Collaborative Dog Training

“Collaboration” means to work together to produce or create something. 

 

I teach my students that the best method for training dogs is collaborative. Here’s what I mean. 

 

How can you collaborate to produce or create something? I show students how to work with their dogs, instead of working against them. Let’s start with the nature of dogs, then the breed you chose, then your dog. What talents does your dog have and how best can we work with them? Can you help your dog discover the right solutions?

 

Dog training should not be focused on how to stop a dog doing this or that. 

 

Dog training should not be something you do to a dog. It is better if it is done with a dog. That is the challenge I give all my students and dogs. It is a better way.

 

Plan accordingly.
