Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase. We may have big goals for our dogs and that's really good. What is one tiny step you can take today that will get you in the direction of your goal?
Our training style is based on positive reinforcement, using food, toys, and experiences to play games. These games, conducted in your home and yard, help your dog develop essential mental skills for navigating the world. We focus on building skills like focus and disengagement rather than specific behaviors, allowing your dog to apply these skills in various situations.
Our training covers puppy basics such as housetraining, mouthing, crating, and home management. For dogs of all ages, we focus on skills like optimism, confidence, staying close to you, and disengaging from distractions, tailored to address your dog's specific challenges.
Herein lies the beauty of games based training! Practice is required as this is the only way our dog's behavior will change. If we don't influence behavior, the environment will and it's usually not in a good way. But gone are the days of regimented training sessions. With games based training, you get to play a game with your dog, about 1-3 minutes at a time, a few times daily. It's fun, practical, works with any schedule and with a little playful effort, you'll see improvement.
No prior training experience is needed! All you need is a willingness to learn, a desire to build a fun relationship with your dog, and the commitment to engage in a few short game sessions each day.
Absolutely! Our games-based training is effective for dogs of all ages. Whether your dog is young or old, they can benefit from reshaping their brain through fun and engaging games.
Games-based training can address a wide range of behavioral issues. However, for cases involving aggression or separation anxiety, I refer clients to specialists in those areas. Additionally, any medical issues that could affect training should be resolved with your veterinarian before starting our program.
