Why do I need to train my dog
Owning a dog or puppy is a significant responsibility. Without the understanding or proper training techniques to effectively 
communicate with your dog, relationships can deteriorate, and the newest family member may become less enjoyable than anticipated.
Dog training serves two important purposes.
- Firstly, it helps build confidence in your dog and engages their brain in problem-solving and information processing, providing essential mental stimulation.
- Secondly, it fosters a trusted bond between the dog and their owner.
By understanding how to communicate with your dog, you can greatly reduce frustration for both yourself and your furry companion.
Remember, dog and puppy training is an ongoing process, and dogs never stop learning. Our goal is to make dog training enjoyable for the entire family!
What is positive reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement training is based on rewards. Rewards can come in the form of food, praise, toys, or anything that motivates the dog. Using rewards-based puppy training ensures that your dog will consistently repeat the desired behavior. Scientific studies have proven that dogs learn quickly and more consistently when trained without fear.
Identifying what motivates your dog or puppy is key to achieving effective results. We prioritize providing training that is enjoyable and free from fear or intimidation.
Our Maryland dog training is committed to never using pain or intimidation methods. Our goal is to build a lasting and trusting relationship with your dog through the use of positive reinforcement, which is backed by scientific research.
We educate and demonstrate to our clients the effectiveness of positive reinforcement training methods. Our clients witness noticeable results, and their dogs or puppies become motivated to learn and engage in training.
