Communication is essential in all aspects of training a dog. We need to learn how to speak dog in more ways than one. They in turn need to understands our ways of communicating. That language consists of basic verbal commands, body language and energy. When a dog shows us how it feels and responds to others, we show them, in turn how we feel and think. Knowing how to communicate in any situation is therefore very important for your dog, as it follows you, reads your body language and your energy.

 

Just as a dog makes his personal boundary known when meeting a new dog, especially a pup, we also need to know how to set our own boundaries with them as to what is expected of them on their first meet, and deliver that in their language, so to speak. So in essence, we need training in communication. Simple obedience commands won't do in that situation.

​

Our approach is grounded in the philosophy that dogs need structure, rules, boundaries, and plenty of time for fun and exercise. By creating an environment that prioritizes both learning and play, dogs can overcome issues related to grief, fear, and rage, turning those challenges into positive growth, confidence to explore like seeking (sniffing), caring, and playing, all while you learn how to be the best leader you can be for your dog.
