Key Concepts
Our approach to dog training is built on several key concepts that have been proven to be effective in improving canine behavior. These include:
Calmness: A calm dog always listens and responds better to training.
Flexibility: A dog that is flexible and adaptable is more likely to respond well to training.
Body awareness: Understanding your dog's physical space and limitations is crucial for effective training.
Arousal balancing: Managing your dog's arousal levels is essential for achieving the best results in training.
Disengagement: Disengaging from undesired behaviors and redirecting your dog towards desired behaviors is a key component of our training approach.
Closeness: Building a strong bond with your dog through trust, clear communication, and consistency is essential for creating a lifelong relationship.
What We Do and Do Not Guarantee
At Two Dads and a Dog, we do not guarantee dog behavior. Animal behavior, including that of humans, is never fixed or static and can change depending on circumstances and environment. Even well-trained behaviors can fade over time without repetition and pleasant consequences. Ultimately, a dog's behavior is the responsibility of the owner.
Conclusion
At Two Dads and a Dog, we are committed to providing a truly positive training experience for dogs and their owners. We believe in the importance of creating a strong bond between humans and dogs, and we work tirelessly to provide customized training programs that cater to the unique needs of each dog.
