Greenlin Pet Resorts uses a blend of methods depending on the dog we are working with. Relationship takes priority- we need to form a connection with the dog to understand their motivators, how they best learn, and what we need to overcome. They also need to have the chance to get to know and trust us, so that they can learn in a comfortable environment and want to work with and for us. From there, we can begin working on the foundation. We use a balanced approach to teach new behaviors and give clear communication on what is and isn’t allowed. We also show the dog that they will be given opportunities and outlets to do their favorite activities, so that through fulfillment and a clear understanding of expectations they can live with a healthy state of mind and make good choices.
