Methods of Training

Canine Specialties offers many different styles and methods of training. Our one goal is to provide you with training that will make your dog an accepted member of your family. We don't force you to train your pet to someone else expectations. We train you dog to fit your needs

Methods: Since all animals are different we don't use just one training method. You will be shown different ways to communicate with your dog and if it is not working we will develop another method just for you. We will show you how to train without high correction collars or forceful methods
Many problems occur because your pet does not understand what you want or expect.

Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels

Basic level: Designed to start your pet out and is focused on teaching you training and handling skills. This class is not just for puppies it starts out all pets regardless of age.
Intermediate level:  Many different levels these classes are designed to focus on the pet and refine your skills. This class is modified to fit the needs of the animals in class.
Advanced level:  training the dog to do all commands off leash with distractions.
C. G. C.  Certification (A. K. C. Canine Good Citizen)  therapy or classroom situations.

Common Canine Attitudes

1) There must be something in it for me attitude. This type of dog knows how to sit (lay, stay etc.) but won't do it unless there  is a treat

2) The maybe there is something in it for me dog. This type of dog is looking for any type of reward praise, food or attention. The most common complaint from the owner is "I have tried everything and my dog still jumps" The problem is the dog has learned he will be rewarded eventually if he is persistent (remember a pat on the head is a reward)

3) The if I don't do it I will be reprimanded dog. This type of dog will do what you want but only because they are scared of what will happen if they don't. You can see this by the dog being stressed during training. This can even cause some dogs to become aggressive. 

4) The are you gonna make me dog.  A very common type of attitude that comes in three basic forms. The first form is the dog that looks at you  too see if you are going to make an effort to follow up on your command. The second form is the drama dog that acts as though you are going to hurt it (this animal has learned that if they act scared you stop what you are doing) The third form is the dog that challenges back with a make me I dare you attitude.
