Training, for people with dogs

"Properly trained, a human can be a dog's best friend"

Hello, my name is Pamela Murray and I am a certified professional trainer and behavior consultant. It is my goal to help you have the relationship you want and dream of with your own dog. What I will patiently share with you are basic principles and methods based on the most current science of biology and psychology. Learning these skills and this type of training is fun for both people and dogs while at the same time extremely effective. Call for more information about the various training opportunities.

Treats and these types of rewards are great for focus work and starting the learning process. Yes, I love clickers too! Of course it is important to think of treats as a part of an ever learning process and that they are really initial tools for training. Other rewards such as affection, play and praise are more important in the long run.

Understanding why your dog is doing what he is doing is more important than simply correcting an unwanted behavior. Good manners are achieved without threats and punishment. Instead, learn to predict and prevent problems before they happen. This style of learning/teaching allows behavior and socialization techniques to work while positive behavior is encouraged.

Choke collars typically used for correction, punishment or force and compulsion methods of any kind are not used in ANY of the training. Dogs are not the pack animals so many think they are. Dogs do not need you to dominate them. If you want a relationship that allows you to bully your dog into a performance, force them using intimidation or pain, this training is not for you. I suggest you get a stuffed animal instead.
