Pick of the
Litter Dog Training believes in positive, dog friendly approach
to training. We use a wide array of rewards and
motivation to teach dogs to be well mannered companions. We
know that rewards are specific to the animal, so we strive to find
the appropriate and most effective reward for each and
every dog we work with. We often use treats to reward good
behavior, but we also understand that your goal is to create a
dog that responds reliably to your cues, even without
treats. So, we teach you how to effectively wean treats
away when your dog is ready. We
know that behaviors are likely to occur again and again if they
are rewarded. We also know that unwanted behaviors can be
easily eliminated by teaching a better behavior as a replacement. These ideas are based on years
and years of scientific study of how animals learn. With
positive training techniques,
you will see permanent changes in your dog's behavior, which
will give you a lifetime of good behavior and a happy relationship.
Your dog will
eagerly participate in the training process and learn
how to respect your household rules. We
teach students about the important of having great timing.
We know that Clicker Training is
a effective way to teach your dog about good behavior, plus it
gives you great timing as their trainer. It also allows dogs
to become active participants in the training process,
which helps them learn faster and with greater precision.
You are certainly not required to use the clicker if you prefer
to go another route! We
teach students about the importance of being great leaders.
We know that positive leadership is important. We know that
dogs need rules and structure. As a student, you will
learn about leadership and the importance of life rewards. We
understand that each and every one of our students has different
goals. You make the final decision about which behaviors are
important to you and which behaviors aren't. We give you the
tools and techniques to train the behaviors that are
important to you, in the quickest and most reliable manner. We
DO NOT use choke chains, pinch collars, spray bottles, or shock
collars. We don't think these tools have any place in modern
dog training, especially when there are so many more effective
techniques available.
