Eugene, OR

Collie & Corso

The name “Collie & Corso” comes from Lauren's two canine companions: Harvest Moon (aka Harvey), a 3 year old Smooth Collie, and Vetiver (aka Veti), a 9 year old Cane Corso.

Training Philosophy

Genuine behavior change isn’t a “quick fix” - it’ll require a daily commitment to the training plan we formulate together, and I’ll be here to support you through that.

Services

Initial Consultation + Foundational Training Session includes obtaining a detailed history of your dog’s training and behavior history, construction of a specific behavior objective, and a foundational introduction on how to change behavior by addressing the root cause.
Continuing with a Training Package includes a highly customized training plan that will require daily logging of your training sessions via a shared document between us. Aside to helping you get in the habit of doing regular training sessions with your dog, this will also provide data for us to track and ensure we are making progress toward meeting your training goals.

Certifications

Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP), a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), a Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP), and recently completed her Diploma in Canine Behavior Science and Technology (Dip. CBST) with a specialization track in Aggressive Behavior through the Companion Animal Sciences Institute

    Description: This is the second Marauder leash I've purchased, and both are absolutely beautiful, well-made, and super helpful with managing my very strong and sometimes reactive dogs. I love the traffic handle which I use as an "emergency brake" when a rabbit or squirrel comes into play. I haven't worried about broken clasps or damage from teeth marks, because for once, I found something that's stronger than my dogs. Also, huge bonus how quickly these dry, and even bigger bonus that they're easily cleaned. Shipping was so fast, and I feel great about supporting this small, local business.

    Description: We are obsessed with our marauder leash! It is the first hands free leash that offers actual length for our pup to sniff and explore. I love having the fixed o ring so I can easily switch from a handled leash to hands free when walking both of my pups. This is our second Collie and Corso leash and nothing else compares. These are so high quality and easy to clean. I recommend them to all of my clients. I’ve been wanting to add another marauder to our collection, I just have to decide on colors!

We've got the answers for your questions

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
