Our Training Philosophy
Our training
is based around the idea that the relationship that we have with our
dogs is a two way street. We have just as much to learn from them about
emotional and behavioral well-being as they have to learn from us. For
this reason we use and promote positive reinforcement methods that help
us to create a relationship built on clear communication, respect and
understanding.
All of our training is
individualized to each dog's specific temperament and drive. Sessions
are designed to enhance three basic skills: focus, impulse-control and
attention to handler. We balance enthusiasm and self-control to develop
a dog that is calm, cool and focused, but most importantly -
motivated to learn.
Legends Dog Training is named after Paulo Coelho's book, The
Alchemist, and the idea that we all have a personal legend to fulfill,
including our dogs!
