This eagerness to look for the truths in teaching and learning has kept my style of training in a constant state of evolution. I advocate using a whole training system. Whole dog training involves reward conditioning, physical placement and control of your pet, as well as social relationship conditioning, including sensitivity exercise. The next consideration is your dogs social environment and social skills. Teaching techniques and their application are the third aspect of a complete dog training program.
Teaching techniques can be either hard or soft.
Often the actual technique is not as important as how the technique is used. A complete training program contains both soft and hard techniques. My programs are primarily directed toward educating household pets and their owners. Puppy training can start at 7 weeks with an in-home programs. I have also helped design therapy dog programs, that help people who are in treatment for physical and mental illnesses.
