Why Choose Reward-Based Training Methods?
Encourages Healthy
Behaviour Development
By teaching key habits and behaviours early on you increase the likelihood of raising a well-adjusted and confident dog who loves going anywhere with you.
Evidence-Based,
Results-Driven.
Fido is more likely to repeat a behaviour when they anticipate a pleasant outcome for themselves– whether you like that behaviour or not.
Reduces Problematic Behaviours
Dogs enjoy it!
Decrease the risk of creating or exacerbating stress while increasing Fido's enthusiasm and joy for learning alongside you.
Increased
Socialization
Socialization training with things they enjoy like food and play can help Fido feel optimistic and build confidence while experiencing new things and practicing interaction skills.
Builds A Trusting
Relationship
Fido is more likely to feel safe around you since good things happen in your presence. This can help decrease the tendency to be afraid of novelty as they grow older.

Client Testimonials
I am very choosy about my dog's care, and I felt very confident leaving my 2 dogs in Jodi's capable hands for in-home dog-sitting. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned, and she kept us posted about their activities and behaviour. I especially appreciate her knowledge about dog behaviour and training, and know that we can trust her judgement relating to the dogs, which is super important to us.
