Reward-Based Training
Our training revolves around the manipulation of rewards. We utilise reward in various forms – food, play, praise, and opportunity – to encourage and award the display of positive behaviour. The concept behind this is simple – If you wouldn’t work for free, why would they? The presence of a reward incentive is crucial in endorsing an increase in frequency of desired behaviour and in combination with progressive proofing; we would then have a new behaviour in a dog’s natural repertoire.
This reward-based training style is also individually tailored to every dog, as we believe in communicating and interacting with dogs at a common level of understanding. Synonymous to childhood education, providing an optimum-learning environment that consists of a proper proofing of
area, the provision of a good routine, supplemented with early prevention programs and proper education, is the key to a good dog. The only difference is that we don’t speak their language.
We have personally seen the effect of consistent positive reinforcement come to fruition in many of the dogs that have come through us. This fuels our passion and dedication in aiding dogs and their owners easily integrate to become a responsible member of the community.
