About Dynamite Dog Training Services
At Dynamite Dog we know dogs. We know how dogs think and how they learn. This is the science side of dog training and understanding this is crucial, whether you are teaching obedience or modifying problem behaviour. We also know that every dog is unique. They each come with their own individual personality, level of motivation and ability to learn which affect how you might apply the principles of training. This is the artistic side of dog training and understanding this is important in order to maximize your efforts and your dog's potential.
Essentially there are two methods to train a dog. One is through positive reinforcement (rewards) and the other is through aversives (pain, fear, etc). At Dynamite Dog we employ positive reinforcement techniques with exceptional results. Although training with aversives can at times seem like the quicker, more efficient path to follow, at what cost do those results come. We believe that the training process should be much more enjoyable and should contribute to enhancing the trust and bond that have with our dogs.
