TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
"convenient, achievable and relatable to real life..."
Proud Paws uses a Reward and Game-Based approach to dog training.
Simply put, using things our dogs enjoy, desire and consider valuable to motivate them into learning new things, as well as to redirect them away from undesirable behaviors toward a well-mannered alternative.
This does not mean bribing our dogs!
It appropriately reinforces good decision-making and changes emotional responses, making it more likely for them to repeat those good decisions again and again and to meet life's challenges calmly and thoughtfully.
These methods not only make training more fun for us and our dogs but more successful in the long-term.
Games fit easily into our daily routines.
Dog training doesn't have to be stressful, time consuming or overly complex...
Think convenient, achievable and relatable to real life.
"the most up to date and scientifically valid methods..."
"a path of learning and evolving for both the human and the canine... "
Our dogs are not out to control or dominate us and our environment, nor are they concerned about gaining an
'Alpha Dog' status within our homes. Therefore, nor should we be!
Using forceful, corrective or 'pack leader' based techniques can not only be dangerous, but often create confusion, stress and fear, as well as a relationship that's lacking in trust and consistency.
This makes learning and figuring out what the human wants so much more difficult.
Compassion does not mean complacent.
Having a loving and loyal companion involves learning to understand and respect the choices of another being, as well how to communicate our intentions and instructions clearly despite not speaking the same language.
Learn how to set boundaries and guidelines, while making space for kindness and consent.
Dog training is a path of learning and evolving for both the human and the canine and Proud Paws gives you the tools and readiness you both need for a successful life together.
Reward and game-based dog training are the most up to date and scientifically valid methods of training any animal.
Proud Paws understands that continuing education and constantly striving for growth as a professional is vital for remaining up to date with industry standards and maintaining high levels of quality.
We commit to never getting 'stuck in the mud', to not using a 'one size fits all' approach and to the use of techniques that are free from pain, force and fear.
