What training methods do you use at Mastery K9?
At Mastery K9, we employ a balanced approach to dog training that incorporates a blend of positive reinforcement to encourage desirable behaviors and humane, fair correction to discourage undesirable behaviors. Our methods are designed to build a strong foundation of obedience and establish clear communication between the dog and its owner.
Positive Reinforcement: We use treats, praise, and play to reward dogs for following commands and exhibiting good behavior. This encourages them to repeat those behaviors.
Guided Learning: Using lures and guides, we help dogs understand the desired actions. This is often used in conjunction with positive reinforcement.
Boundary Setting: We establish rules and boundaries to create a structured environment in which the dog can learn effectively.
Correction: When necessary, we use corrections to guide the dog away from unwanted behaviors. These corrections are non-harmful and designed to redirect the dog's attention without causing fear or anxiety.
Consistency: We emphasize the importance of consistency in commands, rewards, and corrections to help dogs understand what is expected of them.Our training is tailored to the individual dog, taking into account their temperament, breed, and learning history to create a customized training plan. This holistic approach ensures that training is not only effective but also fosters a harmonious and respectful relationship between you and your dog.
