Frequently Asked Questions About Our Training Philosophy
What is positive reinforcement training?
Positive reinforcement training uses operant conditioning to shape behavior and help the dogs decode the words I teach them. It makes training fun and keeps the dogs motivated, too.
Do you use training collars or other equipment?
While I almost exclusively use positive reinforcement, there are times when the dog, the client, or an animal’s (typically a cat’s) life is in danger. In these cases, I will use training collars to create a negative association with a dangerous action or situation.
How long will it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the dog, the behaviors being addressed, and your consistency with training. Virtually all clients see improvement within the first lesson, though.
What treats should I use for training?
I recommend small, high-value treats that your dog loves but only gets during training. We can discuss specific recommendations during your session.
Do you train the dog or the owner?
I train both! My approach focuses on teaching you how to communicate effectively with your dog, ensuring lasting results.
