Our Dog Training Philosophy
Our dog training philosophy is each dog is unique and should be trained according to their individual needs. Each dog should be evaluated to determine the best development path to ensure its success. We remove the cookie-cutter approach and look at what your dog’s training needs really are.
Our dog training theory is built around three training principles. These principles are the core ingredients to behavior modification. This remains true whether training the family pet or teaching a police dog to find drugs. Understanding how these principles work is the secret to clear communication between you and your dog.

01.
Timing is Key in Dog Training
Dogs associate behaviors with rewards or consequences within just 1.3 seconds. Delayed praise or reprimands can confuse them and weaken the training impact. Ensure immediate responses to help your dog clearly understand and connect the behavior with the outcome.
02.
Consistency Strengthens Dog Training
Consistency is essential for clear communication with your dog. React the same way every time to reinforce or discourage behaviors, ensuring your response occurs within 1.3 seconds. This helps your dog understand expectations and prevents confusion in training.
03.
Understanding Your Dog's Motivation
The final key to effective dog training is understanding what motivates your dog. Motivation can be positive, like treats or praise, or negative, like withholding attention. Reinforce good behaviors with positive rewards and discourage unwanted actions with clear, negative responses to guide your dog’s decision-making effectively.
Competition Field Trial Dog Training
Our dog trainers also actively compete in a variety of dog sports. We have competed in Agility, AKC obedience, French ring, Mondioring, IPO, Protections Sports of America, and many more. Due to years of experience on the trial field, we can assist with those owners who have goals of competing in specific sports or even the show ring.
