Training while walking offers proven synergystic advantages for faster learning and is the most practical and efficient way for your companion to receive both the physical and mental exercise it needs for optimum health and balance. A Thinking Dog is a Happier Dog. A Professional, Experienced Trainer works with your dog, One-on-One, using the most effective, science based, positive reinforcement methods. Harsh punishment is never employed in the process. Training Methods begin by teaching dogs to focus and pay attention. Then they combine physical exercise, mental challenges, fun play and small food treats as rewards for right decisions. Note that: food is not used as a lure or a bargaining agent to coax the dog into performing a particular behavior, but only used as a reward on a random basis after the dog has performed the behavior on its own. One extra session is provided each week to coach the owner with their dog both inside and outside the home. This is done to ensure the training will be consistently reinforced and transfered directly to the home environment. PROGRAMS OFFERED INCLUDE: 1. 3 WK. - BASIC WALKING - (3) 30 Min.
