Classes utilize proven, science-based training principles based on research conducted by internationally renowned psychologist and behaviorist, B.F. Skinner.
To help dogs retain positive behaviors, our classes keep a dog's mind engaged and in a constant state of learning while our trainers closely observe how dogs are responding to their pet parents to optimize training. This includes:
Dog-friendly communication – rewarding good and ignoring inappropriate behavior
Instruction – guidance from our professional dog trainers on how to teach a behavior and cater to a dog's specific needs
Enrichment – keeping a dog's mind engaged by encouraging dog to identify what behavior is being rewarded
