Customer Reviews
- - Zeus: Zeus had a bad case of OCD. He obsessed over shiny things & had a lack of impulse control. He had to work really hard to control himself & then one day I got a call from his "dog mom". She said, "He did it! He started to go crazy when he saw the shiny thing & then I told him to stop & he did!" ...the beginning of peace in the home.
- - Finn: Finn was prone to panic attacks. He had a hard time coping with the day to day. Anything from basic leash walks to storms sent him to crazy town. We taught Finn that the leash was his friend & that storms weren't all bad. He was even finally able to begin to get along better with his sister! After-all, when you're not afraid, there is no reason to fight the world.
- - Ellie: A beautiful young retriever, Ellie came to us at 5 mos old. She was a smart, adolescent pup whose energy & lack of manners was beginning to be a bit overwhelming for mom & dad. She worked hard on all the rules of the home. She learned not to pull during walks, come back when called & especially learned not to jump on others & knock them down!
- - Angie R.: We had the trainer come to help us with some aggression that had recently started between my two dogs. He came for an initial evaluation and in that hour had identified the problem immediately. It was shocking how fast he made the appropriate assessment! He gave us strategies and things to work on and we now have dogs that we can keep together! Amazing!! Highly recommend him and my dogs would agree! They loved him as well.
- -Carol and Dave C.: We contacted Karl from Canine Conversations with concerns about handling our reactive rescue. I would highly recommend his training style. He came to our home, listened to our concerns, and taught our dog and our family how to respond to certain behaviors.
- - Andrea S.: Karl at Canine Conversations helped us immensely with our first foster dog. Because of his expertise and wisdom we were able to help her find her forever home. He was the first one we contacted when we were asked to foster another dog with significant issues. Working with him helped us to help some dogs that deserve the best care, and he has helped us be better dog parents.
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
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.
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.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
