We are committed to using positive reinforcement training to create a peaceful home environment between you and your dog. Michaela Anne Collins has been training professionally since 2009. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed, a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and an Instructor for the DOG B.O.N.E.S. Therapy Dogs of Massachusetts organization. Michaela takes continuing education very seriously and has attended seminars in the dog education field with Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dr. Nicholas Dodman, Emma Parsons, Sue Steinberg, and Ken Ramirez. She has also attended the Karen Pryor's Clicker Expo, The Aggression in Dogs Conference since it's inception, The PPG Summit, and the IAABC Lemonade Conferences. Positive reinforcement training is the best way to create a peaceful home environment. In a force-free environment a reward based system is used to promote good behaviors. It is one of the most powerful tools to shape and change unwanted behavior. Group classes are designed to establish the foundation of basic manners and increase the level of difficulty to facilitate off leash obedience. Private training is tailored to address behavioral issues including separation anxiety, resource guarding, leash reactivity, bringing baby home, and facilitating positive relationships between children and dogs.
