What Methods Do You Train With?
At Paws N Recreation LLC the focus is not on labels, but on what motivates the dog and achieves desired results.
We are proud to have built our training style without the use of popular dog training tools such as choke, prong, e-collars or physical manipulation. We have established a style of training that strengthens cooperation and builds a willingness to engage through the thoughtful and deliberate use of toys, food, natural breed specific tendencies and innate character trait of the individual dog.
We use clear and concise communications to decrease frustration and optimize performance. We understand all the quadrants of R+, R-, P+, P-, but choose to focus on intentional applications of R+ and understand when the strategic and calculated use of R- and P- is warranted, and we strive to avoid all intentional use of P+.
If this description of our training method was not sufficient, please reach contact us for further clarification. We strive for transparency and want you to feel confident in our methods just as much as we are.
Will you work with Clients who train differently than you?
Yes! We will meet you where you are in your training journey. Our goal is that you feel confident and can achieve your goals using our training style. While your dog is in our care, we abide by our style of training and guiding principles.
