Enter Reward Your Dog Training:
Transformative Training that Builds Trust & Skills
What really matters in dog training?
Focus on what matters!
Reward Your Dog Training utilizes ethical, rewards-based training with a focus on building a trusting relationship with your canine partner.
In our sessions, you will learn to meet your dog’s needs, be an effective teacher, and build a strong, harmonious relationship.
Most of the training uses something your dog wants to work for, like food, toys, affection, and other motivators that your dog enjoys.
And we will work to give your dog as much choice and control as possible to help them feel comfortable and confident.
Let’s do this - but make it do-able!
We will custom-tailor the training so that it feels possible for you. All dogs and their people come with a unique combination of needs and skills.
By setting the environment up so that you and your dog can succeed, you can focus on teaching your dog what to do. No harsh methods necessary!
With this gentle, effective approach, you build your dog’s - and your - confidence and skills. And I will use the same gentle, kind methods to teach you
what to do. Because you deserve the same care and kindness as your dog.
The scientific consensus is that scaring or hurting your dog is not necessary for effective training.
I am committed to low stress training practices that leave you and your dog feeling happy, healthy and whole.
