Dog Training Professional

My Method

I have seen many different “methods” of training, the “newest fads”, the “latest tools and equipment” and the overwhelming amount of “self-help” training gadgets over the course of my years of experience, learning and continuing education. I do not have extreme views towards one type of training method or another. I do not focus on what I think is the best or newest methods. In fact, I do not think about training methods at all. Once I meet my client and the owner(s) and find out what their needs are and what they would like to accomplish is when I start formulating what methods and techniques might work best. Every dog, every owner, every family and every home environment is different. Getting to know the dog, the owner(s) and where they are spending most of their time is very important. Getting to know what their needs and expectations are is the top priority. When I put these together, I can create a training plan that works best for the client and the owner(s). Not all training is successful and not all expectations can be met. That is where my years of experience and my “tool box” of knowledge helps. My client, the owner(s) and I can brainstorm other possibilities to move forward with a new set of expectations and sometimes adding new methods and techniques to alter the training plan. I do my best to make sure our outcome is successful by working closely with my client and the owner(s) on what methods and techniques are working best, teaching those correctly and reinforcing them. A well trained, well-adjusted client makes for happy owner(s), which in turn makes for a happy household and family!
