My Dog Training Methodology:
​
The more I learn about Science, the more I realize what I still have to learn.
Most people hear trainers call themselves either a "Positive Reinforcement" Dog Trainer, or a "Balanced" Dog Trainer. I used to call myself a Positive Reinforcement trainer, but then realized since I use other quadrants, I'm not exclusively "Positive Reinforcement".
I frequently use "Negative Punishment", which even though it may sound bad, it's not at all. Negative Punishment means the removal of something to decrease a behavior. Think: Timeouts, turning around when a Dog jumps up on you, or ignoring a dog that is attention barking.
I will never use Positive Punishment (adding something to decrease a behavior). Think: Shock Collars, Prong collars, Hitting, etc.
​
I've labeled myself as Positive Reinforcement, Force Free, Fear Free, etc. Labels are annoying and don't really clarify anything.
​
In simple words and in an effort to not alienate any clients thinking of hiring me, here is what I will NOT use on your dog:
​
Choke Collars
​
Prong Collars
​
Shock or Stimulation Collars
​
Corrections
​
If you currently use any of these tools, I won't pressure you to stop using them and I certainly won't judge you. However, I can show you a better way if you're willing to try.
