Loretta Cleveland, CPDT, owner and
trainer of The Positive Pooch is a certified dog trainer with the
Council for Pet Dog Trainers.
"It takes time and commitment to train
a dog to be obedient. With my training techniques and your dog’s
willingness to please we will train your dog and in turn he or she
will be a pleasure to be around. A well trained dog makes all the
difference in the world."
"I believe that dog training
requires a positive approach. I do not
believe in bribing a dog to be obedient with food.
Your dog should respect you and listen to you on the
first command. Food is only used as a reward when your dog is
demonstrating this respect and being obedient. Instead of your dog
focusing on the bag of treats in your pocket, he should be focusing
on you. We will help you and your dog develop this relationship with
a diverse method. It is based on common sense, an open mind, and a
versatile approach. This approach consists of correcting your dog
when it is misbehaving, and praising it with love and affection when
it is obedient."
Obedience training is the
perfect start to you and your dog’s lifetime friendship. Or perhaps
a new start for an older dog that simply needs some direction. |
