MOTIVATIONAL DOG TRAINING
We believe in a motivational-based training program for you and your beloved pet. Our philosophy is that you, as an owner, can be a trusted “pack leader” in a manner that teaches, supports, and motivates your dog without using fear or intimidation. Learning how to properly use your voice and body movements, while also building confidence, is an integral part of our training program.
WHY DOES THIS WORK?
It is your dog’s instinct to want to please you. We believe in changing a dog’s behavior by taking teachable moments and creating success while rewarding positive behavior. This is created through three phases that include teaching, practicing, and testing, which leads to a confident dog who believes in him/herself. By combining our expertise in dog training, along with providing compassion and support, you and your pup will be sure to develop a lifelong harmonious relationship.

Home management skills will address behaviors such as marking issues, puppy nipping and biting, barking, counter surfing, and other common issues.

Your dog will enjoy learning more advanced commands as we continue to build on canine vocabulary. Commands such as sit (good greeting manners), auto sit, leave it, down (eliminating sit first), release word, stand, finish, back, and many others. Our trainers focus on refining and tuning your basic handling skills. There will be a primary focus on loose leash walking for enjoyable walks as your puppy is almost full-grown. We continue to work on home issues such as: Jumping up, nipping, biting, eating rocks or toys, and digging. We also include time for free play, so the dogs learn to interact and play appropriately.

In Basic Obedience II, the commands will be more challenging and warrant more precision. We help refine your timing and communication skills with your pet throughout the course. We will guide you on how to improve your pet’s ability to ignore common distractions that can sometimes interfere with dog training. More advanced commands are taught in this class such as: Stop, back up, door safety, heel, settle, stand, and handling. There will be a focus on a reliable recall which can be a life saving command, and we will work with you to ensure you are completely confident in your dog’s total progress. After completing Basic Obedience II, get ready for the next canine challenge – The Canine Good Citizen Test!

This is a behavior modification class designed for those dogs that overreact in public settings towards humans, canines, or both. The behaviors displayed are generally disruptive with aggressive tendencies which usually manifest in the form of barking, lunging, growling, baring teeth, and snapping.
This class will help desensitize your dog to the object that makes them feel uncomfortable and give you the tools and confidence to successfully manage the situation. We accomplished this through positive motivation and redirection techniques.

This class will help you learn the techniques you need to have to walk your dog politely on a leash without pulling, lunging, or dragging and learn not to jump on your family and friends! We will discuss equipment options, training methods, and practice techniques for keeping your dog focused on YOU during your walks.

In this clinic, we’ll focus on recall games and show you how you can build a solid, reliable recall in a fun and easy way!

Our Board & Train dogs are our beloved guests and stay with us for a full 30 days while we train using motivational-based techniques that reward positive behavior. Modifying a dog’s behavior is not a quick fix. It requires consistency, along with positive reinforcement, which in turn leads to motivated learning over time.
- Socialization skills are enhanced through our PLAYtrain® Doggie Daycare program where pets are placed in a specialized playgroup
- We teach them to be well behaved in public places and with new people
- We focus on their growth and development
Each Board & Train program is personalized to meet the needs of your dog. We master basic commands, curb aggression, and train your dog to be a well-adjusted, mentally healthy, family dog that will learn to behave at home and with others. At the end of the training program, we will transfer the training techniques to you for continued and consistent use. The transformations speak for themselves. See us working with Zoey!
