Adhering to the LIMA principle (Least Invasive/Minimally Aversive), Faithful Friends promotes effective, humane, dog- and people-friendly training techniques rooted in current learning theory and animal behavior research. Coaching sessions aim to set dogs up for success, build trust, and enrich the bond and relationship.
By utilizing the foundation of positive reinforcement, the company seeks to address problem behaviors at their root and prevent their occurrence. The training approach is based on the understanding that behavior that is reinforced will be repeated.
Instead of reactive punishment, Faithful Friends emphasizes proactive reinforcement for desired behaviors, promoting learning and fostering a positive environment. The company encourages having faith in one’s canine friend, promising that a dog that is eager to learn and a joy to live with will be the result.
Whether choosing one-on-one coaching in the home, convenient day training, or group classes, Faithful Friends Dog Training aims to ensure that the training is centered on the well-being of both the dog and its owner.
