Positive Reinforcement Training

Four Paws Care & Training offers various services!

Gorgeous Grooming

All training sessions come with:

• a pre session questionnaire, to set your trainer up with what is needed to bring for your session.

• A 60 minute training session where we go over your questionnaire, discuss, demonstrate and learn behaviours to improve your dog's problem behaviours, with hands on guidance to educate and mentor you on how to train your dog.

• An in depth training plan outlining the behaviours practiced in your session, links and additional resources

• Weekly check ins and ongoing support

• Discounts for additional training sessions

Dog Reactivity

Setting your dog up for success with:

• Brushing

• Bathing

• Nail trims

• Teeth cleaning

• Vet or groomer visits

Through desensitization, conditioning, introducing the offering of body parts, this is known as cooperative care.

General Manners

Four Paws are highly experienced in the following:

• Recall training (coming when called)

• Loose leash walking

• Focusing on handlers during walks

• Minimizing biting

• Appropriate greeting manners (no jumping)

• Calming behaviours such as mat training, stay and wait

Training Session Types

There are numerous factors that come into consideration with dog reactivity, this can stem from lack of socialization, negative experiences, the environment and duration of the interactions, the health of the dog. The most common and effective way to assist your dog is through counter conditioning. By completing sessions in home, we are able to introduce some management techniques to assist you in changing your dog's emotional response from fight, flight, freeze to looking at you.

"Oh Baby!"

Introducing a baby into the home can be a big change for your dog, with the "Oh Baby" training session we can begin setting your dog up for success with mat/station training, setting your home up, and introducing baby items to your dog during your pregnancy to set your dog up for success when your new bundle of joy arrives.

Training for adult, teenage or puppies who have just entered your home through adoption, rescue or from breeders. Set your new best friend up for success with a training session to outline your goals and expectations, and ways we can help best integrate your pup into your home.

This includes dog/dog bonding, dog/cat bonding and of course, ways to bond with your new pal too!
