Our dogs are a reflection of our standard. 🐕🔥
At Hunter Canine Dog Training, we don’t just train client dogs all day and call it quits.
Before work. After work. On our breaks. We’re training our own dogs too.
Every personal dog on our team is working toward a tangible goal. PSA, explosives or narcotics detection, service dog work, and other real world applications.
Of course, our dogs are expected to have the fundamentals. Obedience, recall, neutrality, settling, reliability, and the ability to function appropriately in everyday life.
But we take it further.
We train with PURPOSE. We set goals. We test our training. We identify weaknesses. We learn. And we keep raising the standard.
Some of the dogs you see us working right now are dogs we’re developing and learning with as we prepare for future dogs and even bigger goals in competitive and working dog training.
One thing I’m huge on with my trainers is accountability with our own dogs.
As trainers, we should be willing to put our own work to the test. Our dogs give us an opportunity to sharpen our timing, mechanics, problem solving, handling, and understanding of behavior without a client paying us to learn.
This goes beyond tricks.
It goes beyond a Canine Good Citizen certificate.
We want to pursue real goals with measurable outcomes and continually become more capable dog trainers.
Because this isn’t something we only do when we clock in.
We genuinely love training dogs.
We spend all day developing our clients’ dogs, and then we go home and keep developing our own.
That’s the culture we’re building at Hunter Canine. 🐾
Train. Learn. Test. Improve. Repeat.
