Things to consider when deciding our class is right for your dog:
-Keep it real.
-Training that concludes with real world results takes time. It really does take a minimum of 6 steady weeks of training for your dog to attain a basic method of understanding to achieve a noticeable and productive outcome.
-Trained dogs are NEVER a “one and done” with training. A well trained dog requires training maintenance.
-Thorough training requires an atmosphere starting with minimal distraction by skilled, consistent training fundamentals that provide your dog with a clear mental picture to help develop an understanding of a model it will use for the remainder of life.
- We do not train in handler/dog group classes where several dogs are present at the same time. Group training can more often than not become too much of a distraction for many beginners training ,often leading to frustration and failure. Distraction training is used at this kennel only at an advanced level.
-Upon course completion , owners are familiarized with the training concept so dogs can start reading and understand the structure, input and value in their owners as they did with the trainers. It may take multiple return visits for owners, depending on the dog. (no charge for refresher visits)
-Owners are informed of the psychological /motivating factors (AKA “drives”) in their dog identified by the trainer to give them an upper hand when it comes to giving their dog what it needs for a successful reward or training session. (ball/toy drive, food drive, prey drive, praise drive)
As it should be, owners will become the number one master in the dog's life. Owners are expected to maintain basic fundamentals after the training is complete..
- Once dogs have completed the course, owners are independently trained on how to maintain the structure, value and input that has been shaped into their dog.
- Owners are provided with written follow up instruction as well as video recordings showing their dogs progress. Videos are also a learning tool to reference while in the maintenance phase of training.
- Owners are always welcome to continue their maintenance training with our kennel and it is free of charge as long as owners have been studious to the follow up.
-Training by a professional eliminates potential let down. Oftentimes owners do not have enough time to train dogs on a daily basis, and professional training eliminates problem solving/trouble shooting training hiccups that are commonplace to a training kennel environment.
-Psychological understanding of how a dog's brain works vs. human “thinking” is critical in determining the most effective way to shape your dog's behavior to get maximum results. Oftentimes we humans like to think, or compare our human attributes to our dogs and try to correct behaviors that lead to confusion and failure. This is called anthropomorphism and is innocently/accidentally introduced, but can have devastating effects on training.
