People often ask, “Can you give me some information on your training?”
This is it.
Clear communication and consequences for your actions!
Unless I walk into a home with a puppy under six months old, chances are the dog can already sit, give paw, and maybe even sit pretty. None of that is what I offer.
What I offer is a way to clearly communicate with your dog what you like and what you don’t like, in a way they can actually understand.
I use food, praise and affection to reinforce the behaviours I like. I use pressure to correct the behaviours I don’t like. I spend time teaching dogs how to properly respond to my verbal markers and how to understand right from wrong.
Once they understand the rules, I give them choices.
Make the right choice and you get reinforced. Make the wrong choice and there are consequences.
I use prong collars, slip leashes, E-collars, crates, food, toys, play and affection as tools to establish the foundation of clear communication, accountability and leadership through the leash.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Tools aren’t good or bad. They’re simply tools. It’s the person using the tool that matters.
I’ve seen people enrich their dogs’ lives with E-collars, and I’ve seen people create problems by relying too heavily on food & over feeding. Yet one tool gets a bad reputation while the person holding the tool often escapes accountability.
My goal isn’t simply to teach your dog a bunch of behaviours.
My goal is to teach you and your dog how to communicate clearly, understand each other, and live together with structure, freedom and accountability.
If you’re willing to hold both yourself and your dog accountable for your actions, I believe we could be a great match and that you’ll benefit greatly from our time together.
If that’s not what you’re looking for, I’m probably not your guy — and that’s okay.
I genuinely wish you and your dog success going forward.👊🏾🐾
