Dog Training (by David)



My training method goes back to my love of animals since I was a little boy. Early on I learned that dogs are pack animals and you must become your dogs pack leader to get the most out of your relationship with them.

I learned very quickly how to become the pack leader while working at a wild animal foundation. I observed the wolves, 150 of them to be exact. I was responsible for their care and feeding.

An old trainer friend of mine once told me “if you don’t train your dog... he will train you”.

Dogs need to know their place in the pack/family just as the wolves do. Unlike most of us, dogs like to work, so you must provide for them a job, not a 40 hour-a-week job but something exciting that they look forward to every day and it needs to include you, their best friend.

Here at Blue Ribbon Canine Academy we take these basic principals along with positive reinforcement and help you create a happy well rounded member of your family.

Our classes are for the everyday owner who is interested in a better understanding and communication with his dog.

Dogs have their own language just as humans do, once we learn this language training your dog is easy.

Dog training is most effective when both you and your dog are having fun... that is what we specialize in, putting the fun in dog training!

We take a positive approach to dog training, this is how the chore of dog training becomes the fun that you and your dog look forward to. It will help you to build a relaxed peaceful relationship with your dog.

Training your dog will quickly become intuitive. Dog training is not difficult, you just have to stay consistent — take the time to learn exactly what works and what doesn’t and you’ll be surprised how fast it can happen.
