All my training programs start with positive reinforcement that focuses on training you to communicate with your dog through body language and voice commands.
At One Leg Up, I believe that positive reinforcement, rather than punishment, is the most effective way to modify your dogs behavior and at the same time strengthen the relationship you have with your dog.
Dogs receive praise and treats, not harsh physical reprimands.
I believe in the value and importance of working with the owners and the dogs to design a training plan that works best.
Special attention is spent in ensuring that the dogs are able to 'generalize' their learned tasks. Some dogs go through training and can perform well but only in the specific controlled setting where they learned their task (back yard, kitchen etc).
At One Leg Up, we'll make sure that your pet is trained to respond in various settings and conditions such as dog parks and other high distraction areas. This will make your dog a great travel companion too!
