Discovering the art of effective communication with your dog, regardless of their age, is essential for their safety and the promotion of good manners. Training extends beyond basic commands like “come,” “sit,” and “stay.” Through positive, rewards-based training, you’ll learn how to guide inappropriate behaviors into more desirable actions while rewarding positive conduct. Training is the solution to addressing numerous undesirable behaviors. Proper socialization is among the crucial elements for ensuring your family’s happiness with your furry family members.
Proper socialization is a fundamental component of your dog’s growth. It involves introducing them to other dogs and people while teaching them essential skills. Think of it as a kind of preschool for your furry companion. Our primary focus is to provide your dog with suitable outlets for their energy and to establish avenues for appropriate expression. This program places significant emphasis on proper socialization because many future behavior issues can be attributed to inadequate socialization.
During this part of the program, we’ll also address common issues such as nipping, jumping, and leash pulling. The ultimate goal is to equip your dog with the ability to learn effectively.
