Methods
I have put together a combination of training methods to first build a bond with your dog and then a communication system. I like to think of it as a working partnership. I consider myself a balanced dog trainer.
There are three main methods I use with every dog for a balanced system. The first is “free shaping”. The second method is called “positive reinforcement luring”. The last is “proofing.” These methods set dogs up for success without causing any unnecessary stress.
Positive reinforcement luring, free shaping and proofing are proven methods that will set your dog up for success.
Dogs are deliberate creatures and do everything for a reason. And when they are learning, everything needs to have either a reward or a correction when teaching them. This way they understand what they are doing is either right or wrong. I always teach a dog the right thing before showing them a correction for doing what I do not like/is not right.
