Working Relationships
Work ethic is something we strive for with our personal dogs and our client dogs as well. You will hear us use words like engagement, motivation, involvement or participation. If you don’t have a dog that is willing to work, then you don’t have a dog you can easily communicate with.
Marker Training
Teaching your dog Marker Training is the easiest way to create a “speaking” relationship with your dog. This makes dog training much easier. Using a series of marker words, we can begin to acknowledge behaviours we like and behaviours we dislike. This system allows you to communicate with your dog in a way you never thought imaginable. The possibilities are endless when you begin to “speak” in a language your dog has learned to understand.
Building a Foundation
In dog training the term foundation is used to describe the beginning stages of client/dog relationships. It is a series of behaviours that we establish, in order for our clients and their dogs to better communicate. Think of a house foundation; you can't put a roof on until you've built a solid foundation and framed in the walls.
Behaviour Modification
We are sometimes in a rush to resolve our dog's unwanted behaviours, without first teaching the dog alternative behaviours. In each unit your dog will learn new skills that you can start implementing on a daily basis, making your dog a better version of himself.
