There are a lot of "buzz words" out there with regards to dog training and it can be difficult for owners to sift through the jargon and be sure they are making the right choice when they choose a trainer.
Furry Frolics aims to talk in plain English and with a friendly approach to ensure owners always feel comfortable to ask about anything they don't understand.
Furry Frolics uses rewards-based dog training methods, whereby there is a focus on teaching the dog what is expected in certain situations, and ensuring good decisions are then reinforced to create a reliably obedient dog who actually wants to do the job we are asking, be that coming when called, walking nicely on a lead, or settling on their bed when asked.
However, in return for their side of the bargain, as humans we must keep ours, so our training plans always have a focus on presenting the dog with appropriate outlets for species- and breed-typical behaviours, play and a lifestyle & routine appropriate to the individual dog.
Furry Frolics' main aim is not to turn your dog into a performing robot but rather to focus on developing important life skills, social skills and the ability to make great decisions that work for both human and dog. This approach will help your dog be set up for life in the fast-paced and sometimes confusing human world they live in.
We will look at the whole lifestyle of the dog in order to gain an understanding of what motivates him or her, and then build a training plan around the findings. The end result is a happier & easier life for owner and dog.
