| What's the best counseling or training method for your dog? |
In today's canine world, all of the choices you have can be confusing! Only you can decide what method you are most comfortable with when working with your dog. After all, it's your dog. At Front Range K-9 Academy, we use the Balanced Method. This simply means that instead of teaching your dog with a bunch of dog training tricks, food bribes, or forced behaviors, we build on its natural drives and instincts. And it means we teach you how to think like a dog: we teach you how to gain leadership, trust, and mutual respect. With our methods, you get individualized techniques that meet your dog's unique needs. In our private training classes, we incorporate our own demo-dogs into the process, so you get all the benefits of distraction proofing and socialization, plus courses exclusively designed for you! In our Semi-private classes we never have more than 6 student dogs per class, so you still get the benefits of individual attention, and your dog gets to practice around other dogs. We teach you how to use verbal rewards and humane corrections to get the best results. Instead of food treats, we encourage verbal and physical praise as a reward. We generally do not use food treats as a reward unless we are working on extreme behavior modification. And yes, we do teach you how to correct your dog - closely mimicking the way another dog would give a correction. We do not advocate striking, or kicking your dog. We do not endorse harmful or unwarranted corrections. Why do we use the Balanced Method? After 18 years, and approximately 1800 dogs, we've found it really works! |
