With over 30 years of experience in competitive obedience and behavior modification, Splash Premier Pet Resort applies a combination of scientifically proven methods to each client based on professional assessment and analysis.
They use a variety of guidance tools and rewards, selecting the appropriate options for each dog based on an individual assessment and consultation. Their training program is based on the concept that a level of trust and respect between dog and handler is the foundation for a learning experience that is creative and fun, in order to help each dog reach his full potential and be a joy to live with.
Splash serves Orange County, Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas, adhering to six principles of training:
- Dog and trainer are partners in the learning process.
- Each dog learns at his own pace, and patience is paramount.
- Trainers must always work to reduce stress and to develop a relationship with each dog that is based on mutual trust and respect.
- Creativity and variety are essential in preventing boredom and disinterest.
- Anger, impatience, and frustration have no part in effective training.
- Trainers should always “listen” to each dog: learn his physical and emotional language, and he will tell you how he will learn most effectively.
Splash has found great success in working with each client and dog as a team to solve behavioral issues before they escalate into serious problems. Their goal is for each dog they train to be a good ambassador for the Splash training program and to be a good citizen in his community.
Positive training methods are most effective and provide long-lasting results, and Splash consults with clients regularly to ensure realistic goals and continuing education. Whether providing private sessions, in-house training, or group classes, they work toward building lasting relationships between dog and handler and between Splash and clients.
