Our Training Methods
Classical Conditioning
We help the dog form positive associations with sounds and words in order to elicit a reflexive response.
Operant Conditioning
The dogs learn that good behaviour and good choices result in good consequences, such as food or games.
Positive Reinforcement
We add something of value to the dog in the training session, such as food, in order to increase the probability that the good behaviour will happen again.
Luring
We use food in the hand to manipulate the dog into the position we want, such as a sit.
Capturing
We recognise good behaviour when it happens without being prompted, and reward it in order to encourage the behaviour again.
Shaping
We break the training down into easy sections so that we can achieve a high success rate and give lots of rewards to the dogs, making training fun.
