At Ready, Set...Train!, the mission is to enhance the bond between dogs and humans by fostering clear communication. The focus lies in training dogs and educating their owners.

Dogs are taught appropriate behavior and how to express their needs, while people learn to better comprehend and communicate with their canine companions. Compassion and positive reinforcement form the basis for fostering understanding between individuals and their dogs.

Training is a collaborative effort, recognizing the importance of both human and animal roles in the relationship. Behavioral issues are a leading cause of frustration and eventual relinquishment for dogs under three years old. Many of these problems can be avoided through a positive training approach.

Owners can prevent or address existing issues, considering their dogs as integral family members. Ready Set...Train! encourages the involvement of every family member in the training process, offering a family-friendly approach that can be adopted and implemented collectively.

Rather than focusing on undesired behaviors, the training emphasizes teaching dogs the behaviors we desire. This method is scientifically proven to be the most efficient form of training, a benefit for dog owners.

Leading search and rescue, drug detection, and service dog organizations are embracing these training methods due to their effectiveness and reliability. The commitment to continuous learning is paramount.

The goal is to continually improve as trainers and educators for clients and their animals. This involves attending ongoing education events, obtaining certifications, and engaging in college-level courses to deepen understanding of animal behavior.

Ready Set...Train! strives to be the go-to choice for training and behavior needs.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog.

By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

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.
