My GOAL is to teach you the next behavior to ask for. This will enable you to have a Great relationship with your dog for years to come.
I want to Open the communication with the Nine Foundations of Positive Behaviors and build the bridge of behaviors to be offered. I am a Positive Reinforcement Fear Free Trainer. I offer ONE-ON- ONE Training and I train in your home.
Positive Reinforcement: follow a philosophy that if any possible behaviors that could be offered to a particular situation followed by a reward are more likely to occur in the future.
I have Nine Foundations of Positive Behavior in my Acquisition Class, where you and your dog acquire these behaviors. I will Teach and Reinforce the nine behaviors to become Known Behaviors ( ie; behaviors offered on cue in any given environment your dog is interacting in). Fear Free Environment follows a structured teaching pattern. If an inappropriate behavior is offered,. You will learn to identify the unwanted behavior to the dog. You will develop the ability to redirect the dog to behavior asked or a known behavior. You will reward, so your dog has an understanding of a preferred behavior to offer in a given environment; while acquiring the foundation behaviors. This type of training creates a dog whose primary motivation is based on earning a reward as opposed to avoiding a punishment. The more a dog offers positive behaviors, the more opportunities you and your dog will have together. This training program will be structured to teach the nine foundations of positive behaviors , to open the communication so your dog understands and demonstrates those foundation behaviors on cue. Puppies and Dogs learn while engaging in play. They learn when a situation is truly threatening and when it is not. I will use play to reinforce the nine positive behaviors, by teaching, reinforcing and interacting with your dog. I have developed Structured Play Games which teach, reinforce and create an interactive environment where you can practice the behaviors taught in class. You will learn to Act instead of Re-Act. You will learn to shape a positive behavior, give it a name then form patterns of behaviors to direct and redirect your dog when an inappropriate behavior is offered. You will be provided a class schedule where we will build the foundation behaviors step by paw. Each lesson builds upon the last to develop behaviors where you can specifically ask your dog to offer a behavior on cue.
