With so many people popping up with "new" methods, it can be very confusing when you are looking for a trainer. A good trainer realizes that each dog is different and needs to be reached in different ways. Trainers need experience in a WIDE variety of dogs and situations in order to be effective.
In other words, one method will not work for every dog.
Obedience Training is one of the best things you can do for your dog... and you!
We always begin shaping behaviors with obedience. During training classes we cover the seven basics of obedience: Sit, Down, Stay, Drop it, Leave it, Heel and Come. Obedience training opens the door of communication and understanding between dog and owner. Most dogs love to work for you (e.g. performing obedience commands). Moreover, working for you acknowledges you as the pack leader. When your dog sits when asked, he is showing compliance and respect for your leadership. All dogs seek out a social hierarchy, it's what comes natural to them in a pack. Obedience training is an easy way to establish a social hierarchy.
Effective communication is the key to teaching your dog what behaviors are acceptable and what are not. Understanding why your dog behaves the way he does is vital in communication. Dogs are very social creatures and without proper training, they will not be successful in the human world. Most behaviors are perfectly normal activities in the canine world but are not acceptable in the human environment. The key to preventing behavior problems is teaching your dog to redirect natural behavior in ways that are acceptable in the human environment.
We believe that setting a dog up for success and accepting you as Leader is crucial to the wonderful relationship that is possible between humans and their dogs. Please call us and let us help you be the Leader of your pack.
NOTE: Please DO NOT try to establish yourself as "ALPHA" by using alpha rolls. You can establish yourself as a Leader in much more effective ways.
