What should dog owners look out for in a dog trainer?
Education, credentials, experience, open-mindedness, patience, flexibility, personable, good communication skills with people as well as dogs.
What dog training methods and philosophy do you use?
Force free, positive reinforcement only.
Do you offer a guarantee?
No, because you can’t guarantee animal (or human) behavior. It would be unprofessional to offer a guarantee. We tell our clients that if they do the work, put in the time, and do EVERYTHING we guide them to do, they should absolutely see success. The ones that listen always do. 🙂
How do you make the learning fun for the dog?
We use toys, praise, food, and other things the dog likes, responds to, and is motivated by to increase learning. Using a dog’s favorite things makes learning much easier, quicker, and more fun for the dog and handler.
What services do you offer?
We offer 1 to 1 training in a client’s home.
What types of cases do you take on or refer out?
We handle all training and behavioral cases. The only thing we don’t handle and will refer out to a colleague is separation anxiety.
Why should people choose to work with us?
We stand out among the rest because of our education and credentials. Anyone can say they work with dogs because they had dogs all their life and watched dog shows on TV. I’ve had teeth all my life, but am not a dentist. 🙂 Dog behavior is a highly complex subject and our years of education in the field along with our years of experience make us extremely effective.
We know how to work with the toughest cases without resorting to pain or scaring a dog to “rehabilitate” them. The dogs’ safety and well-being are at the forefront of everything we do. We are very responsive, supportive, and encouraging of our clients and the amount of referrals we get shows that.
