We follow positive reinforcement and science-based training techniques. To get more technical, this means methods such as classical and operant conditioning, clicker training, and intentional use of reinforcers to enact behavioral changes. In other language, we use treats and praise! This does not mean that you have no boundaries with your dog, but it means that we teach those boundaries through reinforcing and teaching positive behaviors instead of adding pain to decrease negative behaviors.

To be simple, because that is where you will be spending the most time with your dog! Being in a new location can change a dog's behavior and we want to replicate your actual situation as much as possible while I'm there to help train. If you have more questions, please reach out or check out our blog page! We will soon be publishing a more intensive breakdown of this decision and the benefits.

That depends on a lot of factors. I know how difficult it can be when you are dealing with negative or unwanted behaviors from your dog. Every dog learns at a different speed and things such as timing, length of training sessions, and consistency of training sessions all plays into the efficacy of the training and the length of time it takes before the desired results will be reached. Please reach out with your specific desires and we will likely be able to give a more specific breakdown of what this means for your situation!
