 Positive Dog & Puppy Training  Our philosophy: Training is most effective when it's simple and enjoyable. It should always be a positive experience for dogs and their people. The truth is, if you and your pup aren't having any fun, neither of you will want to continue. Puppy Love, LLC takes a unique approach, combining games, playtime, and other positive reinforcers to teach our dogs good manners and help them become well socialized canine citizens. Our training techniques never involve the use of force, physical punishment or fear. The goal of Puppy Love Postive Dog Training is to help you become the best doggie parent you can be. Puppy Love programs teach you: - How to communicate effectively with your dog, so you can understand him, and he can understand you.
- To get inside your dog's head, and really understand why dogs do the things they do.
- To incorporate effective training into the daily activities you already do with your dog anyway.
- To keep training fun and easy for you and your pooch, so raising a healthy, happy, well-mannered dog is a joy, not a chore.
Puppy Love training methods are based on positive, esteem-building techiniques that make you and your dog feel better and more confident about what you're doing, whether you want your dog to learn fun tricks, participate in agility training, or the basic commands and good dog manners we all want our pups to possess. "Love Rules" - Be Consistent! Make sure everyone in the family uses the same words for each behavior, all the time. And do not use the same word to mean different things: such as, saying “down” if you want him to stop jumping, and lie down, and get off the furniture. This is terribly confusing to a dog.
- While you are training your pooch, there will be times when you need to manage a situation. If he doesn’t yet come when called, you can manage the behavior by keeping him in an enclosed area or on a leash.
- Distractions should be added gradually, and only after your dog is performing a behavior reliably. Remember that coming when called while your dog is outside is infinitely more difficult than when he's in the living room.
- Your pup will sometimes offer a less than perfect performance. Don’t let this discourage you or him. Behavior can be “shaped” by rewarding smaller steps, called “approximations.” Always keep your sessions short and successful: 3 to 5 minutes each, 3 to 5 times per day.
