Our trainers use reward based training methods to teach manners and commands to your dog. In order to solve a dog’s particular behavior issue, we work with the client to eliminate the factors that created it in the first place. Our approach is much more effective than merely offering corrections directed only at the symptoms. Proper training eliminates confusion, which results in increased confidence and less insecurity. So there is a behavioral component to all training we do with your dog.
By truly understanding the root causes of the dog’s behavior, we are able to develop a direction in training that will achieve measurable results. Knowing this enables us to determine the best solution for your dog. If your dog shows problem behavior, we look for the cause and remedy it in a positive and loving way. This has the benefit of a long-term solution without unwanted detrimental side effects such as fear, stress or anxiety.
The idea is to teach your dog as quickly and easily as possible. Working with its natural instincts and reflexes, we use humane methods that teach your dog, but will not “break its spirit”. At first we train with no distractions; then we teach your dog that it should mind even if distractions are present. Motivation, praise and proper discipline are all used in the training. Since ”I Said Sit!” specializes in behavior problems, we focus our attention on training dogs as household pets. We know that you have a life that involves much more than your dog, and our recommended practice methods are designed to accommodate your lifestyle.
