If you are looking for dog classes Canada, PivotalChange.ca provides world-class training which goes beyond positive reinforcement to include fear and force-free skills. We provide a program to deliver an incredibly strong relationship of cooperation, allowing the dog to participate in ways the support the good of a family unit.
Positive Reinforcement as a training method, at its simplest, is to reward the dog for behaviour you want and ignoring behaviour you don't. Training with Positive Reinforcement is scientifically proven to be more effective than any other method of training, and should not be mistaken for the term, a 'balanced approach'. A 'balance approach' purports to provide discipline as a way to 'help' the dog learn its place and to become obedient. It works on teaching the dog 'what not to do' rather than 'what to do'. Trainers in a 'balanced approach' regularly suggests ways to 'train' a dog which goes against gentler and kinder alternative and more effective methods. And, it does not accept that a dog can be an individual and contributing member of the family without any harm or discipline ever being inflicted upon him.
The balanced approach is developed using current science breakthroughs which have studied dogs emotional and cognitive processes to provide new and exciting ways to engage and connect with these sentient beings. Quite simply, there is a better and more effective way to change behaviours and train a dog to cope in our world.
Dog behaviour is born from the way a dog thinks and feels. The important part of our training process focuses on you and increasing your knowledge about what we know about dogs today, and what we know about your own dog's mind, decision-making, cognition and emotions. Our training process is a complete program, teaching you the dog's language of love and cooperation, and teaching you how to respond back showing what makes you happy, and praising the behaviour you and family value. We begin with a psychological assessment, develop a tailored plan, train your dog and you how to adopt new ways to think, feel and behave. You learn to guide your dog to become a fluent master in dog language, supporting your dog as skills are developed to become peaceful, loving and cooperative.
