Methodology

Tools and Techniques

A balanced approach to dog training utilizing operant conditioning and positive reinforcement is an effective and humane way of teaching dogs desirable behaviors. This technique takes advantage of an animal's natural instinct to learn from its environment, with rewards being used to reinforce good behavior. It encourages and praises the dog for achieving desired behaviors, promoting healthy and positive relationships between canines and their human owners. Moreover, this approach encourages patience, consistency and clear communication. Over time, this balanced approach can produce impressive results and a stronger bond between animal and trainer.
