Motivating Canine AVS and IAABC Accredited Dog Trainer. Fear Free Certified Trainer. Certified Family Dog Mediator

Motivating Canine offers a range of 1 to 1 private Fear Free training services to help your furkid. Apart from general dog training, Motivating Canine specialises in attending to rescued dogs of all ages through motivational techniques. These techniques use rewards and positive reinforcement to mould a dog's behaviour, rather than fear and punishment. Our Trainer Jennifer is IAABC Accredited Dog Trainer, AVS Accredited Dog Trainer, Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer, Certified Family Dog Mediator. Being a member of IAABC, members are to adhere to the use of LIMA, also known as least intrusive, minimally aversive training methods. This means creating training plans with the most humane and effective training methods that are most likely to succeed in the training or behavior change. LIMA does not justify the use of punishment in lieu of other effective interventions and strategies. In the vast majority of behavior cases, desired behavior change can be affected by focusing on the animal’s environment, physical well-being, and operant and classical interventions such as differential reinforcement of an alternative behavior, desensitization, and counter-conditioning. Motivating Canine understands the possible worries, stresses or frustrations that resulted from the dog's behavioural issues. The goal for Motivating Canine is to help dog owners and their dogs build a healthier long-term relationship with better understanding, trust and bond through motivation, positive association, fear free and reward base training methods.

Bailey impressed her pawrents during her outdoor confidence-building session. We switched Bailey to a longer leash and guided her mummy on long-leash management to encourage decompression walks through loose-leash handling.

To support a gradual, bell-curved arousal cycle, we started and ended the session with intensive nosework using Bailey’s favorite snuffle mat.

Thanks to her mummy’s diligent efforts on her homework, Bailey was able to stroll through the park with no reactivity at all. Instead, she calmly observed her environment and stayed engaged with her mummy. This was a huge contrast to her past walks, where Bailey would pull in panic and loudly vocalize her fear at almost anything bigger than her.

Confidence building is a true team effort. We are so glad that Bailey’s mummy is so patient and determined to help her. While building confidence takes time, we are certain Bailey will continue to progress alongside her pawrents.

Big welcome to Coco and her pawrents who has joined us for her Project ADORE Programme!

On a typical day, Bailey reacts strongly to auditory triggers such as traffic, construction noise, garbage trucks, and screaming children, as well as visual triggers like pedestrians, cyclists, shopping trolleys, etc. The overwhelming stress will lead to her pulling hard on the leash to rush home.

The goal of our outdoor session is to help her navigate these triggers by building positive associations and encouraging decompression walks focused on sniffing.

Beautiful Ella is so blessed to be adopted into a home with loving people who are extremely patient and understanding towards her emotional fears. During our session, we demonstrated how to make Ella feel more comfortable with the family helper so that she can put the harness on Ella and take Ella out for walks without her mummy.

In a multi-dog household, safety management is always top priority. One fight can lead to more fights in future. Hence it is important for everyone in the family to know how to prevent fights from occurring, and how to avoid creating negative associations between the dogs.

Our session with Mobi and Tobi's family was to demonstrate and guide them how to handle having multi-dogs in their home, and various protocols to prevent resource guarding behaviours.

Chubby impressed his family with how quickly he learned to remain calm and settled on his mat, even when there was activity at the door and the possibility of a guest entering the home.

His ability to maintain this calm behaviour despite the distraction, demonstrates excellent progress in self control.

We had a pleasant day meeting beautiful Ro-ka and her family who absolutely adores Ro-ka. Our session with Ro-ka and her family is to help them bring down her arousal state so that she can learn to relax instead of constantly being hyped.
