What I hope to provide to you in terms of dog training
The opportunity to learn:
How to give your dog cues (signals) that will clearly communicate what you are asking of your dog
How to read your dog's body language and vocalizations so you will know what they are trying to tell you
What to do when you learn your dog needs your help
How to reinforce behaviors you want your dog to do
How to discourage behaviors you don't want your dog to do
How to provide enrichment that aids in your dog's development and quality of life
How to teach your dog the rules and routines of your household
How to learn what motivates your unique dog and how to use that motivation to enhance learning
How to conduct a training program that will progressively make your dog more and more fluent (solid, quick responding) in the behavior you are training
How to teach your dog behaviors that will help her to navigate the human world
How to enhance your relationship, making you more and more valuable in your dog's eyes increasing their motivation to respond and work with you
