What Will I Learn In Class?
You will learn the latest dog training techniques and skills to enhance your dog’s well-being. Mental, Physical, and Emotional well-being are necessary for a dog to focus, be happy, and respond to you.
Skills taught use reward-based methods and are considered foundational behaviors. While your dog may know the basics, practicing with real-life distractions is critical to obedience or life skills. Training your dog is only half the job; teaching you is the other half.
- Zones of Reinforcement
- Marker Training Concepts
- Communication Tool, How Dogs Learn, How Dogs Communicate
- How to Use the Behaviors Learned in Public and at Home.
- Special Skills are dependent on the topic of the class!

What is Behavior Modification?
Examples of behavior issues that require behavior modification training are:
- reactivity to strangers or dogs on walks
- excessive barking at the door
- behaviors driven by big emotions (fear & anxiety)
We can help provide relief for you and your dog in a friendly and humane manner. This works by changing undesirable behaviors through counterconditioning and desensitization. For best results, a variety of training skills and implementation of management and safety protocols are part of the plan. Read more about what we train for…
