Core Training Concepts

How dogs Learn

1. Marker Training - Clear communication for wanted & unwanted behaviors.

2. Four Quadrants of Learning - Shaping behaviors through rewards and consequences.

3. Pressure & Release - The universal language between all species.

4. Teaching Behaviors - Luring, Capturing, Shaping, Molding which method to use when and how.

5. The 3 D's - Distance, Duration, Distractions - Real-World Reliability.

And much more...

Sucess is not measured by how your dog behaves in class with a professional trainer. It is measured by the confidence and partnership you have with your dog in the real world.

I help owners build stronger partnerships with their dogs by focusing on communication, understanding, and real-world reliability. While you learn how dogs think and learn, your dog is trained from basic obedience to off leash control. The goal isn't just obedience - it's dog's that behave because they understand what you want.
