A Rewarding BondDog ownership should result in a strong and rewarding bond between both the dog and its owner. Too often, simple problems get in the way and keep both the dog and its owner from experiencing a balanced and joyful relationship. Fortunately, at Canine Behavior Counseling, we have the skills to help! By providing owners with the proper information and training tools, such as the proper timing and method for rewards and corrections, the resulting relationship with their dog will become calm and happy.
A Positive Approach
Our approach to dog training is based on having a postive experience for both dog and owner. Positive reinforcement is the key: rewarding the dog for desired behavior creates a strong bond of loyalty and trust between the dog and its owner. Dogs want and need a confident leader! This is the balance we strive for, and it creates true joy for both the dog and its owner!
All of our training sessions are designed to create a positive connection between dog and owner, and to correct or prevent unwanted behavior. Our Puppy Socialization classes are active and fun, and build confidence early in a dogs development. This is important to avoid problems such as fearfulness or anxiety as a dog matures.
Group Obedience Training offers a more comprehensive set of skills for the dog and its owner. Offered in group sessions, this is a great way to build confidence and loyalty in a fun, social setting.
For more intensive individualized training, our Personalized One-to-one Counseling sessions are a great option. These sessions are offered at the owner’s home, and are tailored to the unique needs of the dog and its owner at the time. Problems such as incessant barking, door charging, aggressiveness towards dogs or people, and other more complex problems are best handled in one-to-one training sessions.
We specialize in helping dogs that are anxious, fearful, aggressive, dominant or simply undisciplined. These problems are more effectively addressed at the home, and we set up these sessions at convenient times for the dog owner. Plus, they are lots of fun too!
Dog ownership should be fun and rewarding, just like our
training sessions! Please
