Doggy Talk
Your dog is always talking to you, in obvious and subtle ways. It's important to understand what she's saying so that you know how to respond in ways that she can understand too. The Doggy Talk method of training is about good communication between you and your four-legged friend. Clarity, consistency, and timing are key, along with a lot of LOVE.
Reward
I am a reward trainer because it works! Everything that your dog loves (Including YOU!) can be used as a motivator to achieve the ideal behavior. Reward desired behavior THE MOMENT it happens and your dog will want to repeat it.
Ignore
Dogs will continue with unwanted behaviors that are getting them what they want but will stop those behaviors when they no longer do. Ignoring your dog, when done strategically, is often an excellent way to get your pooch to try something else that is attention worthy!
Attention
Do you lose your dog's attention when he sees another dog, person, or squirrel? It's important that YOU are the most exciting thing he turns to when faced with potential distractions. I will show you how to become the squirrel!
Counter Condition
There is a myriad of scenarios that might make your dog act out. I will teach you the skills you need to help turn those reactive behaviors into calmer happy ones.
Patience
We can't force our fur babies to do what we want but we can guide and INSPIRE them. In addition to this, the road to getting the perfect pup is PATIENCE, and trusting the training process.
I am confident I can help!
