling your dog that physical aggression is okay in the relationship. Read my blog about dominance. Book a consultation.
Let’s discuss your needs. You may find that you do not need to pay for additional training.
Anyone can stress a dog to the point of not reacting anymore. That is not dog training, that is abuse.
We can help decondition your dog and get you moving in the right ethical direction.
I was told that training collars are painful and can cause damage to my dog. So why do you use them?
A flat buckle collar can cause damage to the dog if used incorrectly. Training collars are just tools, they are no better or worse than the person using them. Your dog should never cry in pain from using any training tools or methods. Training collars should be annoying, not painful.
Purely positive dog training does not understand competing motivators or basic psychology. If the rabbit running through the yard is more motivating than the treat you have, the dog will chase the rabbit. That is why we use Operant Conditioning along with classical conditioning to train dogs. True obedience.
