Offering much more than just training and behavior modification, Nana & a Dog's Eye View has helped thousands throughout her career establish clear communication with their dogs and pups, maximizing their interactions and develop cooperative partnerships making life easier, more enjoyable for all involved. Training practical in its application, flexible in nature, ability to modify and meet clients' needs working realistically within clients' parameters to ensure their success, both human and canine clients alike. Incorporating the scientific principles of operant and classical conditioning with the study of animal behavior, a Dog’s Eye View blends ethology, dogs' natural instincts, scientific principles, the laws of learning with love, affection and play to build the best relationships ever creating communication dogs and pups naturally understand and willingly respond to. With reward based operant training our dogs and pups are active participants in the process - it is something we do with them, not to them. This interactive training process is a game of problem solving. The interactive game itself is reinforcing and rewarding for our dogs and pups. In learning how to problem solve our dogs and pups become thinkers, they learn faster, focus longer, are more responsive, adjusting, self-assured and make better choices. A dog who is thinking is not reactive. Understanding and applying the laws of learning effectively provides you the tools to continue your dog's education on your own and gives you the freedom to teach your pup anything you like and whatever you need. A healthy relationship built on trust, happy well-adjusted, well-behaved dogs and pups that are easy to live with and act appropriately without being told is the goal.
