Our Approach
At A Different Dog, we approach each dog through the lens of learner centered outcomes with reward based training.
We will help you learn how to communicate effectively with your dog for the behaviors you are looking for, show you how to precisely time your rewarding to your dog and how to navigate using what you are working with your dog to achieve your long term goals.
Dogs are individuals. The science of dogs, our knowledge of dogs and working with dogs over many years in many environments has taught us how to teach dogs as individual learners. Food reward based training is a highly effective methodology. Food is not love to a dog, it is a resource.
Dogs are learners. We know this to be true and when a learner has agency and choice, while understanding that with learning comes rewarding, the dog becomes an engaged learner.
We will customize a plan that is right for you and your dog.
