Expert dog training with results! 

 

 

Why do I need to train my dog?

Owning a dog or puppy is a huge responsibility.  If owners do not have the understanding nor training techniques on how to effectively communicate with their dog, then relationships deteriorate and can result in the newest family member being less enjoyable than the family had hoped. 

Training your dog works two fold – Firstly,  it helps build confidence in your dog, it gets the dogs brain working to solve problems and process information resulting in well needed mental stimulation.  Through training it creates a trusted bond between the dog and his or her owner. Understanding how to communicate with your dog alleviates much frustration from the owner and also the lack of understanding from the dog.  

If we own a dog, we never stop training and the dog never stops learning. So making training fun for all the family is our goal here at Pawz for Health dog training. 

 

What is positive reinforcement?

Dog and puppy training MarylandPositive reinforcement training is rewards based training.  Rewards can take the form of food, praise, toys, what ever motivates the dog. Using rewards based training ensures your dog will repeat the desired behavior over and over again.  Science has proven that dogs learn quickly and more consistently if trained without fear. 

So, finding out what your dog or puppy responds best to is key to providing effective results.

Training should be fun! So training without fear or intimidation is our philosophy.

We are committed to never use pain, nor intimidation methods to train. Because our goal is to ensure we build a lasting and trusting relationship through the use of positive reinforcement – science based training.  

We educate and show our clients how effective positive reinforcement training methods are effective.

Clients see results because the dog or puppy is happy and last but not least motivated to learn.
