Training Philosophy |
|
Our training philosophy is based on the positive reinforcement of a
desired behavior. We use Bil-Jac™ dog treats to encourage and reward
your dog to perform obedience as well as to redirect your dog's behavior.
We associate verbal obedience commands with hand signals to illicit more focused attention from your dog. Our Group Obedience Classes, Private Lessons, and Day School Program involve many playschool exercises based on teaching your dog what to do rather than what not to do. For example, when greeting people, we teach your dog to sit, rather than telling your dog not to jump. We also consider ourselves your personal trainers, available to answer all of your questions and concerns. You and your dog will become "bow-lingual" as you learn to communicate with each other through the language of obedience. Training your dog will strengthen the bond of love and respect between you. During your training experience at Dog School 101, you will be encouraged to reward your dog with a lot of touch, praise, and "smooch the pooch". |
