With an understanding of what is normal dog behavior, Faithful Friends helps you create a training plan individualized to you and your dog’s needs. By adhering to the LIMA principle (Least Invasive/Minimally Adversive), Faithful Friends promotes effective, humane, dog- and people-friendly training techniques based in current learning theory and animal behavior research. Set your dog up for success through coaching sessions that will build trust, and enrich your bond and relationship. By utilizing the foundation of positive reinforcement, find the root of your dog’s problem behaviors and discover how to prevent them from happening in the first place. Science and research shows us that behavior that is reinforced will be repeated. Learning happens whether you like it or not, so rather than punish him for doing something wrong (reactive), why not reinforce your dog for doing something right (proactive)? Have faith in your friend! In return you will be greeted by a dog that is eager to learn and is a joy to live with. Whether you choose one-on-one coaching in the home, convenient day training or group classes, your heart will be in the right place with Faithful Friends Dog Training.
