Major pet toy manufacture seeks Christine's expert opinion on "natural" dog behaviors for their new line of toys. Dog training requires a solid understanding of how a dog functions mentally. Many times it is the pet owner who misinterprets behaviors based on human reasoning and does not have a full understanding from the dogs perspective. This is where Dogs 4 Life helps each family, we teach them basic communication and help them to understand their dog to resolve behavioral and obedience issues.
Dogs 4 Life offers multiple training programs that can suite your lifestyle, we offer flexibly for schedules, at a reasonable rate. We specialize in home training which is tailored to every individual family goals. Our focal point in training is in three areas: first, we train on a whole dog approach; which is based upon health, physical traits, temperament, breed and mental ability, this is what makes our programs so successful over other training programs. Second, we varied our training methods which gives flexibility and ability to each dog and their family. Lastly, "Building a Brighter Tomorrow for Today's Pets" this is our mission and the core of our business. We train the overall dog; we address behavior and obedience through structured reinforced behavior shaping, creating motivation and drive for the dogs performance without bribes for a cookie or harsh corrections. During the consultation we assess the family's knowledge, skill level and evaluate the dog. Our programs techniques are based on fairness and consistency as we teach with out forcing, dragging or pulling as these can reduce the dogs reliability.
