FAQ 💘
-
Balanced dog training uses both positive reinforcement (like treats and praise) to encourage good behavior and fair corrections (such as leash pressure, e collar pressure or verbal cues) to discourage/redirect unwanted behavior. It focuses on clear communication, consistency, and trust, tailoring techniques to each dog's needs for effective results.

No, you should start with 1:1 training so that you can be prepared to effectively manage your dog and set you both up for success!

IT DEPENDS. If it is a tight space where puppies are expected to just play with each other, no. If there is structure and focusing on neutrality as the priority, yes. You can set your dog up to fail in this environments, especially if your dog is on the shy side. It will provoke them to be in defense drive.
-
Yes, this is a great option. We can talk through any challenges and come up with a plan for your future with your dog. If for any reason I find in person would be more beneficial I will recommend it. But that has happened rarely.
