Our choice-based and structured self-discovery theory offers a balanced approach to make learning enjoyable. When we nurture a playful and relaxed disposition we achieve a more receptive and enthusiastic participant. Our individual and custom approach to addressing your dog’s strengths and weaknesses; are influenced by historical evidence, the most modern and recent scientific statistics/research, and creative results.
We will be covering appropriate social behaviors, household manners, a marker communication system, leash skills, and communication, basic commands (sit, down, heel, place, come, etc). Social exposure. Incorporating distance, duration, and distraction. We will shape the behaviors desired for your dog to interact in day-to-day life, we will condition and expose the dog to real-world activities and circumstances to show them desired expectations. After we have established and communicated our expectations for their behavior during various lifestyle circumstances and encounters; we will prove their reliability by making sure they understand there are fair, clear, and undesirable consequences by not performing to standard. Upon completion of any lodge and learn program; handlers/owners will get a 2-3 days handlers course to practice and function back at home and in various real-world settings. The handlers course is to provide assisted coaching and meticulous instruction and insight into custom behavioral needs, practical drills to improve skills and improve relationships. The foundation of the program, the resources available during/after the program, and the personalized assisted instruction is meant to target each home’s compatibility and maintenance success.
