What training methods does K9-1 use?
The quick answer is that we use them all. Every dog is different so we are trained in virtually every method that is out there as well as some of our unique methods found no where else. The corner stone of our training program is based on knowledge of dog behavior and treating every dog with the respect all of God’s creatures deserve. We then make a plan from there. Generally, positive reinforcement based methods are used first to teach trust and exactly what actions we want from them, and then we teach responsibility through gentle corrective based training to create reliability in all environments. To be sure every dog completes their course with a wagging tail and aura of confidence all dogs and their people will receive the patience they deserve. We do not cram obedience or muscle the dogs around. Owners will not be rushed through an appointment or charged for lessons that need to go over the scheduled time. You and your dog will trust your trainer, we promise.
